💧 From Tanker to Tap: How One School Got Clean Water in 10 Days

🚰 It Started with a Single Call
A government school principal in a small village called me with a voice full of worry.
> “Sir, our tankers are irregular. The children are drinking from an open source. Some fell sick last week…”
For years, this school had no access to safe drinking water. Tankers came late — if they came at all. Students brought water bottles from home, and teachers rationed whatever they could collect. This wasn’t just an inconvenience. It was a health crisis.
That call lit a fire.

🛠️ Day 1 to 3: Rapid Assessment
We dispatched our Rigo field team the very next day.
The terrain? Rocky. The school? Remote.
But the need was clear. We didn’t wait for approvals to trickle in. We acted.
Within 72 hours:
- We mapped the water quality and volume requirements.
- Decided on a Rigo CSR-standard filtration system.
- Arranged transport and resources.

🧰 Day 4 to 8: Execution
We didn't use a standard playbook. We used empathy as our blueprint:
- Ensured zero disruption to school hours.
- Installed a separate tank for drain water reuse (for toilets and gardens).

🎉 Day 9: Testing. Day 10: Cheers!
By the 10th day, water flowed from the tap like a blessing.
Clean. Clear. Cold.
The students gathered around the tap like it was a magic show. Teachers cried. Some of our team members did too.
> “We used to wait for tankers. Now we feel like we are part of the city.”
That’s the power of meaningful CSR.

🌍 It’s Not Just About One School
This isn’t a one-off story. This is our standard operating procedure.
At Rigo, we’re building a future where every school in India gets clean water — not as a favor, but as a right.
We’ve reached over 50,000 government schools, and we serve 5 million+ people daily.
But it all starts like this — with one call, one team, one tap.
