About us | Anjuman Samaji Behbood

Anjuman Samaji Behbood (ASB) is a community `-based organization in Pakistan that specializes in water supply and sanitation. Numerous low-income communities, which are home to blue-collar labor, lacked proper water supply and sanitation in Faisalabad. Local community leaders lobbied the politicians for years for improved municipal services. In return, they only received empty promises. Meanwhile, the size and density of communities has increased. The lack of sanitation resulted in streets filled with sewage and other waste. These unhygienic conditions were more than just an eyesore. Poor sanitary conditions resulted in higher incidence of disease. Women and children suffered the most because they spent the most time in the unhygienic environment. The community relied on donkey carts to supply water to the households.

Anjuman Samaji Behbood (ASB) has helped launch a community-driven water supply and sanitation program that has equipped 10,000 households in 85 communities. These households have spent $0.72 million equivalent for better water supply and sanitation facilities.

A few local leaders in the community of Daddiwala, Faisalabad, tried to attract the attention of politicians to their plight. Their NGO, Anjuman Samaji Behbood (ASB) aimed to promote social welfare in the localities it served. However, for years, ASB confined its role to lobbying politicians.
Eventually, ASB transformed itself to become an agent of change and has helped launch a community-driven water supply and sanitation program that has equipped 10,000 households in 85 communities. These households have spent $0.72 million equivalent for better water supply and sanitation facilities.
