About this project

The project will provide about 5000 people living in one of the largest Afghan refugee settlements in H-12 Sector Islamabad, Pakistan with an access to safe and clean drinking water through the dissemination of cost-effective portable off-grid hollow fibre based water filters and through the construction of 2 new boreholes. The new boreholes will be constructed to solve the water shortage problem of refugee community which currently relies on the water supply from already operational hand operated borehole (depth: 90 ft.) and three wells (depth: 35-45 ft.). The refugee households will be provided with new Jerry cans to in order to store and filter water for the drinking purposes. Refugees will be trained for proper usage and maintenance of filters.
