With the support of our partners, we are working on:
providing safe drinking water through water trucking to eliminate the chances of diseases caused by drinking unsafe water
disinfection of water sources and drainage of flood water
rehabilitation of water supply schemes.
In Rajanpur (Punjab), WaterAid through its partner Doabba Foundation has provided 222 thousand of litres of clean drinking water to 7,700 people through water tankers. The quality of the water provided was tested through a laboratory and deemed as fit for drinking. The same number of users have also received jerry cans for household water storage.
In Badin (Sindh), WaterAid is working through its partner organisation LHDP on disinfection of drinking water sources affected by the floods. Through disinfecting and chlorinating the 50 water sources, WaterAid will be able to improve access to clean drinking water for over 13,000 people in the flood affected communities.
In Swat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), WaterAid is working through its partner organisation IDEA on improved access to sufficient water of appropriate quality and quantity for drinking, cooking and maintaining personal hygiene for 3,600 people. The target will be achieved through rehabilitating and restoring three water supply schemes which were damaged due to the floods.
