Nestled between the Greater Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges, Ladakh boasts stunning landscapes. Here, mountain glaciers are not just vital for drinking and crop irrigation – they're life's essence. But, year by year, global warming quickens their melt, depriving villagers of much-needed water, especially during summers. The consequence? Due to water scarcity, residents are forced to leave their villages and migrate. Deeply committed to environmental conservation, the primary objective of this campaign was to confront the severe problem of water scarcity threatening lives in the region and adopt imaginative methods to alleviate it on the occasion of World Water Day.
Strategy:
In line with its unwavering commitment to championing water conservation efforts nationwide, Astral Foundation has proactively furnished 4,200 meters of pipelines alongside essential materials for the construction of Ice Stupas. This innovative initiative is ingeniously tailored to provide a timely solution to the pressing water needs of the region.
Ice Stupa is an inventive water conservation venture, spearheaded by the lauded innovator and engineer, Mr. Sonam Wangchuk. The collaboration between Astral Foundation and Mr. Wangchuk's institute is firmly rooted in a shared mission: to confront and surmount the dire challenge of water scarcity that imperils lives within the region. The shared goal is to pioneer groundbreaking methods that alleviate the impending crisis.
Execution:
At the heart of our campaign lies a compelling video narrative that eloquently showcases the transformation brought forth by the brand in a remote Ladakhi village. Through the artful communication of #BehatarKalWithAstral, we orchestrated a message of positivity, heralding a brighter future. The narrative deftly unveils the trials faced by the community due to water shortage, followed by the triumphant impact of our campaign—preserving a staggering million litres of water, timely utilized for agriculture and cultivation. The video's emotional resonance struck an immediate chord with the digital audience.
Capitalizing on YouTube, we galvanized the campaign across multiple social media platforms to garner maximum traction. To amplify the message's reach, strategic collaborations with micro-influencers were meticulously woven into the campaign's fabric.
