Water Projects
According to UNICEF, 884 million people in the world do not have access to safe water. This is about one out of eight people in the world.
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.4 million children die every year as a result of diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. This amounts to around 4,000 deaths a day or one every 20 seconds.
Pakistan, like many other developing countries is confronted with the same problem – availability of safe drinking water. Almost 50 percent of Pakistanis lacked assess to clean drinking water. In many parts of the country, there is also the problem of water scarcity. According to Pakistan Social & Living Standards Measurement Survey 2010-11, conducted by the Government of Pakistan, 6% of the rural population depends on low quality water sources including dug wells, rivers, streams, canals, ponds etc. for fulfilling their drinking water requirements.
Realizing the need and importance of clean drinking water, Team Karachi initiated a number of water projects. After formal surveys and understanding the land, it was realized that it some locations normal hand pumps were sufficient, while in other locations deep hand pumps and in certain cases solar summer pumps with water tanks are proposed to meet the water requirements. Costs of the pumps vary in Sindh and Punjab based on the depth of availability of water.
