The foundation has recently sunk 10 wells in Pakistan, where potable water is far from adequate for the country’s large population.Muhammed Polat, the general-secretary of the Cansuyu Solidarity and Charity Foundation, said they have constructed the wells to provide more people with clean water. “Thanks to the financial support of many philanthropists, we are trying to aid people throughout the world without discrimination based on gender, race, color, language, religion, belief, ethnicity, origin or sexual identity. People around the world face many problems that make it difficult to live. Pakistanis exist without potable water because of geographical conditions, a long-lasting drought, poor infrastructure and other reasons. We are determined to continue our aid to people throughout the world as long as benefactors help us by giving us not only financial but also moral support,” Polat stated.
The foundation has sunk 115 wells in foreign countries such as Niger, Pakistan, Chad, Ghana and Togo. Digging a well by hand takes three months, while drilling a well that uses an electric submersible pump, a vertical turbine pump, a hand pump or a mechanical pump takes two or three days. The foundation’s work to open new wells around the world is ongoing.
