APPNA Water Project

Groundwater contamination remains a critical public health issue in many regions of Pakistan, where elevated arsenic concentrations, microbials, and excessively high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) render local water sources unsafe for consumption. Unfortunately, the lack of safe alternatives compels these communities—particularly vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly—to often rely on contaminated water, leading to significant health risks. According to some reports, about 80% of the population does not have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Since its inception in 2015 under the leadership of Liaquat Alumni, the APPNA Water Project has made substantial progress in addressing water scarcity and improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of people—as well as their livestock—across underserved regions of Pakistan.

Over the past decade, the project has implemented a wide range of sustainable water-access solutions. These include the installation of an 8-km water pipeline, hand-operated water pumps, brick-lined wells, solar-powered water filtration plants, and solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) filtration facilities. In addition to these efforts, the APPNA Water Project has initiated the installation of water filtration plants in government schools across multiple regions of Pakistan, with the goal of enhancing access to safe drinking water for schoolchildren and their communities. Insha’Allah this project will continue with your generous support.
