We just climbed Mount Toubkal to raise money for Water 4 Life!

We first trekked around 6 miles from the village of Imlil to base camp and completing half the elevation. Torrential rain kicked in around halfway through but we pushed on and spent a chilly night in tents, warmed by some lovely food our guides provided.

The summit push started in the pitch black at 2am and only half the group made it up, with some people dropping out due to the high altitude and steep climb. It was rocky and scary, but we reached the highest point in North Africa by around 8am!

785 million people around the globe do not have access to clean water. Islamic Relief is working worldwide in over 40 countries to ensure that communities have a safe and reliable source of water for life.

The gift of water saves lives. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran "And whosoever saves one [a life] it is as if he has saved all of mankind" (Quran 5:32)
