Clean drinking water is an essential need of life and all other human rights. Water as a human right is as much about the quality as it is about access. However, there are many areas in Pakistan where clean drinking water in inaccessible

The United Nations considers universal access to clean water a basic human right, and an essential step towards improving living standards worldwide. Water-poor communities are typically economically poor as well, their residents trapped in an ongoing cycle of poverty. Keeping this in mind, HOPE a Health NGO in Pakistan in collaboration with Procter & Gamble is making clean water accessible by distributing P&G Purifier of Water sachets to the door steps of poor families.

Access to tap water is very low in the areas of Dadu and quality of drinking water remains substandard as the major sources are hand pumps and turbines supplying contaminated or brackish water to local populations.

HOPE - an NGO in Pakistan, has assigned a team specifically for this project who visit different slum areas. Recently HOPE Team visited Dadu, where they distributed water purifying kits and sachets along with the demonstration on how to use it correctly.  Each family is provided a purifying kit that consists of: Cooler, Bucket, Muslin Cloth, Spatula, 120 sachets.





Under the leadership of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla – A child specialist in Karachi, Hope strives its best to provide clean and hygienic drinking water to the areas, where clean and fresh water is not accessible.  The team has been working relentlessly to improve the lives of the people by creating awareness among them, about the benefits of safe drinking water.

The aim is to benefit the community while making clean water accessible for all, hence, reducing the morbidities especially among children. In addition, this will also provide opportunity to improve standards of living while improving health status.
