Nigeria Borehole Water Well 2020 Appeal
Imagine you had to walk 2km to get access to clean water, each and every day? Subhan'Allah how we take the huge blessing of getting water from a turn of a tap for granted...
Muslim Council of Hong Kong are partnering with SRF to build a borehole water well in order to provide clean water for one of the forgotten communities of Mambilla Plateau, the highest region in Nigeria! Mambilla Plateau has an average elevation of about 1,600 metres above sea level, that is higher than Ben Nevis 1345m (the highest mountain in the UK)!
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.”
[Sunan al-Nasai 3664 Hasan (Al-Albani)]
These communities are often forgotten because they are so high up and it is very expensive to send drillers up to build water wells.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
[Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) Sahih Muslim]
