Although money has been invested in the major cities since the recent
cessation of over twenty nine years of war, Afghanistan’s rural areas remain in
severe poverty. According to figures from the United Nation Development
Programme (UNDP) based in Kabul, people in rural areas are suffering from
shortage of clean water.
Afghanistan remains one of the world’s poorest countries.
AACO has been approached by residents to develop this project plan to
establish Wells in all districts which would serve a community of around
7 million people in the deprived and drought areas, positively
impacting on their health, education, climate, transportation and local markets.
The project will aim to work with local charities such as the Swedish
Committee for Afghanistan, USAID, EU Commission, UNDP, Provincial Reconstruction
Programme (PRT) and engage the local district authority to support the
construction of the WELLS.
In a recent visit to Afghanistan, AACO’s Director, Dr. Nooralhaq
Nasimi secured the agreement and support of key local districts
authority, officials and residents for the construction of the new WELLS.
National Solidarity Programme in Afghanistan will be a facilitating
partner which is now active in all 34 provinces of Afghanistan. We have received
full support of the beneficiaries during the visit of the Director of AACO in
Afghanistan in July 2008.
The community in the districts expressed their full participation and
contribution in the process to establish this vital project. The project will
provide employment opportunity for unskilled labours during digging well
construction.
One of the important activities in connection to water wells is to
conduct hygiene education about water handling, storage and water borne
diseases.
We will work together with the Afghanistan Ministry of Rural
Rehabilitation and Development. Baseline survey, location of the projects and
future maintenance of the wells has been coordinated with Ministry of Rural
Rehabilitation and Development through WSG (Water and Sanitation Group) for
Afghanistan.
The projects will be monitored and implemented by Afghanistan and Asian
Community organisation (AACO) and Afghanistan authorities. The estimate of the
costs constructing of each WELL is approximately $3000, £1500.
This includes: construction, materials, and management, administration and
labour costs.
We need your help and assistance in this important time for Afghanistan,
please think about this and support our ongoing projects to save the lives of
many women, children and men who are suffering from diseases and help the lives
of people who are dying everyday.
Thank you for your assistance in this important matter.
