‘Help Provide Clean Water for Christian Colony’

 

 

Introduction

The issue of water shortage exists across the world with every region having its own peculiar set of challenges. This acute challenge drives The Lady Fatemah (AS) Charitable Trust to continue with its ‘Bibi Sakina (AS) water project, which aims to provide clean water on a high priority basis to communities deprived of water supply across the developing world.

7,911 Cataract Patients received this gift since the start of the Project in Kashmir and Pakistan (June 2007 to March 2012)

It costs only GBP 15.00 per one cataract surgery

 

Cataract is an eye condition that is easily treatable by a simple operation performed on an outpatient basis. Prognosis after surgery is excellent with 90 % of patients regaining their vision without complications.  Why then is cataract still the leading cause of blindness worldwide, and especially in developing countries? The reason, dear LFT donors, is the prevalence of abject poverty in many parts of the world.

 

In May 2012, the Humanitarian Relief Society, a Palestinian NGO working in the West Bank, applied to LFT and its donors for water refrigerators for the camp’s boys’ school. Arroub camp is a refugee camp housing Palestinian refugees who were forced to leave their home villages in 1948. At present, 1284 families live in the camp, a total of 9000 people. Conditions are extremely crowded with only 40 square meters per person. The average family comprises seven members. Job opportunities are scarce and the main income of most families is the food ration UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, distributes to needy families. UNRWA also runs two schools in the camp that provide primary and intermediate education. Due to constant shortage of funds, the schools can offer only the most basic facilities.
