Drinking Water-Services

In Afghanistan, particularly in rural areas, economic challenges are a significant barrier to accessing clean drinking water. Many rural families in Afghanistan struggle with extreme poverty and lack the financial means to build wells, purchase water filtration equipment, or even buy water from distant sources. Digging deep wells to access clean groundwater is costly. In areas with access to underground water resources, wells can be dug and equipped with manual or electric pumps with the help of charitable donations. This approach is simple, sustainable, and has lower costs compared to other methods, potentially meeting the water needs of an entire village or neighborhood. Many rural areas lack government support or local funding to establish water infrastructure.
