IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0In 2013 Panah Charity built 16 water wells in 16 different villages and locations where poor and homeless families are living. In those locations children had to walk miles to bring drinking water from other water wells and this was very difficult particularly during the summer and winter seasons. By building these water wells Panah Charity helped thousands of needy families and also saved children from transportation of water in buckets from miles away.
