Clean Water
Clean Water
Water is a fundamental human need. Each person on Earth requires at least 20 to 50 liters of clean, safe water a day for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean.
53,000 Pakistani children under five die annually from diarrhea due to poor water and sanitation. Children suffering from repeated episodes of diarrhea are likely to fall behind in school or drop out altogether.
This project’s objective is to install hand pumps within impoverished communities, facilitating access to clean and safe drinking water. By mitigating the risk of waterborne diseases, the endeavor aims to significantly improve public health outcomes in these districts.
This project is operating in Gujranwala villages and Sialkot.
Objectives
- To overcome waterborne diseases
- To Reduce the time that the community pays at tube wells
- To reduce the financial burden that the community pays for drinking water
- To create awareness about the importance of clean drinking water in the community
Impact
- 415 hand pumps have been installed in the community
- More than 40,000 families are getting clean water.
