Sadly, around 40% of all deaths in Pakistan are due to drinking contaminated water.
GLOBALLY, 785 MILLION PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER.
AT LEAST 2 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD GET THEIR WATER FROM CONTAMINATED SOURCES.
DRINKING DIRTY WATER CAN CAUSE DISEASES SUCH AS CHOLERA, DYSENTERY, TYPHOID AND DIARRHOEA
DIRTY WATER IS THE CAUSE OF AROUND 485,000 DEATHS EVERY YEAR.
Each water filtration plant provides clean water every single day to an entire village of approximately 5,000 people!
Rural communities in Pakistan are the ones that suffer the most from contaminated water so, in order to help end the water crisis, we have set up water purification plants in impoverished areas throughout the country.
Water filtration plants use complex technology to thoroughly clean and de-contaminate dirty and unsafe water, resulting in clean and safe drinking water. Each water filtration plant provides clean water every single day to an entire village of approximately 5,000 people!
One water filtration plant costs £8,500. Please kindly Donate now towards our water filtration project in Pakistan.
Every donation made to our Water appeal helps transform communities and give them the precious gift of water. By helping us bring clean water to communities around the world, you are giving thousands of people the life they deserve one glass of water at a time.
To date, thanks to your support, we have built over 32 water filtration plants in Pakistan, providing clean water to tens of thousands of people! You can be part of this project by giving your generous donations. Together, we can put an end to this water crisis. Donate Now

At SKT Welfare, we aim to satisfy the growing demand for safe water in Pakistan, whilst reducing the environmental impact associated with it. This has been the driving force behind SKT Welfare’s new project, ‘Solar Powered Filtration Plants’. The filtration of groundwater requires energy which is typically supplied from fossil fuels, our solution is using solar power. This energy is sustainable and green, therefore reducing our carbon footprint and providing safe water in rural communities in Pakistan.
The Filtration Plant uses a water purification technology called reverse osmosis which uses a membrane to treat impure or contaminated water. In the reverse osmosis process, the water is passed through a thin membrane at very high pressure. The pressure causes the water to pass while filtering bigger molecules of impurities, salts, and minerals. This process requires a high energy input which can sometimes be difficult in countries such as Pakistan.
The development of a solar-powered filtration plant means that the energy needed for the process can be gained from the sun, resulting in a cheaper and more environmentally friendly solution for rural communities. The sun shines down onto the solar panels, which generate enough electricity to help run the plant and provide clean water for entire villages.
These solar-powered water filtration plants can operate throughout the day, removing almost 100% of the bacteria and impurities, thus making the water suitable for drinking, irrigation, cleaning, washing, and many other purposes.
Help the environment, help the community by providing a solar-powered filtration plant in Pakistan.
The cost of a solar-powered filtration plant is £10,000. Please kindly donate generously for this cause and together we can end this water crisis.

We’re setting up freshwater pumps throughout Pakistan’s most impoverished communities to put an end to this water crisis and keep Pakistani families happy and healthy. Our water pumps make it easier for local people to quickly and efficiently collect clean water for their families.
Hundreds of thousands of families in Pakistan need our help! £150 for a complete Hand Pump, can give a family access to safe, clean, and drinkable water right in their communities. Or set up a monthly contribution of just £10 a month and continue your support!
1. How much does one filtration plant cost?
A non-solar plant costs £8,500 and a solar plant costs £10,000.
2. How many people will benefit from the filtration plant?
A plant will benefit a community of 9,000 people on average.
3. What is the projected lifespan of the filtration plant?
A filtration plant will last between 10 to 15 years
4. Will the filtration plant be serviced and maintained once it has been constructed?
Yes. A committee is elected that is in charge of collecting a minimal fee from the locals to cover the cost of any maintenance and repair. If there are any major issues, the committee contact SKT Welfare and our field officers visit the site to solve any issues.
5. Will the filtration plant provide more benefit to the people compared to other sources of water like wells, hand pumps, etc?
Yes. This is because the filtration plant produces clean water at a much larger volume. Our hand pumps benefit a family of between 5 to 10 as they are installed in a family home. The filtration plant on the other hand benefits an entire community, their cattle, etc.
6. Will I receive regular updates regarding its construction?
Yes. You will receive videos of the construction process as well as a final video and photos of the completed filtration plant, its opening Dua, and the community using the water.
7. Can I put more than one person’s name on the donation plaque?
Yes. You may use up to 3 full names.
8. Do you provide different types of filtration plants (i.e small/large/solar powered etc) and if you do then what are the differences?
Yes. We install a non-solar and a solar panel plant. A solar plant is installed in those areas where there is a shortage of electricity. The non-solar plant is installed in those areas where it is not safe for solar panel plants due to the risk of theft.
9. Could I visit the filtration plant if I wish to do so once it has been constructed?
Yes. You are provided full details of the village as well as a GPS location of the filtration plant and our field officers can meet you there when a meet is planned.
10. Could I choose the location of the filtration plant?
Please kindly send your preferred location to [email protected] and we will speak to our team in Pakistan to ask whether that area is possible.
