Water is life. It nourishes, cleanses, and sustains us. Yet, for millions across the world, access to clean drinking water is still a distant dream. Imagine a mother walking miles under the scorching sun, carrying a heavy container just to fetch water that may not even be safe to drink. Imagine a child, too weak to attend school, suffering from preventable waterborne diseases. This is not just a scenario—it is the reality of many communities in Pakistan and beyond.
At MTJ Foundation, we believe that access to clean water is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right. It is not just about quenching thirst—it is about dignity, health, and the chance for a better future. Our mission is to ensure that every drop of water brings hope, healing, and transformation.
A Crisis That Can’t Be Ignored
In Pakistan, more than 80% of the population lacks access to clean drinking water. This crisis disproportionately affects children, leading to waterborne diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid. According to UNICEF, these diseases contribute to over 50,000 child deaths every year in the country. The impact is heartbreaking—lives are lost, dreams are shattered, and communities are left in perpetual struggle.
MTJ Foundation’s Commitment to Change
At MTJ Foundation, we are not just witnessing this crisis—we are actively working to change the narrative. Through our Clean Water Initiative, we are reaching out to the most vulnerable communities, providing them with sustainable solutions for safe and accessible water. Our projects focus on:
- Hand Pump Installations – Bringing water closer to families and communities who previously had to walk miles to fetch it.
- Water Filtration Plants – Ensuring that drinking water is safe and free from contaminants.
- Emergency Water Relief – Providing immediate access to clean water in disaster-affected areas.
Water as a Lifeline in Gaza
Beyond Pakistan, we are also extending our help to those suffering in conflict zones. Our foundation has been sending essential aid to Gaza, where families are displaced and struggling for survival. With limited access to safe drinking water, the crisis in Gaza is worsening every day. Through our relief efforts, we are providing formula milk powder and other necessities, ensuring that displaced families, especially children and mothers, receive the care they need.
For us, clean water is not just about health—it is about giving people a fighting chance. It is about allowing children to go to school without suffering from illness. It is about empowering women, who no longer have to spend hours fetching water. It is about restoring hope in places where despair looms large.

Impacting Lives Through Clean Water Access
With the installation of our hand pumps and water filtration plants, we have impacted the lives of more than 300,000 people, bringing hope and ease to communities that once struggled for something as basic as water. Families no longer have to walk miles for water, a struggle we heard from countless beneficiaries. Mothers shared how they would set out before sunrise, walking for hours with heavy pots, only to return home exhausted, leaving little time for their children or household needs. Children, instead of attending school, would accompany their parents on these long, tiring journeys.
But now, with access to clean water just steps away, their lives have taken a new turn. Children can finally focus on their education without the burden of water collection. Mothers have more time to care for their families and pursue small income-generating activities. We have seen entire communities thrive, with gardens growing fresh vegetables and livestock staying healthy.
The risk of waterborne diseases, which once caused untold suffering, has significantly decreased. Villagers no longer live in fear of contaminated water harming their loved ones. Now, they celebrate healthier, brighter days. The ripple effect of clean water is profound—it’s not just about survival but about living with dignity and hope.
