WATER IS LIFE: Bring Clean Water to Remote Nepal

A Fundraising Campaign by Anastasia Abdallah for The Pradiya Foundation | Serving At-Risk Children, Families & the Future

One of Nepal’s Most Remote Villages. No Roads. No Electricity. No Healthcare System. No Clean Water.

In the steep hills of western Nepal lies a village completely isolated from basic services. The nearest town is a two-hour drive and a three-hour uphill walk away, all on foot.

There is:

 No road access

 No electricity

 No healthcare system

 No flushing toilets or sanitation systems

 No clean drinking water

Yet, more than 150 at-risk children spend their days here learning and growing, walking miles daily to attend Pradiya International School, while drinking contaminated water every day. It’s not just unsafe — it’s deadly.

 Who This Project Supports

Serves 124 at-risk children who walk miles daily to attend school

Children include those with disabilities, children from the Dalit community (historically marginalized as low caste or “untouchables”), and many from vulnerable or displaced families

The school provides education and meals — but has no safe drinking water

A residential facility caring for 27 orphaned or displaced children

Staff and children rely on unsafe water sources, risking illness daily

Hundreds of people suffer from waterborne diseases

Without sanitation or a healthcare system, infections spread rapidly

Children often miss school due to illness — some do not survive

This is a public health crisis that disproportionately impacts the most marginalized and vulnerable populations.

 The Solution: A Sustainable Clean Water System

Pradiya Foundation is ready to build a community-powered, gravity-fed water system to bring safe, clean drinking water to hundreds of people, including all the children at the school and children’s home.

 Constructed with locally sourced labor

 Materials carried entirely by hand — no vehicles or machines can reach the village

 Designed for long-term sustainability and health

 Total Project Cost: $23,000

 Where Your Support Goes

 1. Water Filtration System 

Removes harmful bacteria and contaminants

Provides safe water access for children and families

 2. Water Tank Construction 

Built by hand using local labor

All materials manually transported, including:

20 bundles of 12mm rebar

20 bundles of 10mm rebar

10 bundles of 8mm rebar

100 kg of binding wire

400 bags of OPC 43-grade cement

40 chatta of stones (carried on foot)

 3. Labor, Transport & Plumbing

All construction done without machinery

Laborers will carry every item through steep, difficult terrain

Creates local jobs and strengthens community ownership

 The Impact: Health, Safety & Dignity

 150+ at-risk children, including those with disabilities and from marginalized communities like Dalits, gain safe drinking water at school and home

 Hundreds of people are protected from deadly waterborne illnesses

 Girls and children with disabilities can stay in school, instead of walking long distances for water or missing school due to illness

 Foundation laid for future health, sanitation, and community growth

This is more than a water system — it’s life-saving infrastructure that supports inclusion, dignity, and equity for generations to come.

 A Message from Pradiya Foundation

“We’ve seen children grow weak from the water they drink — and some never recover. This isn’t just about clean water. It’s about survival, dignity, and giving our children a chance to grow. We are ready to carry every pipe and every stone by hand. We just need the support to start.”

— The Pradiya Foundation Team

 Water is not a luxury — it is a human right.

This project is about protecting the most vulnerable with the most basic need: clean water.

Let’s bring it to them — together.
