How Imdad helps

In Burkina Faso we build on water systems towards planned cultivation and practical teaching. In Pakistan, vocational training has given women a place to learn new skills. The aim is greater independence through solutions that can be used, maintained and developed locally.

From well to local operation

In Nanoro the well is complete and the school under construction. In Godo, solar-powered water supplies are in place and tree planting has started. The next steps develop around these local conditions.
