For Nasir, a 32-year-old resident of Baltistan, the struggle for clean water was a daily battle that impacted every aspect of life.

At 60 years old, Nidhal’s life has been marked by loss and hardship. A widow from Najaf, Iraq, she has faced unimaginable challenges—losing not only her husband but also her son and daughter-in-law, leaving her as the sole caregiver for her seven daughters and young grandson.
