Drinking water access
Background
The RO Filtration Plant was originally installed by the Sindh Government in 2014 but stopped functioning by 2017 due to poor maintenance and an underpowered system. As a result, the local community was forced to rely on contaminated and high-salinity water. In 2021, CFWO restored the abandoned plant and revived its operations to provide safe drinking water.
Overview
The RO Plant Project ensures free and reliable access to clean drinking water for communities in Tharparkar. The 40 kW solar-powered filtration plant, implemented by CFWO in collaboration with Farishta Foundation, serves over 100 villages. Water is drawn from 750-feet borehole and purification through a fourstage filtration and RO system. The project currently benefits around 14,000 people daily and has supplied an estimated 4.2 million liters of clean water, making it a vital and often the only source of safe drinking water for thousands of families.
