Millions of people in Pakistan lack reliable access to safe drinking water as climate shocks swing from drought to destructive monsoon floods, damaging wells, hand pumps, and piped networks. Groundwater tables are falling in arid zones, while shallow sources are increasingly contaminated by sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial effluents—raising risks of diarrhea, cholera, and long-term arsenic exposure.
In low-income urban neighborhoods and remote rural districts, intermittent power and high fuel costs interrupt pumping and treatment, and households shoulder long, unsafe water-collection journeys. The burden falls disproportionately on women and girls, and recurrent outages force families to buy costly tanker water or rely on unsafe sources.
Pakistan is facing a severe water crisis, with water availability per capita significantly reduced over the years. The scarcity of clean drinking water has led to numerous health issues, affecting the quality of life and economic stability of the communities. The project area, Tehsil Khipro, is particularly affected by water scarcity, forcing residents to consume contaminated water, leading to various waterborne diseases. This project is essential to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water, thereby reducing disease rates and improving the living conditions of the community.
The Water for Life Project aims to provide clean drinking water to the communities in Tehsil Khipro, District Sanghar, Sindh, Pakistan. This project will install three deep hand pumps and two small solar wells, benefiting approximately 500 people and 1,500 heads of livestock. The goal is to alleviate water scarcity and improve the overall health and wellbeing of the local population.
More specifically, we aim to:
● Provide sustainable access to clean drinking water for the targeted communities.
● Improve the health and hygiene conditions of the local population.
● Empower local communities through active participation and management of the water resources.
