Bayer to dole out H2O wheels
July 7, 2021
Karachi: Bayer Pakistan has joined hands with Tayaba Organization to provide 2,000 H2O (Help-2-Others) Water Wheels to water-scarce communities in Sindh and Punjab, a statement said on Tuesday.
H2O wheels are specially designed 40-litre drum containers with handles which enable people to roll water from its source rather than carry it on their heads the traditional way; in terracotta pots which are not only heavy, but have a limited capacity.
Endorsed by Pakistan’s Water Ministry, the project offers not only hygienic transportation but also hygienic storage for water and will help reduce the incidence of disease. It will also alleviate the physical burden on women and children of lifting heavy loads, thereby reducing injury.
