Fundraising for Penny Appeal
Story
We're a mother-daughter team that climbed Ben Nevis on Sunday 25th August 2019 in aid of a Penny Appeal campaign to build wells in poor rural communities in Asia and Africa.
Our original goal was to raise £900 to build 3 wells. With the incredibly generous and kind support of our donors, we've funded an amazing 7 wells. A huge Thank you to everyone who supported us and donated, we could not have done this without you.
And if you haven't donated, we're just £86.37 away from the 8th well and you can still be a huge part of this incredible cause!
This has been a great opportunity to give Zakat during Ramadan and Sadaqa Jaariya outside Ramadan - ongoing charity. You can donate your Sadaqa and still even fund a whole well and dedicate it in memory of loved/lost ones.
- £300 = 1 well
- £150 = 1/2 well
- £30 = 1/10 well
The Impact of Building Wells
When we build a well in a community that has never had access to clean water, we save lives, reduce illness and provide a pathway out of poverty.
Reliable access to safe, clean water means that drinking, cooking, washing, watering crops and animals and making wudu no longer pose a risk of illness.
It means that women and children don’t have to walk for miles to collect – often dirty – water. (The average is 3.7 miles.)
It means that people stay healthy, grow their own food, have time for children to go to school or for women to start their own businesses.
Clean water charity is so important to us as Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) once said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.” (Ahmad)
THAT is what your water well charity can do!
So please donate generously!
