How to Apply for a Quba Foundation Water Pump in Sindh, Access to clean water is still a major challenge in many rural parts of Dadu. The Quba Foundation is actively working to provide hand pumps and water wells to underserved communities—but unlike public schemes, their process is survey-based rather than open application.
If your village needs a water pump, here’s how you can initiate the process.
Understanding How Quba Foundation Works
The Quba Foundation does not offer a typical application form. Instead, they:
- Identify needy areas through field surveys
- Prioritize water-scarce and vulnerable communities
- Focus on sustainable, long-term water access
This means your goal is to request a survey visit, not just submit a form.
Step-by-Step Process to Request a Water Pump
1. Contact Quba Foundation Directly
Start by reaching out through their official channels:
- 📞 Phone: +92 300 80 99 789
- 📞 Phone: +92 339 00 33 311
- 📧 Email: info@qubafoundation.org
- 🌐 Facebook: Official Quba Foundation page
Clearly explain that your village in Dadu needs a water pump and request a field assessment.
2. Provide Complete Village Information
When contacting them, include:
- Your full name and contact number
- Village name and Union Council
- Tehsil and District (Dadu)
- Number of households
- Current water situation (no access, unsafe water, long distances)
The more detailed your request, the easier it is for their team to evaluate urgency.
3. Request a Site Survey
Ask specifically for a survey visit. During this stage, the foundation’s team will:
- Visit your location
- Check groundwater availability
- Assess population size and need
- Confirm whether there are alternative water sources nearby
Areas with no nearby clean water access are prioritized.
4. Approval and Installation
If your village qualifies:
- The project is approved based on need and funding
- Installation of a hand pump or well is scheduled
Costs typically range between:
- PKR 45,000 for standard pumps
- Up to PKR 95,000 for deeper or heavy-duty installations
In many cases, donors or sponsors fund these installations, especially for widows, elderly households, or highly vulnerable communities.
Key Tips to Improve Your Chances
- Apply as a community group, not individually
- Highlight serious water shortages or health risks
- Mention if your area is remote or flood-affected
- Provide photos or local references if possible
Strong, genuine cases are more likely to be approved.
Important Note
Quba Foundation projects are:
- Not guaranteed upon request
- Dependent on survey results and available funding
- Focused on those most in need
Always rely on official communication channels for updates and avoid unofficial agents.
