ICF Brings Clean Drinking Water to Six Villages in Karakalpakstan
Tashkent, Uzbekistan – The International Chodiev Foundation (ICF) is proud to announce the successful completion of a project aimed at providing clean drinking water to six villages in the Karauzyak district of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Thanks to the implementation of modern water supply and sanitation systems, more than 1,700 residents of Nurumtubek, Kypshak, Olzhabay, Kostam, Umbet, and Teristamgal now have access to safe and potable water.
The residents of these hard-to-reach areas in Karakalpakstan often relied on non-potable water sources, which could pose health risks.
Sabir Chodiev, Director and Member of the ICF Board of Trustees, who has been instrumental in the initiation and supervision of this vital project, stated: ‘In the coming years, we aim to replicate this successful initiative in other regions experiencing water supply issues. The implementation of this project will improve the health of the most vulnerable segments of the population – children, who make up a large proportion of the population, as well as pregnant women and the elderly.’
Since the opening of the International Chodiev Foundation office in Uzbekistan in 2017, supporting the vulnerable has been one of our key priorities. During the challenging times brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, the ICF focused on providing essential aid to the elderly and low-income families across the country. ICF also supported The Charity Coordination Centre in Tashkent, procuring medical equipment and personal protection for doctors at the Research Institute of Virology of the Ministry of Health, and assisting the flood victims in the Syrdarya region.
