Pakistan is ranked among the top ten most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, facing severe impacts from climate change, including water scarcity. Over 22 million people in rural areas lack access to clean water,(*1) and 70% of households rely on contaminated water sources(*2). Nida decided to tackle this issue after observing rural women having to walk up to four hours carrying heavy clay pots to fetch safe water, which causes chronic physical strain.

Under Tayaba Organization, Nida developed the “H2O Wheel,” which can transport up to 40 liters of water with minimal effort, reducing the physical strain on users. In just three years, Tayaba has impacted over half a million lives through collaborations with more than 50 partner organizations. Additionally, Tayaba provides “H2O Solar and H2O Air” systems that generate clean drinking water using renewable energy sources. The organization also distributes hygiene kits containing reusable sanitary pads and soaps, empowering low-income women. Nida’s work aims to enhance climate resilience in vulnerable regions and address water scarcity, with a goal to reach 25 million people by 2030.
