Iraq
Water well projects provide a better and more stable life, it is not only a resource for drinking and nutrition, but also a vital element for health, growth, and development.
Nevertheless, countless individuals worldwide, notably in Iraq, continue to face challenges in accessing safe and reliable clean water, either due to its scarcity or inadequate infrastructure, necessitating the exploration of more innovative solutions to address this issue.
Ninewa, Sala Al-Din, northern Iraq, and Diyala in the east, suffer from the scarcity of potable water, affecting approximately 5 million people. Residents endure the burden of obtaining or purchasing water periodically, amplifying the strain on their already fragile economic circumstances.
The importance of water projects
Water purification systems play a crucial role in ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, bacteria-free water, benefiting households, educational institutions, medical facilities, and workplaces as follows:
-Improved Health and Well-being: Clean water from wells reduces the risk of waterborne diseases, a major threat to health and development. This translates to healthier families, fewer missed school days for children, and a stronger overall community.
-Economic Growth and Empowerment: Water availability fosters economic opportunities. Farmers can cultivate crops, families can raise livestock, and small businesses can thrive. Women and girls, often responsible for water collection, are freed up for education, income generation, and other opportunities.
-Education and Development: Reliable access to water empowers children to stay in school. Clean water also supports hygiene practices and sanitation facilities, further improving the learning environment.
-Community Resilience: Water wells provide a reliable source of water during droughts or emergencies, fostering a sense of security and self-sufficiency within communities.
Contributing to water projects not only fosters health and human dignity but also facilitates the development of resilient and sustainable societies. Consequently, the Al-Rakeezeh Relief and Development Foundation is dedicated to its water sector initiatives, striving to ensure access to clean drinking water for all, particularly in rural settings.
