Project 110, Donation. Cost: US$14,500 – Installation of a pipeline to provide Ravmed village with 38 Households, in Rushan District, access to safe drinking water from a mountain spring located 5.5 kms away.

Ravmed  Village

Pre-project Situation

The 38 household in Ravmed village currently are using the water from the Bartang river as a source of the drinking water which is located 1.5 kms away from the village.
The water in the river is not safe, as it can have a lot of microorganisms, that can serve as a cause of the infectious diseases. Since children more tend to drink the water without boiling it, they are the one that mostly get sick with diarrhea. The water gets muddy during Summer, as glaciers melt a lot during the hot weather, the water brings a lot of mud with it down to the river. In addition, it is very hard to fetch water during the winter, as it is unsafe to go down to the river, when it freezes around.
