Effective community-based Water Purification System for use in developing and disaster areas!

Water for Life...

Comes down from mountains - the most beautiful of God’s creations, speaks the language understood by all – it is the refresher of the world. Today, one person in five across the world has no access to save drinking water.Everyday; more than 30,000 children die worldwide before reaching their fifth birthday, killed either by hunger or by easily preventable disease. Situation in Pakistan is even worse and will be severe in next 25 years as it is among the areas to be hit hard by water scarcity and flood. Women and children walk almost 8 miles a day for a few liters of drinking water available for the whole family. There are certainly harder facts that are untold or probably cannot be told. We are here to adjust our sails because fresh water is rare. So….

Let’s treat water, let‘s conserve water.

The Facts

The mortality rate for children under-five in Pakistan is 101 deaths per 1000 children. Water and sanitation related diseases are responsible for 60% of the total number of child mortality cases in Pakistan, with diarrheal diseases estimated at killing over 20,000 under-five years' children, every year. The combination of unsafe water consumption and poor hygiene practices causes hardship due to resultant high costing treatments for water borne illnesses, decreased working days, and also contributes to lowering of educational achievement due to reduced school attendance by children. But despite pledges of tens of millions of dollars, concerns remained that only a fraction of the 3.2 million people affected by the flash floods and landslides could access aid. A UNICEF spokesman said that few victims were within reach of help. “That's because access is limited in many areas. Many areas remain isolated. The real needs are uncertain because of the magnitude of the floods. Up to 1,500 people have died and the livelihoods of farmers in the rural northwest have been destroyed in the worst floods in 80 years. The United Nations said around 980,000 people had lost their homes or been temporarily displaced, at least a million needed emergency help and tens of thousands were at risk of disease.

Gift of Water

of water is an initiative aimed at providing safe water to the nearly ten million effected people who lack access to safe drinking water. Access to safe water is limited. The water is collected rain or river water. This will not remove the dirt, bacteria, parasites and deadly E-coli from the water supply. The risk of major infectious diseases, such as bacterial diarrhea, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, dengue fever, malaria and leptospirosis is high. Due to excess flooding especially in the Punjab, Sindh and Khyber provinces, the open toilets to over flow causing even more disease to flow into their water source.

Project Description

The KPF (Kontel Purification Fund) Pakistan for providing Safe Drinking Water Project is implemented by MyPain Clinic and Kontel Technologies USA Inc. through CBI and its allied partners. The project will help in providing technical assistance and hardware for safe drinking water. The project will involve activities in selected areas / districts of four Provinces of Pakistan, including Flood and earthquake affected areas of Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, FATA and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K).

The overall goal and objectives of the KPF (Kontel Purification Fund) Pakistan is to provide mobile water purification systems for flood and earthquake affected populations and to prevent them from major infectious diseases. We can also design and built drinking water purification systems for any national and international NGO’s and install at any effected site across the country.

MyPain Clinic and Kontel Technologies USA Inc. jointly announced the launch of a major relief campaign in state of Georgia USA focused on the "prevention of water-borne disease and illnesses" among the flood-affected population. Water-borne diseases have become a major threat for people directly affected by the floods. Supplying clean drinking water in bottles often involves logistical complications – hence, KPF has opted for a more practical alternative based on which, a mobile water purification systems produced by Kontel Technologies / CBI for free installation at flood affected population. These systems will be installed in the most severely affected areas. Mr. Khalique U Rehman, MD MyPain Clinic announced the establishment of a KPF (Kontel Purification Fund) where people can make instant contributions through a telephone call or by authorizing payment through check, wire or credit card.
