Carbon-free water for the children of Balakot

Thank you very much for your kind support and helping us reach our initial target of $ 10,000 ( which was later raised by AWARD) at GlobalGiving. AWARD Pakistan has been working from the last 21 years in community development and so far has been able to support approximately 85,000 plus direct beneficiaries and nearly 500,000 beneficiaries indirectly. Our efforts to improve the life of marginalized communities’ especially rural women are still going effectively through number of interventions in the rural areas of Pakistan.
Since the funds took some time to transfer because of the formal procedures. AWARD Pakistan has started primary workings on the given project. As discussed in the description of the project AWARD Pakistan will install 32 handpumps in the 08 rural areas of Balakot, District Mansehra. 

Currently, The organisation is in the phase of surveying several villages in Balakot to find the most appropriate 08 villages where the death toll is the highest due to water-borne diseases among children and women. AWARD Pakistans hardworking team will go from village to village (taking a sample survey of 20 people from one village). After completing the survey the organisation will select 8 most deserving areas and will start installing the hand pumps right away which would be covered hopefully in the next report of August2016.As the project is highly sustainable therefore it will Help mitigate the effects of dirty water.

The survey team will complete its visit and report to the headoffice till May 20, 2016. The next activities will be written in detail in the next report of August 2016.
