KARACHI, Oct 07 (APP):Anosh Foundation has installed two submersible water pumps in Karachi’s underserved neighborhoods to help address the shortage of clean drinking water. The project will provide safe drinking water to approximately 200 people daily. These pumps were installed as a charitable act dedicated to the Eesal-e-Sawab of the late Nadeem Muhammad Ahmed, father of businessman and philanthropist Anosh Ahmed.
The total cost of the project amounted to around PKR 650,000. This initiative aims to bring relief to households where water scarcity has long been a part of daily life.
Talking to APP, Anosh Ahmed said, “The purpose of this initiative is to meet human needs without distinction of religion, sect, or locality—reflecting Karachi’s shared realities and the dignity of every household.”
Under the project, one pump was installed in Sector 11-H, North Karachi, near Saint Joseph Church, to support the Christian community, which has faced a severe water shortage for the past 15 years. The installation was inaugurated during a modest ceremony hosted by Anosh Foundation, where special prayers were offered for the prosperity of the nation and for Anosh Ahmed and his late father.
The second pump was installed in Al-Madina Colony, Orangi Town, where government-supplied water was available only once a month. A 350-foot deep bore with an 8-inch diameter was drilled for the installation. Both sites have been equipped with a 1,000-liter storage tank, water faucets, and professional plumbing to ensure an organized and hygienic water distribution system.
With the new submersible pumps, residents can now access water daily, reducing household expenses, bringing stability to daily routines, and saving valuable time previously spent arranging for water.
According to Anosh Foundation, both sites were engineered for durability, continuous operation, and ease of maintenance. The focus on bore diameter, depth, and a simple, safe distribution layout is intended to minimize breakdown risk and keep water flowing through high-demand months. In the months ahead, the Foundation will monitor usage patterns and coordinate basic user guidance, such as community scheduling and simple maintenance checks, to keep the system running smoothly.
Local residents have praised the initiative, expressing hope that access to clean water will lead to improved health, time savings, and a reduction in financial burden.
