Description
COMMUNITY PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CPI
StartDate
12/01/2023
EndDate

WorkingArea
One hundred hand pumps were installed in District Toba Tek Singh, central Punjab, specifically in Union Council 26 (ج-ب) and villages 397 and 398. Toba Tek Singh was formerly part of Faisalabad, becoming a separate district in 1982. The project aimed to: assess the drinking water needs of vulnerable communities in the targeted villages; identify 100 beneficiary households; and construct 100 hand pumps at their homes. Villagers in Chak #397 and 398 previously walked long distances daily to collect water for themselves and their livestock. The hand pumps address this need by providing access to fresh water, assessed through needs assessment, beneficiary identification and installation of hand pumps. The project outcomes were the assessment of immediate drinking water needs, identification of 100 beneficiaries for hand pump installation, and provision of clean drinking water to those families. To promote environmental sustainability, the beneficiaries were encouraged to plant 3-5 trees per hand pump, with plans to implement this during the next spring planting season. Hand pumps were installed in suitable locations and in an organized manner to minimize environmental disturbance.
