KORT CLEAN WATER PROJECT - AZAD KASHMIR

Our beloved Prophet peace be upon him said, The best charity is giving water to drink. (Ahmad)

Unsafe water is the single biggest obstacle to the health of communities in the developing world. When people are denied access to clean water their hygiene and health suffer. Poor hygiene means children get sick and miss school. Small children are especially vulnerable to cholera and diarrheal illnesses, and unsafe water compromises their immune systems making it difficult for them to fight illnesses.

With your help, we can bring clean water to rural communities in Azad Kashmir, giving them safe water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, water for their crops and animals, and the chance to break out of the poverty cycle.

You can donate any amount towards this project or £5,250 to gift one full Water Filtration Plant.

Water extracted through cheaper methods such as hand pumps is often contaminated. It carries a lot of bacteria and is not always safe to drink putting lives at risk.

Compared to hand pumps, the construction of a Water Filtration Plant involves:

- Digging a bore up to 150ft deep to access clearer water

- A 10ft x 10ft room on the surface which contains the actual filtration plant that filters and cleans the water before it reaches the taps making it safe to drink

- Multiple taps on the outside so multiple people can access clean water all at the same time

Once construction work is complete, the maintenance responsibility of the Water Filtration Plants will be given to the local Mosques in the areas.
