Qassim Kilimanjaro trek 2022
Qassim Ali is raising money for Human Appeal
Story
On August 1st 2022, I will be trekking Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world. I am both excited and humbled to be taking on the most difficult challenge of my life. This gruelling trek will take me almost 20,000 ft above sea level, testing my mind and body to the limit of what is possible.
Why am I doing this crazy feat? I have come together with a team of others, to work alongside Human Appeal UK, to raise £20,000 to provide a village of 1000 people with clean water in Pakistan.
5000 children day every day from drinking dirty water. 844 million people lack basic drinking water access, that is more than 1 out of every 10 people on the planet. Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours hauling water every day.
It is in our coming together that we can make a life changing difference. We may never meet the one who drinks this clean water but just imagine the joy and smiles on their faces when they drink clean water for the first time.
The best charity is to give water – Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
£20 can give 1 person water for life
£60 can give 3 people water for life
£100 can give 5 people water for life
£200 can give 10 people water for life
Your donation will enable Human Appeal UK to implement a solar water supply scheme and food security programme for 1000 people in Tharparkar, the 5th largest desert in Sindh, Pakistan,
The villages in Tharparkar have not had access to clean water for almost 200 years. Women and young children take up to several hours a day, in the blazing heat, to collect water from open contaminated wells. This same water leads to the deaths of thousands of children in Tharparkar.
As part of the solar water supply scheme, an advanced solar powered water well that works all day, will be pumping 10,000 gallons of water every 45 minutes. This will enable access to clean water for 1000 people 24 hours a day, meeting not only their drinking needs but also for domestic usage and livestock.
The solar water supply scheme will also have:
Water supply lines extended to the doorstep of the
villager’s homes,
Agricultural tools and climate smart agricultural
seeds,Farming training and support to grow local vegetables, establishing domestic kitchen gardens to meet nutritional & dietary needs, saving hundreds of lives from malnutrition each year,
Together we can provide the gift of clean water and be a part of saving lives and raising smiles.
