A clean environment is essential for human health and well-being. Therefore, HOPE not only strives to provide quality health care and education to the underprivileged but also pays special attention to environmental sanitation and solid waste management. HOPE has been running different campaigns to develop a cleaning habit in the informal settlements of Karachi. Other than that, twelve washrooms were constructed for the flood affectees at super highway, four water tanks for the availability of pure safe drinking water in the camps, PuR sachets were distributed to around 48,000 families. PuR is used to transform the contaminated water into pure water.

HOPE knows the significance of environmental health which is concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment that may affect human health. In this regard, HOPE in collaboration with the CBM Society of Health Managers organized a health and environment conference with the name "ECO-HEALTH 2012" at IoBM to highlight the implication of environment on public health in Pakistan.

This was yet another step by HOPE to
create awareness regarding the impact of environment on our health. Different renowned doctors were invited to put the spotlight on environment related issues that are affecting human health. The event was a success and HOPE is glad to be a part of it.
