Tube Well Project —
three tranches.
Tube well installation across April, May, and June 2026 — three tranches of Rs 150,000 each. Each well typically serves a small community: one mosque plus adjacent households, or a school plus nearby families.
April tranche month already passed with no recorded receipt. Reconciliation against the April–May portfolio stall is the immediate operational priority.
What one tube well actually delivers.
Water infrastructure is the canonical multi-generational charitable intervention. A working well in a Pakistan village pays back over decades.
Why water infrastructure punches above its weight.
Water is the canonical multi-generational intervention in international development. A working tube well in a Pakistan village reduces walking time to clean water from hours to minutes, collapses the household disease burden, frees girls and women from water-fetching duty (and into school and work), and supports basic agriculture.
The Rs 150,000 per-tranche figure is consistent with current Pakistan rural-well economics: drilling, casing, hand pump or solar pump, basic civic works. Each well at this price point typically serves one mosque plus 30–50 surrounding households — perhaps 250–400 individuals.
Three tranches of Rs 150,000 across April, May, and June probably fund three separate wells, but could equally fund one large well delivered in instalments. The Pakistan team’s site selection and engineering files will resolve which.
The companion Tubewell Upgrade (August, Rs 100,000) and OH Reservoir at Masamkhel (October, Rs 50,000) extend the same lead’s portfolio: Hamid Rauf is running QIF’s entire water-infrastructure programme as a single coordinated effort, with the Canada-funded QIF Family Water Well (September, Rs 200,000) layered on top.
April–June 2026 — three tranches.
Each tranche stands alone — donors can fund Tranche 1, Tranche 2, Tranche 3, or any combination. Site selection happens before procurement.

Tube well photography is high-impact donor content: drilling progress, pump installation, families collecting clean water. The Pakistan team will document each tranche.

Rs 150,000 funds one tube well tranche. Twenty years of clean water for a community of fifty households. There is no cheaper unit of multi-generational charitable infrastructure.
