Nourish International: The Ohio State Chapter will be sending four students this summer to the Kutch region of Gujarat, India in order to construct a water catchment site. Our mission is to end extreme poverty by ensuring water security in that region. In this semi-arid region of Kutch, lies a small village called Gagodar where our project will take place. We will partner with Samerth Charitable Trust who possess 10 years of experience in implementing sustainable projects in the Kutch District.

The Nourish team will consist of a Project Team Leader, a Communications Director, and two additional avid interns. It is best to begin the series of blog posts with an introduction of our Team.
