Under a public-private-community partnership paradigm, JBF has piloted community-driven micro-level water enterprise initiatives to show how new technology and skill development can lead to safe drinking water solutions. In addition to guaranteeing the provision of clean drinking water, this project enhanced the villagers' self-help groups' (SHG) prospects for employment.

The campaign places a strong emphasis on empowering local communities to adopt suitable drinking water filtration technologies. Water purification plants and distribution networks can be operated and managed by entrepreneurs and community-based organizations like Jal Sabha.

Helping schools build and maintain rooftop rainwater-harvesting systems to guarantee that kids have access to clean drinking water all year round. Indirectly, JBF entails collaborating with the community at large to build new rainwater gathering systems or revitalize existing ones to address water scarcity in rural areas. Children are freed from their household chore of getting water, which raises their enrollment and attendance rates in school. Jal Dal children's groups are set up to supervise the upkeep and management of school water-harvesting tankas, guaranteeing volunteerism and community service, and enabling kids to gain practical environmental knowledge while being exposed to regional water management customs.
