Introduction

Access to clean and safe water is a basic human right. Our handpumps installation initiative aims to provide communities with a sustainable source of pure and clean water. By ensuring easy access to safe drinking water, we contribute to improved health and sanitation, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases. 

The Smol Box has successfully installed handpumps and water coolers in Al-Maktab school, madrassas and also arbitrarily. We believe that this project is very accommodating considering Lahore’s scorching heat. People need water to hydrate themselves and stay cool.

Installing handpumps and placing water coolers is a transformative initiative that addresses critical needs for communities, particularly in areas where access to clean water is limited or unreliable. These installations play a vital role in improving health, enhancing education, and fostering community well-being. Barack Obama says, ‘Without regard to whether some place is wealthy or poor, everybody should have the chance at clean air and clean water.’

Mission

Improving Health and Hygiene: Handpumps and water coolers provide communities with consistent access to clean and safe drinking water. By reducing the reliance on contaminated water sources, these installations directly contribute to lowering the incidence of illnesses related to poor water quality. Clean water availability promotes better hygiene practices such as handwashing, reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases and improving overall health outcomes. This is especially impactful in schools and communities where hygiene education coupled with access to clean water.

Enhancing Educational Opportunities: In schools and educational institutions, access to clean water is crucial for creating a conducive learning environment. Students no longer have to spend valuable time fetching water from distant and often unsafe sources. Instead, they can focus on their studies and participate more fully in school activities, leading to improved attendance rates and academic performance. The water coolers are strategically placed where student traffic is most, and the area is accessible.

Promoting Community Development: The installation of handpumps and water coolers fosters community development by empowering local residents. Community members are involved in the planning, installation, and maintenance of these facilities, which builds skills and strengthens community cohesion. Moreover, the presence of reliable water sources enhances the overall quality of life and encourages economic activities by saving time previously spent on water collection.

Sustainability and Long-Term Impact: Efforts to install handpumps and water coolers often include training programs on maintenance and repair. This capacity-building ensures the sustainability of the installations, empowering communities to manage and safeguard their water resources independently. Regular maintenance schedules are established to keep the coolers in optimal working condition. Local technicians or experts are often employed to ensure the installation meets safety and regulatory standards and is sustainable.

Humanitarian and Social Impact: Beyond the practical benefits, installing handpumps and water coolers represents a humanitarian commitment to improving the lives of marginalized and underserved populations. Access to clean water is a basic human right, and these installations play a pivotal role in fulfilling this right, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, women, and the elderly.

Impact and Success Stories
