The situation of our village Ali Khan Khaskheli has been made more horrible due to cyclone 2003 and heavy rains of 2010, 2011 and 2012 and time to time breaches in LBOD, which badly affecting the overall drinking water sources, such as water ponds, hand pumps, water courses, well and water tanks either become contaminated or become dysfunctional and therefore unable to provide clean and safe drinking water to its regular users. The un-availability/access to clean drinking water further increases problems particularly for children, elderly and other vulnerable members i.e. women and girls of family.
Before installation of Hand Pump, the situation was worse in our village specially women who use to fetch water for drinking as well as rest of chores i.e. water for washing utensils, cloths and other. Because, before installation of Hand Pump in the village, all women and girls were fetching water from water courses and open water ponds situated at distance of more than 1000 meters, neither this water was clean nor near to homes. Through the installation of Hand Pump, the village women and girls have no need to spent more time as well as travel to fetch water which takes at least 3 hours in a day.
With thanks to GlobalGiving’s on line fundraising with genius support of international and national philanthropists, we are able to save time and travel for fetching drinking water and general use in a day.
We would submit the GlobalGiving and the Philanthropists to continue their great support.
