Dear HOPE Friends,
HOPE Field Team Distributes P&G Clean Water Bundles to 400 Villagers in Remote Areas of Sindh, Pakistan
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide underserved communities with clean water , HOPE regularly hosts Procter & Gamble Purifier Sachet Demonstrations in rural villages and underserved areas throughout Pakistan .
On September 27th, 2024, families residing on Link Road (a rural, underdeveloped region in Sindh, Pakistan ) attended an interactive class addressing the importance of clean water (both with regards to consumption as well as preventing the spread of waterborne diseases) and were gifted Purifier kits to take home.
The HOPE Field Team met with members of the Link Road community to share knowledge about the necessity of consuming clean water and the immediate positive impact that sanitized water can have upon overall health . Each participant was given a purifying kit consisting of a cooler, bucket, muslin cloth, spatula and 120 sachets of P&G Purifiers of water, enough to last each family several months.
Transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, and polio is highly linked to contaminated water sources. Consuming sanitized water is an essential preventative tool for decreasing the spread of waterborne diseases, especially in marginalized communities which face multiple barriers to accessing healthcare.
A single P&G Purifier sachet removes harmful contaminants for 10 litersof contaminated water, thus making it suitable for consumption and cooking . Additionally, in comparison to other products on the market, P&G Purifier sachets leave no salty or sour aftertaste, thereby making it more likely that families will actually utilize them.
The HOPE Team is humbled to feature our long-standing partnership with Procter & Gamble, one in which we work together to promote clean water efforts via multiple outreach activities. In fact, this collaboration is so exceptional that we are the only non-governmental organization (NGO) to be given this honor by Procter & Gamble in Pakistan .
Many thanks to the P&G Team as well as our supporters for helping us better the lives of those living in abject poverty !
Warm regards,
The HOPE USA , HOPE UK , and HOPE Pakistan Teams
