COMMENTS by a lady: A 95 years old lady of the village remarked “I am thankful to these unknown people who got us water, that was right under our feet. I spent all my youth bringing water from one Km down the hill on my head thus travelling 2 Kms for every pitcher.  It was most agonizing part of my life and of the life of all the ladies of these 20 families that live here. My youth cannot be brought back but our children will be spared of this donkey work. Our men have been so callous to our agony, they could have pool resources for collective good but they never came out of their petty differences, jealousy and distrust. They never cared for us, the women, who are their mothers, sisters and daughters. May Allah bless all those who took part in this work.”

38. Water supply scheme for Village Bagla, District Abbottabad, Pakistan. (This locality is on top of a mountain and people are generally shepherds)

39. Uswa College Islamabad:- situated in rural Islamabad, Uswa college is a prime institution offering quality education mostly to the students of backward areas of Pakistan. The college has been established and is being run by Jabir bin Hayyan Trust Islamabad. College is drawing its intake from the backward classes and areas where our community is in majority but poor and below poverty line. The college has been able to show excellent results at matriculation level during the last two years.

The total GPA of the college was 5.42; the highest compared all the institutions whose students appeared in the Federal Board’s Matriculation Examination. 95% of the students belong to our community and are hopes of our future. The college campus is spread over 4 Acres of land. Water Tower of such a complex has been estimated at cost of 7 Million. Present arrangements do not meet even the drinking water needs of the students.

College does not have sufficient funds to accomplish the envisaged project of constructing a water tower costing 7 Million and it may take years to get such a donation for water supply scheme for the Campus. To provide immediate relief to 300 students of ages 10-15 years, living in the hostel, we have thought of providing them water storage Tanks.

These will meet the needs for drinking water and washing / bathing facilities of the hostel block and cooking arrangements in the Mess. The most economical way of making college, self sufficient in this crucial area is to provide fiberglass water tanks of the capacity of 1800 gallons * 4 tanks costing about Rs 62000 each. College has the well and an underground water tank. The requirement is the storage capacity of 7200 gallons water and two motor pumps to lift the water to the fifth floor. The total estimated cost is amount PKR 377,220.00

40. Village JHAMAT (District Attock):- with over 5000, population has 25% Shia community. There used to be a Government provided water scheme providing water through an 11 km long pipeline. This pipeline is damaged and blocked for last 6 months. It needs digging and repairs the places at faulty spots. The total estimated cost is amount PKR 60,000.00

41. Tube Well for Irrigation in 700 families in Qalay Ghulam, Afghanistan

Background of the Area
Qalay Ghulam in Nawabad is in the Ghazni province. As with most parts of Afghanistan, the landscape of these areas are mostly mountainous and with very little vegetation. Presently, many families cannot farm due to the ongoing drought and the very few families that are able to farm are those that can afford to install small water well and construct small irrigation canals to their crops. This is not the best method as only very small portion of the farm land can be irrigated resulting in a reduced or poor harvest.

Most of the land in these area are family owned and approximately 700 families have 4 yakat* of land to farm. An average family is made up of 14-20 people with brothers living together with their families.

(*1 yakat =43,600 sq.ft)

The crops grown in Afghanistan are:

With the three main crops in this area being: wheat, beans and potato.

The farming season starts in March through to September with all of the family working on the farm. This usually starts with planting the wheat and barley then vegetables and fruits and this sequence is so that the rain fed grains are harvested first as they are irrigated by the melting snow.

Total cost of the Project GB£ 15,710.00

42 & 43. Two Hand Water Pumps: Deibah, Syedabad and Qoreach, Nahoor, Ghazni Province, Afghanistan

The areas to benefit from this project are Nahoor and Syedabad districts both in the Ghazni province. These are areas where we have been approached for assistance by community representatives. In Nahoor there are about six villages that desperately need water and in Syedabad there are two. Most of the families in these areas have to walk about 2 hours to get water in sheep skin for family use. The lack of clean and safe water in these areas has resulted in the children suffering from diarrhoea and other water borne diseases.

Below are the names of the villages, the average number of families and the recommended number of wells per village.

The cost and size of the hand water pumps depend on the size and geography of the area. According to the water engineer’s reports, these wells are guaranteed to last about 20 years and the hand pumps can also last an average of 20 years depending on usage and maintenance. We would expect the communities to maintain and pay for any spare parts in the future and the local community management committees to ensure proper use of the pumps.

Total Cost of the Project GB£ 1,200.00

44; 45; 46; 47 and 48 Hand Pumps at Bariki, Nahoor, Afghanistan

Bariki, Nahoor:
Bariki is a remote town located in Nahoor a district of Ghazni province. It falls about 50 miles west of Ghazni city, although there are no roads it can be reached by car taking approximately two and half hours. The population of Bariki is approximately 2,800 families.

Total Cost of the Project GB£ 2,400.00

49 and 50 Hand Pump at Baglah, Syedabad, Afghanistan

Baglah, Syedabad:
Baglah is a remote village located in Syedabad a district of Ghazni province. It falls about 60 miles west of Ghazni city, although there are no concreted roads it can be reached by car taking approximately three hours.

Total Cost of the Project GB£ 1,200.00

51 Masjid Aal-e-Imran Water Supply Project

Location :
The village Hasil is located in District Chakwal on the right bank of Sawan River at distance of 80 kilometres from Rawalpindi.

Population:
The village has approximately a total population of 25,000. Both communities enjoy very cordial relations.

Total Cost of the Project GB£ 680.00

Socio-economic conditions:
Agriculture based economy. Land holdings are very small. Three to four acres of land is held by the farmers. No irrigation system exists. Depend on seasonal rains for irrigation of lands.
In absence of water supply system few families have dug in tube wells Remaining population is dependent on these four to five wells for their daily needs.
There is one mosque and Hussaineyah, located side by side which do not have any source of water and are dependent on community in the neighbourhood. Sweet water is available but at depth of 300 feet. There is a need of independent source of water supply to meet the needs of mosque and Hussaineyah. If a tube well is sponsored locals are ready to meet the cost of electricity.

52. BIBI SAKINA WATER SUPPLY PROJECT WAHALI (District Chakwal), Pakistan
There is one "Mohallah" (Settlement) in the village consisting of 15 families of Saadat. This Mohallah has only one manually operated well. The wealthy people in the Mohallah have installed electric motors on the well and laid pipeline to their houses for getting consumable water. The Saadat families are comparatively poor and cannot afford that. 
The female of Saadat family wear veils (full Hijab) when they come out of their homes.  
These women in Hijab have to walk long distance through streets and bazaars to fetch water on their heads. This is highly degrading. By providing one well/bore for saadat will ease out the problem. 
These places have been selected based on providing relief to communities suffering from shortage of drinking water and presence of our own community in these areas. However, other communities will also benefit from these projects and will promote good will between them.

Total Cost of the Project GB£ 1,440.00
