HOPE & P&G : Clean Drinking Water For Flood Affectees Of Punjab

In  conjunction to the ration distribution and  medical camps / assistance was  provided to the flood affected and displaced families of Muzaffargarh, lower Punjab, HOPE an NGO in Pakistan,  simultaneously  continued its campaign of providing pure drinking water to  the flood affectees. 

 Although HOPE, a health oriented NGO, with assistance of its esteemed partner P&G, has relentlessly worked in rural areas of Sindh and Punjab to provide pure drinking water and thus safe-guard the health of the general population,  set up two stations in different locations to  demonstrate the usage of P&G’s purifier of water and to advise its short and long term  health-benefits.

It goes without saying that the one major reason for all kinds  of diseases rampant in rural Pakistan is because of dirty. contaminated and often toxic water that people are forced to consume. Healthy, pure, clean water is not accessible to them.

 This relief expedition  intiated by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist inKarachi and chairperson of HOPE, is of great importance as a large area and a vast population is targeted for not just providing emphasis and awareness of the health benefits of consuming pure, clean water and how this could save them from many life-threatening diseases but also provide them with demonstrations in proper use of P&G’s purifier of water  and proper filtration procedures. For demonstration and awareness two selected  areas with very large population were targeted  and proper use of the P&G water purifier sachets were explained in full details .

A very large number of water buckets, water coolers along with sachets of P&G’s purifier of water were distributed amongst the population free of charge, as per instructions and directions of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi.
