Israt's Ben Nevis 'Walk for Water' Campaign
Fundraising for Penny Appeal
Story
On the 24th & 25th of August, many people across the UK including myself will take on Ben Nevis in aid of PennyAppeal. The money raised can help us build wells, care for orphans, deliver urgent medical aid and healthcare, provide nutritious meals, open schools, orphanages and mosques.
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. There’s no limit on fundraising, raise more and we can build more wells for you and reach more people in need.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
Through your generous support:
- £300 = 1 well
- £150 = 1/2 well
- £30 = 1/10 well
This is a great opportunity to give Sadaqa Jaariya - ongoing charity, You can donate your Zakat, Sadaqa, and even fund a whole well and dedicate it in memory of loved/lost ones.
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!
