Our Karachi

We all remember Karachi 's past with fondness when it was the city of lights, recognized for its spirit, vigor and pleasant surroundings. A past in which citizens played an active role in its destiny and future planning.

A mega city, Karachi is the largest metropolis of Pakistan  

Karachi is also one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the world.  Its current population is estimated to be eighteen million people and this is predicted to rise to almost double its size (32 million) in another ten years or so Karachi faces several environmental threats and challenges, of which water, sanitation and sewerage issues are paramount.

The solutions to these problems therefore should be built around participation by both government and citizen groups, so that both may take actions as part of their duties and responsibilities to make Karachi a city where safe drinking water is available to all, sewerage and solid waste. One approach to this problem is the revolutionary Karachi Water Partnership Model which encourages all stakeholders to take ownership of their scarce water resources and enables them to employ in more efficient, equitable and ecologically sustainable practices and management of these resources.

Let us all join hands in working together so that we can leave our children with a healthy, clean and green Karachi .
