WaterAid | Pakistan

In Pakistan 91% of people have access to safe water and only 59% have access to sanitation.

Since 1996, WaterAid and its partners have focused on the unplanned slum areas surrounding Pakistan's major urban centres. WaterAid supports the pioneering Orangi Pilot Project (OPP), a self-funded, administered and maintained grassroots movement, working with poor communities to construct and improve sewers in Karachi. WaterAid also supporters other organisations undertaking urban sanitation projects based on the OPP model.

WaterAid opened a country office in 2006 and plans to extend work into rural areas, develop its strategy and play a leading role in influencing policy decisions. As Pakistan is one of the world's most water-stressed countries, WaterAid also plans to set up specific water projects in addition to continuing its sanitation work.
