Water
It’s hard to believe that more often than not, the clean water a developing community desperately needs is right underneath them. And it’s amazing how a relatively small donation can make such a dramatic difference in so many lives.
Water is the key to all life. Yet across the globe, a staggering 785 million people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water!
Without safe and clean water to drink, these people risk dehydration, disease and at worse: death. Life without clean water can seem unimaginable but for millions of people it’s a daily reality.
Every person needs a sustainable supply of clean water: for drinking, washing, cooking and cleaning. It is a basic human right and there are still millions of people that do not have clean water.
In poor countries women and children walk an average 3 miles everyday to collect water for their daily use. As a result, women are often unable to get jobs or contribute financially to their households. Children are often unable to go to school or get an education due to the thousands of hours they have to spend annually just carrying water.
‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, “Which charity is best?”
He replied, “[Providing] water”’.
[Abu Dawud]

Water is regularly fetched by a bucket pull out by a rope tied to a metal stand on top of the well.
