Prakriti Singh
Prakriti Singh is a 17 year old Delhi girl who has recently become Google’s top hit for “Water Wonder Girl”.
Traumatized by the death of her grandfather from water-borne hepatitis in 2011, Prakriti formed her own NGO, “Praanaadhar” (essence of life), at age 16. She worked with different NGOs in the slum areas of Delhi, conducting workshops on water safety for the children who she later organised into ‘Water Ambassadors’.
She has been actively fund raising in her school and with corporate and individual sponsors to install water purifiers in these remote villages of Delhi. She has installed 2 water purifiers that provide clean, potable water to all individuals of the community, free of cost.
Her unbendable determination to rid Delhi of contaminated drinking water and subsequent efforts to supply clean water has earned her media attention from all around. Currently studying in the 12th grade at one of India’s top schools, The Shri Ram School in Gurgaon, Prakriti has many active interests ranging from sports to arts and journalism.
She represented India at the US Kids World Golf Championship in North Carolina in 2009. She has been expressing her support to conservation through her works of Art.
In 2013, she interned at NIE at Times of India, researching and writing about pressures that plague today’s teenagers and earlier this year she become one of INK’s young volunteers working on the social media front
