Story
1 Hour at a Community Well (Click on link).
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“The best charity is giving water to drink” - Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Hey there,
Last year – 2017, I completed a 10k run (see a photo of medal) in Manchester during Ramadan. The 10k was done while completely fasting – abstaining from all food and liquids, breaking my fast at sunset, around 9:40 pm. Please see link below for further details of last years 10K charity run.

This year I am going one step further, pushing boundaries and need your help and support. This year I will be running the Manchester Half Marathon in Ramadan, again for charity. While completely fasting, until sunset (around 9:20 pm).
Millions of people all over the world do not have access to clean, accessible and affordable drinking water. Anybody who has been abroad to a hot country or even on a hot summers day in the United Kingdom will quickly appreciate the value of accessible clean water. Considering the human body is made up more than 70% water. I believe it is a human right to have access to clean, safe drinking water.
Consider for a moment how vital and central water is to our lives, from daily showers, cups of tea, washing clothes to all the other countless ways water is used. Often water is taken for granted. How different would our lives be if all the taps in our homes stopped working and there was no accessible, clean drinking water?
This is the stark reality faced by millions of people in poverty-stricken countries. Clean water should not be a privilege, but a human right.
Depending on how much money is raised either several tube wells or one deepwater well will be built. Alternatively, a combination of both may be done in order to get maximum benefit for the money you have donated. From when the donations are collected, completing a water well project can take up to approximately 12 months.
I hope you will be part of my journey in making Ramadan 2018 a memorable one and helping to change lives permanently, transforming one village and one community at a time.
Please share this link with family, friends and work colleagues. I am aiming to beat my target with your help and support.
Thank You for reading this page and for all the support you have given in making this journey a success. Please donate whatever you can and share this link. Your donation will go a long way in relieving water poverty now and in the future.

6 years agoThe whole process from building a water well from start to finish after payment is an estimated 9 to 12 months. When the well has been built and functional, a feedback report will be sent so we can see it in action and find out about the people whose lives we've helped to change. Any late donations I receive now, I will donate to Penny Appeal for their other ongoing charitable community projects.

6 years agoA sincere thank you to everyone who donated and has been part of this journey to alleviate water poverty. With a heatwave hitting the UK, we realise even more the importance of water. The money raised is being used to build a water well in Niger. Your donation will mean that there is reliable access to a source of safe, clean water for the communities in that area, this will mean that drinking, cooking, washing, watering crops and animals will no longer pose a risk of illness.
