Once your Hand Pump is installed in 6 to 9 months, you will receive a completion report of your hand pump with location and pictures. You can also choose a name (max 25 characters) for the plaque on the hand pump.
One-third of the world’s population, approximately 2.3 billion people, lack access to clean drinking water. This staggering statistic translates to millions of individuals forced to consume contaminated water, risking their lives to deadly diseases. Vulnerable communities bear the brunt of this crisis.
The burden of fetching clean water falls disproportionately on women and children, who embark on perilous journeys, often walking miles daily. This exhausting task steals precious time from their lives, depriving them of opportunities to thrive, learn, and grow. In 2016, UNICEF reported that women and girls collectively spend 200 million hours daily collecting water – a staggering testament to the scale of this issue.
A donation to provide clean water is one of the most impactful charitable acts you can make. Your contribution can help transform lives, alleviate suffering, and empower communities to break free from the shackles of water scarcity.
At Pearl Action Aid Foundation (PAAF), our water projects are designed to provide clean water to vulnerable and impoverished communities, for years to come. We seek to provide long-term solutions to water scarcity in a world that is increasingly affected by water scarcity and climate change.
With your water donation, we strive to promote health and safety with fresh water supplies, and stop women and children having to walk for miles each day to collect water, by building hand pumps.
We also promote hygiene and raise awareness about sanitation and staying healthy within communities by working closely with the communities we are serving.
Clean water means people always have water to wash their hands and themselves, as well as kitchen utensils when cooking, helping to stop the spread of disease and illness.
The risks of Covid-19 and other diseases could somewhat be managed with the ability to wash hands and sanitise. Each water donation provides water to families for drinking, washing, cleaning and cooking.
With your water donation, children from remote regions who would usually spend the day searching for water are now able to attend school seeking knowledge and developing, moving closer to fulfilling their dreams.
Mothers are united with their families who would typically walk for miles every day in search of water. All of whom are now protected from water-borne diseases which is the root problem for majority of all illnesses in the third world countries. Your water donation truly helps saves lives and transforms communities.
