Aftab Rizvi, a Pakistani living in the UK

In Pakistan 'tube well' is called a well in which an electric motor pulls water from the ground and a hand pump is a pump which is operated by hand to pull water. In March 2021 I happen to hear about Paani Project saying that they do 5 tube wells for $1000 in Pakistan. I paid the amount and after 2 months I got a photo of a hand pump with joyful gathering of people with a portable plaque with the name of sister (which I believe was removed after the photo session.) I would have been happy even they had built a single tube well with a permanent fixed plaque of my sister's name but they did not do that. I have contacted the Paani Project to obtain the location details of these wells but didn't get any response. Disappointing service from a company who claim to do good service.

Response from Paani Project· Feb 14, 2022

Hi Aftab! Thank you for your feedback. We responded to all of your emails and are deeply surprised and concerned by these false, hurtful comments. You donated 5 tube wells which were each In memory of Sajida Qamar. We provided photos of what the wells would look like before you made the donation so you would know exactly what you'd be donating. We showed you at paaniproject.org/donate You then paid $200 for each well and, within 90 days, we sent you 5 emails with detailed location details along with images of the construction process from start to finish 1.) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sqpwRjf64i8KHsYzRCCoPaCfr2-ORBjp?usp=sharing 2.) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yx7qM1RZpiW6ak1DMmb2ylxenT5QViJA?usp=sharing 3.) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U0p96WngeFRwmuYL80iTp9nfKaVjJDg6?usp=sharing 4.) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mO2PtbM8tlAaAeYpq6AHapxm1EH6fNB3?usp=sharing 5.) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nHk_vHCrw27qgpSTXAx_zwC8S2m3SRGg?usp=sharing After we sent you the emails with the links and image folders you replied with an email expressing frustrations that we were not able to build the 5 tube wells like the $600 deep well, even though that's NOT what you paid for. If you had paid $3000 for 5 deep wells, we would have built 5 deep wells. We made it clear in our response to you how we construct our wells and how we can send updates upon request. Dozens of our donors have gone to Pakistan, visited their wells, and drank from them. Additionally, we have a three-step monitoring system, one at the district level, second at the community level, and third at the Head office level, which includes our technical team who monitor wells to properly ensure the quality and suitability of the project. We also send our teams over for follow-up visits and do quarterly visits to check the previous wells. Again, all of this is stuff that our team discussed with you via email. I am unsure why you are saying nobody responded. Thank you!
