Global Interfaith WASH Alliance (GIWA) with support from UNICEF will initiate a discourse towards need for an access to safe drinking water, improved sanitation and proper hygiene at a round table in New Delhi followed by Ladakh Summit.

August 25, 2016. New Delhi::Over ten prominent religious voices from the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance (GIWA) in partnership with UNICEF will deliberate with editors and corporate leaders at a roundtable discourse and a summit meeting on Sarva Dharam Swachhta Sankalp: a pledge to spread the significance of cleanliness and sanitation among their followers in New Delhi .This will be followed by The GIWA Summit in Ladakh on August 29-30th 2016.

Partnership with religious communities for spreading critical messages on sanitation among their congregation can be effective in challenging attitudes and practices.

The Delhi roundtable session will deliberate on How Faith Leaders, Private Sector and Media can converge for WASH in India. Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati, President of Divine Shakti Foundation and Secretary-General of Global Interfaith WASH Alliance will preside the the sessions. The sessions will be attended by:

Faith Leaders
Swami Chidanand Saraswati (Parmarth Niketan), Maulana Kalbe Sadiq (Shia Scholar), Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji (Former Jathedar of the Akal Takht), Lama Lobzang (Secretary General of International Buddhist Confederation), Archbishop Dr. Anil JT Cuoto (Archbishop, Archdiocese of Delhi)
Corporate
Gayatri Subramaniam (IICA), Rajesh Kumar Sahijwani (IFFCO Tokio), Pratyush Panda (Head-CSR, ACC Ltd), Sudip Sinha (SR Vice President – Environment Projects, Stone India Ltd.)

The Ladakh Summit will be hosted at Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre and aims to initiate a dialogue on critical issues of WASH with special impetus on Ladakh region. The summit will discuss the interlinkage of multiple issues of inequity, inaccessibility and other related issues in the region, with focus on minority populations.

While being a remote and harsh region, Leh­Ladakh is also identified as one of the Minority Concentration Districts by the Government of India, with socio­economic statistics lower than the national average. It stands poorly on the national programs on sanitation and drinking water supply.
The Ladakh summit will bring together faith leaders, corporate leaders, media and the local population comprising of different religions. An estimated 500 people are expected to be present at the event where faith leaders from five prominent religions of India will come together.
