What the need of water looked in Khipro Village:
There was no facility of water for school children and mostly families had hand-pump in their home. Students were facing difficulties to accessing water because they don’t have the facility of drinking water nearby school. Students would have to go home for drinking water so mostly students won’t back to school after they reached home. Now the school has own hand-pump supported by PEP and students are happy and pleased to have a hand-pump in the school.
How People In Rural Sindh Make Their Living:
Pritam Menghwar is a big colony and also nearby to Khipro city. The total population of the colony is 655. Mostly peoples are farmer and very few people have some shop in the Khipro city some are business men and some work on daily wages and also villagers kept livestock.
80% houses are made with cement and bricks and 20% houses are constructed with mud brick and roof with bamboo. Government is not actively work in the village they don’t have government school or any government hospital in their village. They only source of development they have in their village is PEP school. This village is 1 KM away from nearest big city Khipro. 90% of the villagers of this village are uneducated and now every child is getting education from PEP school.
The well dedication:
45 people attended the well dedication ceremony. PEP area coordinator Mr. Aatam Dass give a short briefing about the project and share the benefits of having hand-pump nearby the school.
Expressions of appreciation by the villagers:
I am very happy to have a hand pump in the school and students can easily drink water without leaving a school, we don’t have good facility of drinking water for school children before this project. Now the students don’t have to leave the school from drinking water and also don’t waste their school time.

They can drink water easily in the school and their attendance ratio is also improved because of this project."By Teacher of School.
I am very grateful to PEP and CBN for the support in the shape of hand-pump they installed in our village.

All the parents are very happy now their children come home when the school closed and their progress is also good as compare to before the project.By the Women Empowerment Group Facilitator, Miss Gudi.
