How Clean Water Revitalized Nasir’s Village

For Nasir and the residents of Baltistan, water scarcity had long been a daily struggle. With only one tap serving 60 households, families endured long lines, exhausting treks, and constant uncertainty about whether they’d have enough clean water to drink and use. 

The lack of reliable water access took a toll on everyone. Children missed school to help fetch water, and women spent hours each day carrying heavy containers. With limited water for hygiene, illnesses spread quickly, leaving the village in a continuous cycle of hardship. 

In November 2024, everything changed. The Zahra Trust undertook a transformative project to install a fully equipped water well in the village. Over just ten days, modern water motors and pipes were put in place, ensuring every household had round-the-clock access to clean, safe water. 

The results were immediate and life-changing. Children could now attend school without disruption, and mothers and elders had more time to focus on household well-being and community growth. The village saw improved sanitation, reducing the spread of disease and increasing overall quality of life. 

“This water well has changed our lives,” Nasir shared. “Our children can dream of brighter futures, and our community feels rejuvenated.” 

The well’s impact extended beyond Nasir’s village, inspiring nearby communities to seek similar improvements. Many are now exploring solar-powered systems to ensure continuous water supply, even during electricity shortages. 

The Zahra Trust’s initiative in Taqi Chowk is a testament to the power of sustainable aid. By addressing one of the most fundamental human needs, they have given this community hope, health, and opportunity. 

This is more than just a well—it’s the foundation for a brighter, healthier future in Baltistan.
