Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On the authority of Sa‘d ibn ’Ubadah (ra) who said, ’I asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is best?” He [saw] replied, “Providing water”’. (Ibn Majah)
We are 2 uni students who want to make a real difference this Ramadan, therefore we are raising money for Al Mustafa Welfare Trust to build a Water Purification Plant in a community in Pakistan facing severe water shortages.
Water is one of the most basic necessities of human life, but unfortunately, millions of people are trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease due to not having access to clean drinking water.
Some of the benefits of providing clean water are:
- Stopping the spread of diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid and Diarrhoea which kill millions of people every year
- Keeping everyone healthy
- Supporting children to go to school
- Women no longer spend hours collecting water, so they can work and raise their families
- Families do not spend extra money on medical bills from getting ill due to drinking dirty water
- Women and children are safer as they are not walking for hours across miles of dangerous terrain in search of water which is often carrying disease
It is not just about quenching thirst; it is what creates jobs and helps communities to lift themselves out of poverty. It’s a Sadaqah Jariyah that continues to give, and continues to bless the giver for as long as it’s in use. Please donate to this noble cause and change the future of an entire community, and reap the rewards of this blessed act, year after year.
The Purification plants use a system of reverse osmosis, and advanced technology. It begins by taking in unfiltered water through a low-pressure feed pump, in the process of pre-filtration. It cleanses the water of any turbidity, sand & any other dust particles that may be present. Then the water, through multi stage pumps, passes from high pressure in membranes, and all the unwanted dissolved solids are separated from the water. They are sent into a drain via the waste water line, while the clean water is stored in product water tank. The system and the clean water tank are verified in accordance with World Health Organisation standards. An Ultra Violet lamp is installed in the product water line to make the water free from bacteria. This Reverse Osmosis plant provides 2,000 litres fresh and clean water every hour.
At Al Mustafa Welfare Trust, we believe that clean water is a right for everyone and we are committed to making sure it is! From water pumps to water purification plants, we are making sure that families all over the globe are drinking fresh water, without fear of waterborne diseases. Our water projects are currently active in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma, where our teams on the ground are diligently working to dig wells equip with hassle free water pumps, set up water purification plants to filter clean water to rural communities and using sunlight to provide clean, safe water for everyone.
