Community Development
Community-led projects such as water, sanitation and shared facilities, designed to last after outside support has ended.
Some problems cannot be solved one household at a time. Clean, safe drinking water is one of them.
We install hand pumps, wells and water treatment in remote villages of interior Sindh, including schools and the most deprived areas. One survey found a severe water crisis among tribal communities living on the bank of the Indus near Hyderabad.
A project moves ahead only when the community has helped plan it and has agreed how it will be looked after.
Objectives
- Install hand pumps and wells in villages without safe water
- Reach remote schools and the most deprived communities
- Agree maintenance arrangements before work starts
- Check that water points keep working after installation
