Story
844 million people lack basic drinking water access, that is more than 1 out of every 10 people on the planet. Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours hauling water every day.
It is in our coming together that we can make a life changing difference. We may never meet the one who drinks this clean water but just imagine the joy and smiles on their faces when they drink clean water for the first time.

Your donation will contribute towards the construction of a Smart Village in one of the most deprived areas in the world, Tharpakar in Sindh, Pakistan, the 5th largest desert in the world.
These villages have not had access to clean water for almost 200 years. Women and young children take up to several hours a day, in the blazing heat, to collect water from open contaminated wells. This same water leads to the deaths of thousands of children in Tharpakar.
The integrated village will also have:
- Water supply lines extended to the doorstep of the villager’s homes,
- Solar powered lights throughout the village,
- Purpose built toilet facilities,
- Agricultural tools and climate smart agricultural seeds,
- Farming training and support to grow local vegetables, establishing domestic kitchen gardens to meet nutritional & dietary needs, saving hundreds of lives from malnutrition each year,
- A pair milking goats for any widowed women,Livestock management training,Vaccinations and deworming of all existing livestock.
I am inviting you to take up 350 shares available. In return have your name or the name of a loved one included on the sadaqa jaariya plaque that will be attached to the well. Multiple shares are welcome. Please remember to include the name you would like on the plaque in the message box of your donation.
