Embracing new technology
As this footage from Kharelthok shows, the virtual reality experience is powerful.
The film is not only testament to our joint commitment to ending the global water challenge (the Water Programme has enabled us to reach more than one million people with safe water and two million with sanitation globally since 2012). It’s also a sign of our willingness to embrace new technology and the potential it has to bring people closer than ever before to our work and the communities we’re empowering, as they transform their lives through access to clean water and decent toilets.
Having spent nearly four weeks living and working alongside the community as part of this project, it’s a huge privilege to share Kharelthok’s story in this way, and to be a part of their journey to a brighter future after the devastating events of 2015.
We’d also love to hear your thoughts. You can contact the team using this simple form, or share your reactions to the film using #AftershockVR. We can’t wait to hear from you.
