HandpumpMillions of people in Afghanistan are forced to drink unsafe water, exposing families to deadly diseases like cholera and typhoid. Women and children often walk miles each day to fetch water, risking their safety and missing school.
Hand pumps provide families with a reliable source of clean water by drawing it from safer underground levels. This allows communities to drink, cook, wash and meet daily needs without relying on unsafe surface water.
By installing a hand pump, families are protected from waterborne disease and given a practical, long term water solution that works even in remote, off grid areas.
