Every child deserves safe drinking water — especially those who have already lost so much. Many orphanages rely on unsafe water sources or costly, unreliable supply methods. This puts children at constant risk of waterborne illness and long-term health issues.

At Bondh E Shams (The Solar Water Project), we install solar-powered water filtration systems designed specifically for high-need environments like orphanages — where clean water must be available consistently, safely, and affordably. We have done successful projects with orphanage homes like Edhi Orphanage and SOS Village in Pakistan. Join us this Ramadan to replicate that impact in more orphanages.

The Solar Water Project (Bondh-E-Shams) delivers solar-powered water filtration units to remote and underserved communities. Developed with colleagues from Stanford University, our signature innovation—the OASIS Box—is a portable, solar-operated system designed to meet diverse community needs.

Dignity and human connection are central to our work in orphanages. Our team spends time with the children, delivering engaging sessions on hygiene and the importance of clean water, followed by fun activities like colouring and games. By interacting directly with children, we support not only their health through safe water but also their well-being, ensuring our work creates meaningful and lasting impact.

Donors who donate for a tap or more are eligible for a dedication plaque. The dedication can be for a loved one, any line or supplication.

Every donor receives free access to a secure reporting portal with a personal login linked to their OASIS Community Box. You can track your impact in real time, seeing daily data on clean water produced and people served. With built in live monitoring, you can clearly see how your donation is making a difference.
