Usama Yafai is raising money for Human Relief Foundation
Story
One out of five deaths in children under five is as a result contracting of a water-related disease. This is due to them not having sufficient access to clean water.
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. In 2013, unsafe water is still one of the world’s biggest killers.
I am raising money to build deep water well in Ghana to provide sanitary water InshaAllah.
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.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)." [Muslim].
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Wealth is not diminished by giving (in charity). Allah augments the honour of one who forgives; and one who displays humbleness towards another seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah exalts him in ranks." [Muslim].

P.s. It is really important to keep in mind that even though giving charity is important to help those in need, our work to help them should not stop at giving charity, since charity has its limitations and can only take us so far in solving this issue.
