Qatar Charity (QC) implemented various water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) projects in Pakistan’s Sindh province this year, benefitting 27,550 people.
The implementation of the WASH projects comes as part of QC’s continued efforts to contribute in addressing the water problem and providing safe drinking water to the vulnerable in the province.
QC also installed 140 hand pumps in the province’s two districts, Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin, to provide 13,500 people with safe drinking water. It also constructed 46 sanitation facilities, along with an ablution area in both districts where nearly 7,000 individuals benefitted from these interventions.
In addition, QC also installed 23 solar water pumps for the use of 7,150 individuals in these two districts, as well as the Umarkot district.
“Qatar Charity is working at the grass-root level to meet the basic needs of the community, school, and health facilities,” said Badin’s Deputy Commissioner Hafeez Ahmed Siyal, lauding QC’s efforts in implementing WASH and livelihood projects. He also indicated that the governmental bodies will fully co-operate with QC to facilitate the implementation of its various projects.
Badin’s Social Welfare Department deputy director Abdul Gaffar Khoso applauded QC for playing a vital role in providing safe and clean drinking for the poorest community in the Sindh province.
Since the 2010-2011 flood emergency in the Sindh Province, QC has actively been implementing many projects such as emergency, early recovery, reconstruction, WASH, and livelihood projects.
QC expanded its interventions in districts of Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin, where many people suffer from poor economic conditions, lack of livelihood opportunities, no safe drinking water, and poor infrastructure. Due to the unavailability of safe drinking water, these people face malnutrition, high infant mortality rate.
QC, through its Pakistan office, signed two contracts with Unicef in April to implement two WASH projects for the benefit of nearly 1mn people in the provinces of Punjab and Baluchistan over the period of two years. Both WASH projects are being implemented at a cost of QR12mn.
