We pledge –

To protect our communities from disease,

To fight for sustainable sanitation,

To ensure access to safe toilets and water is a right,

And leave no one behind.

We pledge to make every effort to make the ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ and the ‘Jal Jeevan Mission’ successful.

To CREATE a ‘Jan Andolan’ to educate each other on the use of water, and to move towards sustainable and safe sanitation behaviors.
