Story
One out of five deaths in children under five is as a result
contracting of a water-related disease.
884 million people do not have access to clean drinking water. Every day the number of people dying from diseases related to water is equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every four hours.
What developing countries are lacking are the resources to implement equipment to make water sanitary and safe.
In developing countries people are often left drinking unsafe water from rivers and puddles.
They are also left without working toilets, which heightens the threat of water related diseases.
- Water is our source of life and a blessing from Allah (swt). With water, we nourish, clean and refresh our bodies, cleanse our souls through whudu and ghusl and remember the hardships and struggles of Hajar (ra) when we perform Hajj. Allah (swt) in the Holy Qur’an tells us: ‘By means of water, we give life to everything’ (21:30). Without water, we cannot survive. Prophet Muhammad (saw) therefore taught us to not waste water and to share this precious source with others:
- ‘The best form of charity is to give someone water (to drink).’ (Ibn Majah)
WATERPUMPS AND WELLS
The water pumps and wells you build last for many years and provide a clean source of water for hundreds of people in developing communities. They relieve parents from the burden of carrying their children for many miles to collect safe water, and prevent children from drinking local, untreated water when they are out in the street.
By installing a water pump or well with us, you are helping hundreds of people stay safe and healthy for many years.
