Jharkhand WASH Forum ~~ Since 2015, FXBIS, in Jharkhand, has been working in close coordination with the Drinking Water & Sanitation department, Govt.of Jharkhand, the Panchayati Raj Institutions and other non-governmental organizations to bring the WASH (Water, Sanitation and Health) programme to as many communities as possible. Currently, our interventions are in the 34 villages from 5 gram panchayats of district, Ranchi. Our team has managed to gain community acceptance and active participation by converting the WASH programme into an INTEGRATED project, wherein the approach is to catalyse positive changes in domains of livelihoods, education and protection & safety of women, children, along with the interventions on WASH.
In February 2018, FXBIS floated the idea of a collective forum to achieve the objectives of WASH in the entire state of Jharkhand. Other NGOs, such as Plan India, World Vision, Child Fund India, Samriddhi Trust, including the UNICEF, unanimously agreed to launch the forum with FXBIS leading the group.
Congratulations to all participating NGOs for spear-heading this much needed programme more aggressively and all the very best for your first meeting in less than two months of time.

FXB India Suraksha (FXBIS) is an Indian non-governmental, non-profit organization providing developmental assistance to disadvantaged children, families and communities in rural and urban India. The well-being and protection of children is at the heart of all FXBIS interventions. In order to ensure a child-friendly environment, FXBIS is committed to redress socio-economic vulnerabilities by working with communities and co-creating sustainable development solutions.
As the country chapter of the Geneva-based NGO, François-Xavier Bagnoud International (FXBI), FXB’s activities in India date back to 1991. In 2007, FXB India Suraksha was established as an autonomous Indian entity registered under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013.
FXBIS’ scope of intervention have expanded over the years from its original focus on working with families affect by HIV/AIDS to a community-based, multi-sectoral programme approach along its four ‘Domains for Change' – Access to Quality Education, Poverty and Livelihood, Improved Health Status, and Child Rights and Protection. Arming ourselves with this integrated approach, we presently have a goal of seeing 5 million families lead a self-dependent life of dignity with FXBIS’ support by 2027.
FXBIS implements its programmes/projects directly on the ground. Currently, our 10 state teams across India are working on issues related to the areas of children rights and protection, gender equality, improved health and nutrition, sanitation and water, care and support to HIV/AIDS infected and affected people, quality education, enhanced livelihoods options as well as prevention of human trafficking and child sexual abuse. As of date, we have catalysed change and self-reliance for over 5 lakh families through the community-based integrated interventions.
