They were given a demonstration on how to clean dirty, muddy contaminated water using P&G Purifier of water. One packet of the Purifier cleaning around 10 litres of water, which is enough for a family for at least 12 hours.
The women showed keen interest in the demonstration and hands on training of the women was done in which the mothers of young children personally took a very interest.
Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla-child Specialist in Karachi herself explained the procedure to the women.
The families were provided with water coolers, buckets, cloth and ladle. In addition, each family was provided 120 packets of Purifier, so that a supply of clean drinking water was ensured for 4 months. HOPE- Health NGO in Pakistan strives to provide preventive health services at all levels.
