1 in 10 people across the 🌎 lack access to safe 1 in 10 people across the 🌎 lack access to safe and clean water. That's more than 771 million.
As a result diseases that should've historically been eradicated are still rampant. 

Tharparkar, Pakistan 🇵🇰 is one of the many places people struggle to have access to clean water. But, since installing over 30 solar powered water plants in the last 3 years, we’ve seen the communities there thrive!

Thaakat’s solar powered wells are placed in communities that have promised to uphold maintenance and upkeep of these clean water sanctuaries. 

This #worldwaterday help us provide this basic human right to those in need.

Our wells are built with longevity, ease and sustainability in mind. 

Water flows at the tug of a handle and the solar panels pump water from over 100ft underground. We know that in these dry areas, wells like these will last much longer than traditional hand pumps.

Happy International Women's Day! Despite strides Happy International Women's Day! 

Despite strides made towards advancing women globally, gender inequality still exists. More work must be done to increase gender parity, including better healthcare and education for women globally.

This year’s #InternationalWomensDay let's #ChooseToChallenge obstacles women face while celebrating the achievements of women across the world.

Through education Thaakat is choosing to challenge female illiteracy rates and empower girls and women. Today 40% of our DREAMS students are 👧🏽 and 80% of our college students are female.

Every year we organize malaria prevention and educ Every year we organize malaria prevention and education campaigns in Sierra Leone.

In the very remote communities we work in, more than 50% of the population sampled tests positive for the disease.

Malaria is a parasitic disease.

It can send you to bed for a very long time, even forever. It is deadly.

Malaria is prevalent in Africa and Asia, and although it’s something every traveler should know about its particularly treacherous for those who live amongst the disease on a daily basis.

We’ve put short and long term prevention campaigns in place, however the best step is education. #healthcare #health #healthylifestyle #healthy #healthyliving #healthyfood #love #wellness #fitness #mentalhealth #doctor #healthiswealth #medical #medicine

At the market price of 20 rupees a naan, these families would normally have to spend their day’s salary on bread alone.

We do this for the families! 

FUN FACT: Our bread chefs, Sughra and Noor Jahan, are possibly the only female naan chefs in all of Karachi!
