    LAHORE– Everyone is trying to collect funds for the flood affected people but very few are creating something of value out of nothing. The SEPLAA Foundation, a health, environment and social reform think tank, launched a unique campaign to collect water for the flood victims called the ‘SEPLAA Recycled Water Bottles for Flood Victims Campaign’ here on Saturday at their Lahore Office.
    According to a press release, the SEPLAA team and volunteers are collecting clean empty Nestle/ Gourmet/ Pepsi/ Coke plastic bottles at their DHA Lahore office and at other designated areas. SEPLAA Foundation President Mrs Ammara Farooq Malik said that according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) close to 3.5 million children in the flood-affected areas of Pakistan are presently at high risk of contracting fatal diseases carried through contaminated water and insects.
    “Our team at SEPLAA will wash these bottles again and fill them with filtered or boiled water to be delivered to flood affected families.
    The water will be safe to drink and will at least be useful for maintaining personal hygiene. The campaign may also save many children and adults by providing low cost bottled water, safe for transportation even to remote areas and which will help prevent the spread of water borne diseases.”
    Mrs Malik maintained that, “Even being able to wash hands periodically can help prevent infections and disease.
    The people in the affected areas are forced to drink contaminated water and have to live in unhygienic conditions. People who still do not have a roof over their heads can benefit immensely from this water that can be dispatched to remote areas.”
    Responding to a question as to who would deliver these bottles, she replied that SEPLAA would deliver several such bottles when we deliver relief goods in Muzaffargarh and Kot Addu. The rest we will give to the army as they can cover remote areas, she added.
    With the schools and universities now reopening in Lahore, the campaign is going to focus on young students to act as volunteers to help collect these bottles.
    The campaign has simultaneously been launched inKarachi andIslamabad to help the flood victims, the environment and the health of the poorest people.
