I am doing this fundraising in order to build a Community Well in a country where it is needed most.
Globally, at least 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio which is estimated to cause 502 000 deaths each year. By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas.
Safe and readily available water is important for public health, whether it is used for drinking, domestic use, food production or recreational purposes. The access to clean water from this well will transform the lives of a whole community as it has the ability to serve more than 1,000 people. This particular well will be wide and deep, making it dependable during all seasons. Inshallah the water well will provide enough clean water for families, livestock and crops.
We forget how lucky we are with all the basic amenities and how these people suffer on a daily basis due to the lack of clean water. Please help to raise enough money to build this well, all donations will be greatly appreciated!
