THE PAKISTAN PROJECT

For over 80 years, Pakistan has been facing some of the worst floods that continue to devastate their landIn Sindh alone, one of the four provinces in Pakistan, thousands of villages have been swept away with the flood. The people of Pakistan have lost almost everything, and the death toll will most likely continue to rise.

In 2010,of Pakistan’s total land area was completely underwater.

LIFESAVER bottles can improve the health of people living in Pakistan by providing access to safe drinking water that will reduce diseases, lower health costs, and improve their overall lifestyles.

Intermittent water supplies and leaky pipes lead to poor drinking

water quality and sanitation. Because of bad water and plumbing systems,

the sewage and industrial waste in Pakistan leaks into drinking water. This leads to major outbreaks

of waterborne diseases.

Waterborne diseases, including cholera, typhoid, hookworm, and ameobiasis

infect more than 3 million Pakistanis every year.
