Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet millions of people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water. Pakistan is one of the countries that face significant challenges in providing clean water to its population.
According to the United Nations, around 22 million people in Pakistan do not have access to safe drinking water, which is a significant public health concern.
Mehiel Foundation is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of communities in Pakistan by providing access to clean water. One of the ways we achieve this is through the installation and servicing of biosand water filtering systems.
Biosand filters are low-cost, low-tech systems that are designed to remove contaminants from water. These filters consist of a concrete or plastic container filled with layers of sand, gravel, and other materials that work together to remove impurities from water. As water passes through the filter, contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and sediment are trapped in the sand and gravel layers, leaving the water clean and safe to drink.
Our team of trained technicians installs and services these biosand filters in communities throughout Pakistan. We work closely with local partners and community leaders to identify areas where access to clean water is most needed. Once a location has been identified, our team assesses the site to determine the best location for the filter and ensures that the system is properly installed.
We also provide training and support to the community to ensure that they understand how to use and maintain the filter properly. Regular maintenance of the filter is essential to ensure that it continues to function effectively and provide clean water to the community.
Through our biosand water filtering systems, we have been able to provide clean water to thousands of people in Pakistan. We have seen firsthand the positive impact that access to clean water can have on communities, from improved health outcomes to increased economic opportunities.
At Mehiel Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves access to clean water. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that communities in Pakistan have access to safe, clean, and reliable sources of drinking water but in order to support more communities, we need your help.
Every biosand water filtering system costs around £170 and is enough to sustain up to 10 people. Please donate today to enable us to support more communities in need.
