In the remote village of Sammon Rind, located in tehsil Chachro, Tharparkar, approximately 480 km from Karachi, a silent crisis is unfolding. Nearly all of the 3,000+ residents suffer from severe spinal deformities, leaving them unable to stand upright. The cause of their suffering? The only available drinking water is contaminated with arsenic, toxic levels of fluoride, and salts.
This heartbreaking situation is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of endemic water pollution on vulnerable communities. Without access to clean water, the health and future of these villagers remain at risk.
