Mesmerizing mountains, fast flowing rivers, streams and beautiful fruit trees, all together make Kashmir a natural wonderland. But despite all this magnificence, the people of Kashmir are deprived of a lot of blessings and rights that they deserve. One of the major problems of Muzaffarabad is the accessibility of clean drinking water in the area of Dhani Baklan, Hatryan Bala.
HOPE - An NGO in Pakistan, has assigned a team specifically
for this project who visit different slum areas of Pakistan to distribute water
purifying kits and sachets along with the demonstration on how it is prepared
and on how to use it correctly. The team visits areas where the population is
deprived of clean drinking water. Each family is provided a purifying kit that
consists of:
· Cooler
· Bucket
· Muslin Cloth
· Spatula
· Pur sachets
Last week team HOPE visited Muzaffarabad where clean drinking
water is not easily accessible. Hence, the team gave a demonstration tothe
local communities of the area and provided them with the purifying kits that
consisted of above-mentioned items.
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.
Under the leadership of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Cpecialist
in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE.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.
