Story
Water is the key to all life. Yet across the globe, a staggering 785 million people are going thirsty each and every day. Without safe and clean water to drink, these people risk dehydration, disease and at worse: death.
Somalia has an average annual rainfall of just 300mm.
Without access to basic water and sanitation services, there is no supply for drinking, cooking, cleaning, farming and there is a poor practice of good hygiene as well as danger of water-borne diseases like diarrhoea and cholera.
Islamic Relief will drill and equip one new borehole to improve access to safe clean water to 3,000 drought-affected vulnerable people.
The borehole system will be fitted with a solar powered generator pumping fresh water from deep underground and storing it in a secure water tank above the ground, with two separate access points for people and livestock.
Providing Water is the ultimate Sadaqah Jariyah
The best Charity is giving water to drink and he was the most generous in giving water (Ahmad)
Here at Islamic Relief, we're working worldwide in over 40 countries across the globe to ensure that not only do communities have a safe and reliable source of water for today, but for life too.
By donating to this challenge, you will help provide clean and safe water to families in desperate need.
