Completed Water Treatment Project

2021

Basti Raqba Nabi Shah

District Rajanpur

Underground water of the village (Basti Raqba Nabi Shah) is brine and not suitable for drinking purpose. Local people travel around 5-14 kms daily to get water for drinking. In May (2021), with the help of our donors, Al-Qalam has installed water filtration plant in the village. The filtration plant converts around 20,000 liters of brackish water into clean drinkable water daily. The plant costed around 1 million rupees that was kindly donated by our donors.

20,000 L/day

Masjid Allah Wali

District Rajanpur

In this village, there was only one hand pump installed which was used by the community to meet their daily water demand. The power quality at the village does not let electric water pump to run. Al-Qalam, with the help of its donors, replaced the hand pump with the electric water pump which is powered by the solar, installed the water storage tank, built hozzi and installed water taps to improve the water availability for the community. This project cost around 225,000 rupees.

Solar-powered

Chowk Allah Rakha, Pull Dhundi

District Rajanpur

Underground water of the village is brine and electric power quality is poor. Al-Qalam, with the help of their donors, drilled ground (for about 300 feet) to access the water. Trust has installed the electric pump (powered through solar), installed the water storage, built hozzi, and installed water taps to improve the water access for the community. The project costs around 250,000 rupees.

However, water quality is still categorized as brackish and not fit for drinking purpose. Al-Qalam is planning to install water filtration plant to make water fit for the drinking purpose. The estimate of water filtration plant is 800,000 rupees. We call our donors to donate in this noble purpose and earn sadqa jaria by donating money for the project.

Future filtration plant planned — estimated cost: 800,000 PKR. Donations welcome!

Village Shadi Shaheed

District Khairpur Mirs, Sindh

District Khairpur Mirs is situated in the north eastern region of Sindh and was among the worst affected areas during the flooding that occurred last year (i.e. 2022). In 2023, we decided to install a water filtration plant for the community in the same region (i.e. village of Shadi Shaheed in the Khairpur Mirs district, Sindh). Village of Shadi Shaheed is home to approximately 3,000 people who do not have access to electric power and clean power. About 75% of the underground water in the village is brackish and saline, and the villagers travel a significant distance of approximately 5 km to obtain drinkable water. We installed RO plant (of capacity 1 ton that on average can filter 6,000 litres of water per day) and 5.5 Kw solar plant to power RO plant as no electric power is available in the area.

Basti Jaan Muhammad Abram

Rojhan, Rajanpur, Punjab

Basti Jaan Muhammad Abram, located in Chak Number 1 at Rojhan, Rajanpur, in the Punjab province of Pakistan, is a village facing severe water challenges. The underground water here is brackish, with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value of 5,000—over five times above the acceptable limit set by the World Health Organization (WHO). The village, home to approximately 2,000 residents, lacks basic infrastructure, including electricity and roads. Villagers must travel twelve kilometers to access drinkable water. In 2024, we decided to address this critical issue by installing a water filtration plant in the village. This installation includes construction of dedicated facility (room) where we installed plant, a Reverse Osmosis (RO) plant with a capacity of one ton, capable of filtering an average of 6,000 liters of water per day. Additionally, we installed a 5.5 kW solar plant to power the RO plant, as there is no electricity available in the area.
Water TDS was 5,000 — over 5× the WHO safe limit of 1,000.

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration Plant

Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Filtration Plant

With the generous support of our donors, Al-Qalam successfully installed a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filtration plant in Village Kotla Hasan Shah, Tehsil Rojhan, District Rajanpur in 2025.

This rural area faces significant challenges in accessing safe drinking water, with many households previously relying on contaminated or unsafe water sources. The installation of this filtration plant now provides clean and safe drinking water to approximately 1,600 residents of the village and surrounding areas.

The plant plays an important role in improving the health and wellbeing of the local community by reducing the risks associated with waterborne diseases and poor-quality drinking water.

Through this initiative, Al-Qalam continues its commitment to improving living conditions in underserved communities by providing sustainable access to clean drinking water.

Village Oteem Dahri, Sanghar

With the generous support of our donors, Al-Qalam successfully installed a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water desalination plant in Village Oteem Dahri, Sanghar, Sindh, Pakistan.
The local community has long faced challenges in accessing clean and safe drinking water, with many families relying on water sources that are often unsuitable for regular use. This newly installed RO plant now provides reliable access to purified drinking water for residents of the village and nearby areas.
The project will help improve the health and wellbeing of the community by reducing the risks associated with contaminated water and waterborne diseases. It also eases the daily burden on families who previously had to travel or depend on unsafe alternatives for drinking water.
Through this initiative, Al-Qalam continues its commitment to supporting underserved communities by providing sustainable access to clean drinking water and improving everyday living conditions
