Water story
The qanat, a hidden artery in the driest region
The Middle East, the world’s driest region, covers three quarters of Iran. Into the 1960s, qanats watered the fields of more than 60,000 villages.
Kariman runs qanat repair, water supply, and water-management projects so target villages can keep a stable water supply and people can stay.
- Transparency, ethics, and honesty
- Dignity of the people who are helped
