Waves For Water

 

Project Pakistan // Phase II

Project Overview

This month marks the anniversary of the devastating floods in Pakistan

Pakistan’s floods of Summer 2010 were rated by the United Nations as the greatest humanitarian crisis that the UN has ever faced. And although it measured such magnitude, the disaster went largely unnoticed by the international community.

The UN expressed concern that aid was not arriving fast enough, and the World Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to drink unsafe water.

Pakistan needs help. Project Pakistan will provide 6000 filtration systems in its first phase, to flood victims across the country. This translates to over 60,000 people getting access to clean water.

The Waves For Water Response: We overlooked the politics and the threats and focused on the human crisis. Within a month, we raised funds, shipped water filtration systems, and arrived in Pakistan to find partners in country to combine efficiencies for optimizing distribution of clean water to those in need.
