UPDATE- Increased my target to £900 for 3 wells to be built inshallah.
Assalaamu Alaikum. Hope you’re well!
I'm excited to share I have taken up the Walk for Water Ben Nevis Challenge. On Saturday 24th August I will be trekking up UK's highest mountain with Penny Appeal to help build a water well inshallah. 🏔💧
1 water well costs £300.
For millions of people around the world, getting clean water isn’t just a case of turning on the tap. Three children die every minute from drinking dirty water. Build a well and give clean water to those in need!
With your help, we can bring clean water to rural communities, giving them safe water for drinking, cooking and cleaning, water for their crops and animals and the chance to break out of the poverty cycle.
Did you know 663 million people don’t have access to safe drinkable water? That’s one in every nine people. According to WHO, five gallons of water is sufficient for very basic drinking, cooking, and hand washing needs in a developing country, but other common tasks that require larger volumes of water such as bathing or laundry are difficult to achieve with only five gallons.
Our Prophet said 'The best charity is giving water to drink' and I pray we can all dig deep and donate. All the money you donate will directly go towards the water wells. So please donate as little or as much as you can.
