Tackling the global water crisis
Access to safe water is a challenge for over 2 billion people worldwide. Many communities face severe health, education, and economic setbacks due to inadequate water resources. GF Piping Systems India, supported by WaterAid India is organizing the GF Walk for Water, set to take place in Ratnagiri on December 1, 2024. This event highlights the urgent need for safe and sustainable water solutions, raises awareness and funds to create lasting change.
A movement to make a difference
The GF Walk for Water is not just a walk but a call to action. Participants, including GF Piping Systems India’s employees, partners, and the local community, will walk to symbolically represent the long journeys many undertake to fetch water.

“Water is life, and with this initiative, we aim to, to create connections for life by making clean water more accessible to more people,” said Mr. Hrishikesh Kulkarni, Managing Director, GF Piping Systems India. “WaterAid India’s support ensures that every step we take together is one towards sustainable water solutions for all.”
