This project will help build Gravity Flow Clean Water Projects across Upper Khyber Pakhtoon Khawa, Gilgit Baltistan, Chitral and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This project will provide clean water to more than 350,000 people who are currently consuming contaminated water.
Access to river water is a major problem given mountainous terrain and harsh weather conditions while the majority of urban centres are faced with water stress and insecurity as water from municipal sources cannot meet demand. An added challenge is the vulnerability of the entire region to natural hazards such as landslides, rock slides, avalanches, floods and earthquakes that damage water and other infrastructure leading to contamination of water and disruption of water services.
The solution to the given challenges is to provide clean drinking water through a gravity flow water supply. Clean Water Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan's overarching goal is to reduce diarrhoeal morbidity by 50% in its partner communities in the Northern Areas and Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The project aims to provide quality drinking water to approximately 500,000 inhabitants of Upper Dir, Kashmir, Gilgit, Baltistan, and Chitral.
The long term impact of this project lies in eradicating the water borne fatal diseases and to improve the quality of life in the project areas. Due to contaminated water hundreds of human suffer daily while trying to collect water from streams and ponds. In the long term this project will address all these challenges, primarily focusing on clean water availability to all residents of the mentioned project areas.
