Pur Water Purifier Demonstration at Muzaffargarh

Muzaffargarh is a city in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. Located on the bank of the Chenab River, it is the capital of the district with the same name. It is the 39th largest city of Pakistan by population

Muzaffargarh features an arid climate with very hot summers and mild winters. The city has experienced some of the most extreme weather in Pakistan. The highest recorded temperature was approximately 54 °C 

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 to the local communities of the area and provided them with the purifying kits along with P&G Pur sachets.

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 Specialist in Karachi and the 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.
