Islamabad: With a solar-powered Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) water filtration system, Faysal Bank Limited (FBL), one of Pakistan’s top Islamic banks, is honored to partner with the Zaman Foundation to provide the residents of Ramiyo Gajju with safe drinking water.
In addition to resolving the village’s 78-year battle for clean drinking water, this project gives the people more power by promoting healthier living conditions and increasing involvement in sustainable development.
An inventive solar-powered filtration plant that Faysal Bank supports is a prime example of sustainable development; it will improve the bank’s environmental stewardship and community welfare programs while providing communities with clean water that can change lives.

The new facility fosters environmental sustainability and community health while improving water quality and lowering TDS (total dissolved solids) to WHO-recommended levels.
Speaking during the R.O. Plant’s inauguration, Farah Asim, Head of Corporate Affairs at Faysal Bank, stated, “At Faysal Bank, our vision of sustainability is rooted in our Islamic value of Care/Khidmat, aiming to empower communities toward self-reliance and a better quality of life. This solar-powered water filtration plant is not just a project but a vital lifeline for over 300 households in Ramiyo Gajju and beyond.

In expressing his gratitude, Omar Zaman, CEO of the Zaman Foundation, stated, “Access to clean and safe drinking water is a basic human right, and this project marks a significant step in transforming the lives of villagers in Umerkot, Thar. Through our partnership with Faysal Bank, we have ensured that the 3,500+ residents of Ramiyo Gajju and the surrounding villages no longer have to walk miles in the blistering desert heat—that too for unsafe water. We are humbled to have Faysal Bank recognize and patronize Zaman Foundation’s unique sustainability model.”
FBL sets the standard for responsible corporate citizenship in the banking industry by fusing environmental stewardship with community development, exemplifying its core principle of CARE for a healthy and sustainable future.
