The water well project in collaboration with Global Giving is being implemented successfully. The team of Customs Health Care Society (CHCS) under the leadership of project leader, Dr. Asif Mahmood Jah visited the project area in the last week of December 2016, in order to examine the progress of the project and get feed back from the local community. It was encouraging to note that the 15 wells so far completed completed in collaboration with Global Giving are quenching the thirst of thousands of people as well as animals on daily basis. The local community was very grateful to Customs Health Care Society as well as Global Giving for providing water wells of sweet drinking water at their door steps. These water wells have brought happiness and comfort particularly for women who previously have to travel 5 to 6 kilometer daily to fetch water for their families. At some places the whole village was gathered to thank CHCS and Global Giving for the water wells. At the same time they were also requesting for more water wells under the project as the desert of Thar is a vast area consisting of thousands of villages. The only sustainable source of drinking water in Thar, desert is the manualy dug wells, which if maintained properly can last for 50 to 100 years.
It is pertinent to note that besides digging of new wells CHCS has devised a complete system maintenance and supervision of already completed wells. As soon as a well is completed, the local community is requested to look after this well as it belongs to them. This action by CHCS pleases the local community and they happily look after the well. Special team consisting of representative of CHCS and two persons from the localy community has been assigned the job of inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement on as when required basis. CHCS thanks all the donors as well as Global Giving for supporting this project. At the same time the world community is requested to donate generously to the project for completion of the same as soon as possible.
