Waterborne diseases are 80% of our diseases and cause 33% of deaths in our country*
To address this problem we give potable water to children of government schools and to underprivileged families of children of Zoya schools.
This we do by digging wells to 120-150 ft and installing hand pumps (simplest/most commonly used technology with the least moving parts so there is little/no maintenance).
Expense, so far, is Rs 6.6 million given in 84 donations.
For example, Ms. Sohailia Yusuf’s contribution of Rs 100,000.
Rs 19,270 to Rs 22,400 is the present cost of digging the tube well (120 feet) and installing a hand pump.
