UNESCO report further sheds light on the widespread nature of water scarcity, affecting between two and three billion people who experience significant water shortages for at least one month every year. This scarcity poses severe risks to livelihoods, particularly through impacts on food security and access to electricity.
Looking ahead, the situation appears increasingly dire. The number of urban dwellers facing water scarcity is expected to more than double, rising from 930 million in 2016 to between 1.7 and 2.4 billion by 2050.
At Al-Qulub Trust, guided by the principles of our Islamic faith, we are committed to addressing these critical challenges specifically in Pakistan. Our mission is to ensure that every Pakistani has access to clean water and proper sanitation facilities, thereby improving the overall well-being and health of our fellow citizens.
