Providing clean safe water transforms lives for good
The transformative impact of providing clean and safe water is immeasurable, especially considering that over 2 billion people worldwide still lack access to this essential resource. Numerous communities face the grim reality of insufficient clean water due to various factors such as drought, oppression, and inadequate infrastructure. To truly break the cycle of poverty, it is imperative to implement intelligent and sustainable solutions that address the root causes of this widespread issue. Your contribution can play a pivotal role in making a significant difference in the lives of thousands across Pakistan, with a modest donation starting at just £130.
Donating now offers the opportunity to give the invaluable gift of fresh, clean water to those in desperate need. By supporting initiatives that aim to provide sustainable access to clean water, you become a catalyst for positive change, directly impacting communities and fostering their well-being. The importance of water in Islamic teachings is exemplified in a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), who stated, “The best charity is giving water to drink” [Ahmad]. This timeless wisdom underscores the significance of supporting initiatives that ensure access to clean water, a fundamental necessity for a dignified and healthy life.
Water Appeal
Reliable access to safe, clean water means that drinking, cooking, washing, and making wudu no longer pose a risk of illness.
It also means that women and children don’t have to walk for miles to collect – often dirty – water. The average distance that women and children walk to collect water in Pakistan is 2 miles, carrying around 20 litres of water.
Now – just think of what your water charity can do. Your water charity, which you give by donating a handpump, can help people stay healthy, grow their own food, have time for children to go to school, or for women to start their own businesses.
When making the donation please include the day and date that you would like to sponsor in the comments box.
