Safe Water

“Safe Water always Saves Life”

As we know our communities suffer from most of the water born diseases, such as Cold, Dysentery, Cholera, and Skin diseases in Villages, and Slums. REWARD initiated low cost “Green filter” system to filter the water before drinking without the usage of Electricity or any power supply.

Also, usage of boiled water, and hygienic practices by the mothers mainly are being emphasized.

  • Deep tube-wells for the community,
  • Drinking water unit

Psycho-Social Counselling For Terminal Stage Diseases

     This is the latest wing of REWARD, where we are able to help by funding a child friendly zone which is called “KHELAR GHOR” a “Play Room” for our terminal stage Cancer children.

     The point behind this is to counsel the children in a way where words are not enough, also this Child Friendly zone is giving the space for the children to avoid the hospital bed for a certain time in a day.

     Except, the terminal stage children, the counselling through various activities has been initiated for the Slum and Rural area children also, to revive them from the beginning of the life, so that they can built up some ambition to achieve something and change their situation with the power of knowledge.
