Water For Life
The provision of clean and safe drinking water in drought-affected areas for underprivileged communities, has become a major challenge for Pakistan. IRM has successfully addressed the challenge of access to safe and clean drinking water in the vicinity of IRM Smart Schools, where portable water was previously scarsce and difficult to obtain. Access to water remained low as Pakistan had ranked 140 out of 180 countries in water and sanitation on the Environmental Performance Index. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a human story etched in every water scarcity area.
IRM constructed hand pumps to fight safe drinking water scarcity. In drought-affected areas of Pakistan, accessing clean safe drinking water is one of the biggest challenges faced by communities. To ensure water is safe for drinking, IRM carries out water quality tests through the Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR).
Entire communities in Pakistan have little choice but to suffer the effects of waterborne diseases because they have no other options when it comes to drinking water. Sadly, around 40% of all deaths in Pakistan are due to drinking contaminated water. We’re setting up water pumps throughout Pakistan’s most impoverished communities to put an end to this water crisis and keep Pakistani families happy and healthy. These water pumps are installed after water testing. As a pilot four water pumps have been installed in the vicinity of Hyderabad, Sindh Pakistan. Our hand pump project have been gaining popularity due to its cost effectiveness. Your help and donation can help to quench the thirst of millions.
