The grant will be utilized for the installation of seven filtration plants to provide clean and hygienic water to seven localities in five different cities in Punabincluding Lahore, Sheikhupura, Faisalabad, Sargodha and Multan. In those localities, water is not suitable for drinking because it is drawn from unsanitary groundwater. Consequently, residents in those areas, especially children and the elderly people, have high risk of facing health problems by drinking contaminated water. Filtration plants will be installed in schools and hospitals of the project areas. As a result, students, patients and also residents of those locations will be able to have access to clean and safe drinking water. This project would improve the health and sanitary condition of about 143,000 residents in the respective project areas. In addition to that, prevention of infection disease caused by pollutes water would lead to the reduction of the medical cost of the residents.
At the signing ceremony, The President of Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan Nimatullah Khan said that the provision of safe drinking water is of great importance for Al-Khidmat Foundation, this project would help to improve the living and sanitary conditions of the people in those areas. Furthermore, he hoped that this project would continue to further strengthen the existing friendly relations between the people of Pakistan and Japan.

AL-KHIDMAT FOUNDATION IN PERSPECTIVE:

Al-Khidmat is country’s leading welfare organization working for the last 60 years under transparent and audited systems and procedures and supervised by men of integrity.

Over the last 5-years we have provided Billions of rupees worth of cross cultural and regional humanitarian services including medicines, education grants, resident and non-resident clinical facilities, potable water facilities, schooling, model employment and specialized services for calamity affectees on non-political basis.

After series of discussions with effective people and by evaluating data primarily available in reports, Al-Khidmat Foundation Pakistan is coming up by taking decisive steps to organize people.

Keeping in mind that drinking water contaminated by human or animal faeces, which contain pathogenic micro-organisms, is the main cause of water borne diseases. We plan to install water filtration plants with R.O and without R.O and also ultra filtration plants in poor localities in each of the 113 districts of Pakistan, initially ten in each district, and thereafter in each Tehsil and the villages.
VISION STATEMENT:
“An Endeavor to provide healthy human environment by eradicating waterborne diseases”
Effects of Waterborne Diseases in Pakistan:

Pakistani citizens are paying high price for the pollution of their water supply

40,000 children in a year die from drinking contaminated or polluted water and 60% of infecting death are caused by water borne diseases
According to the SPARC (Society for Protection of Rights of the Child.

“Every 5th person in the country suffers from illness associated with pollution, and 40% of death in urban centres are caused by unsafe water”.
Huge amount of sewerage water is pumped into the rivers every day which is nearly 100 million gallons and about 10 million gallon only is treated.

47% of the population has no access to the safe drinking water

20 to 30% of the deaths in the country are causesd by the water borne diseases

84% of the rural population do not treat their drinking water

20 to 40% beds in hospitals are generally occupied by those patients who suffer from water borne diseases 

UNEP REPORT:

About 47% of the population has no access to safe drinking water

Water borne diseases account for 60% of infant deaths in the country and pollution contributes to the incidents of Cholera, Typhoid, Hepatitis, Diarrhea, Dyrestry, Yellow fever and Malaria
