Water Supply

By constructing water pipelines, we make clean drinking water available to the villagers. We also support the construction of reservoirs, canals, and pipe systems for irrigating the fields.

Especially in villages that rely on meltwater from winter precipitation for their water supply, the situation is becoming increasingly critical, as snowfall continues to decline.

Since the founding of our organisation, we have implemented around 40 pipeline systems. As a result, most villages in the Shigar Valley, Arandu Valley, and Braldu Valley now have access to clean drinking water.

Access to clean drinking water is far from guaranteed in Baltistan.

All the men of the village lend a hand when a water pipe is being installed.

Construction work is often carried out in challenging terrain.

A water pipeline also eases the household chores of women and girls.

Himalaya-Karakorum e.V.

Der als gemeinnützig anerkannte Verein unterstützt Menschen, die unter schwierigen Bedingungen in den Bergen des Himalaya und Karakorum leben, am Rand der Siedlungsgrenze und immer auch am Rand der Existenzgrenze. Den Dorfbewohnern soll das Überleben in ihrer angestammten Heimat erleichtert werden, und zwar nach dem Prinzip der Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, dass unsere Hilfe in absehbarer Zeit nicht mehr nötig ist.
