Provision of Clean water to the Children of Punjab

With the help of community members, AWARD Pakistan has taken the initiative to construct 3 RO water treatment facilities to supply safe drinking water to Punjab's three underprivileged villages. Because of the tremendous support it has received over the past few quarters, AWARD would like to thank its donors.

Surveys show that 75–80% of people in the nearby villages depend on subterranean salt water, which is becoming the source of waterborne illnesses. Another major cause for concern is the prevalence of arsenic in canal and subterranean water. Pakistan is predicted to be on the list of water-scarce nations in 2025 since many of its districts will run out of quality drinking water. So far, USD 5222 has been raised for the project. 

To begin building its water reverse osmosis filter plant in a rural part of District Faisalabad, AWARD initially needed 7,000 USD, which is because of a 46% increase in inflation.

In the meantime, AWARD has installed handpumps across the nation to supply populations without access to safe drinking water. The communities in these relevant places are grateful to GlobalGiving and AWARD and are very delighted.

In order to safeguard and manage the RO plant, AWARD will involve the community in its implementation. In addition to the GlobalGiving Donations, AWARD is searching for more means of raising money and is attempting to bring the matter before the local government representatives.

Once the target is achieved, the staff will inform the community about the intervention and the activities associated with it and will start initiating the project.

APPEAL: We would like to request all our donors and supporters to keep supporting us for this cause to provide children and women with access to safe drinking water in the rural areas of Punjab, Pakistan.
