The Home of Hope in Bengaluru, which looks after hundreds of poor people, is facing its worst water crisis in 20 years. The Home's borewell, in the rocky area near Hennur Road, has run dry and water is being brought in tankers every day to meet the needs of its 700 inhabitants. While the Home of Hope is within the limits of the village panchayat, there is no water connection. The founder of the Home, T Raja, claims that when he approached the panchayat for a connection, they told him that there wasn't enough water for their own needs.
