In many arid and remote regions of Pakistan, accessing clean water is a significant challenge, with groundwater often located hundreds of meters below the surface. Conventional methods like hand pumps or bucket-and-rope systems are often ineffective in these areas, leaving communities struggling to meet their basic water needs. To tackle this issue, SEARCH has pioneered an innovative Solar-Powered Water and Energy System that leverages renewable energy to extract and distribute water efficiently.
The system utilizes solar energy to pump groundwater into elevated storage tanks, from where it is piped directly to households, ensuring equitable distribution based on family size. This approach not only provides reliable access to clean drinking water but also supports local farmers by supplying water for irrigation and livestock, enhancing agricultural productivity and food security.
By combining renewable technology with community-centric distribution, SEARCH’s Solar-Powered Water and Energy System has the potential to transform lives across Pakistan’s most water-stressed regions, ensuring that marginalized communities have the resources they need to thrive.
Health & Hygiene Awareness
We’re committed to making sure that people have the knowledge and the tools they need to stay well. Water, sanitation and hygiene are all parts of the same goal; that everyone has access to clean water and understands how to keep themselves healthy.
Our Opproach
Our vision for schools is for every child to haveaccess to adequate, inclusive, sustainable andquality WASH facilities.
SEARCH has a decade of experience working alongside governments and school institutions to support improvements in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in Schools (WinS). Our goal is to achieve sustainable and inclusive school WASH by combining on-the-ground interventions with the capacity building of key education stakeholders—such as school management committees and teachers.
We are committed to continuous learning and collaboration with others in the sector, sharing best practices and insights to enhance impact.
SEARCH implements WASH services in schools in partnership with various organizations. This includes:
- Installation or rehabilitation of WASH services in schools,
- capacity building of teachers and government stakeholders.
