Carbon-free water for the children of Balakot

Dear Friends

Through your generous support , AWARD Pakistan has managed to raise USD19,358 to install hand pumps and water wells in Tehsil Balakot , District Mansehra.The COVID -19 crises as slowed down the donation process for few of our projects including this one. 

Through this project, the children of Balakot were provided with the wells and the handpumps in 4 target areas as the children of the areas were suffereing from multiple diseases due to the contaminated water of the river which was the only source to drink water. In 2016, nearly 8000 inhabitants (includng women and children)  of Balakot were benefitted wih this project. 

According to Mr. Mustafa (our social mobilizer). The beneficiaries are satisfied with the provided facility and are using it with great responsibility.the disease ratio in these areas has been drastically reduced after the intervention. During the last quarter, the schools remained closed due to the lockdown by the Government. 

 Due to the COVID-19 lockdown , the social mobilizer was not able to visit the target areas but he stayed in communication with the target communities. There has been a serious decline in the donations for this project. Therefore we request all our donors and supporters to donate for this cause to provide children and women (living on the mountains), an access to safe drinking water.
