Salaam! We are going to hike Kinder Scout, the highest point of the Peak District with the aim of fundraising to supply clean water to homes in Gaza.

The situation in Palestine is unbearable for many. Gaza has been described as an open-air prison with 97% of water in Gaza is unfit for human consumption. The 2021 attacks in Gaza destroyed large part of Gaza's infrastructure where water and sanitation systems were destroyed leaving residents without safe access to water. 

The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. It has a population of approximately 2.1 million people and since 2007 it has been under a land, sea and air blockade imposed by Israel. Ongoing power shortages impact essential services like health, water and sanitation leaving people desperate.

Water, sanitation and hygiene are amongst the top humanitarian priorities in the Gaza Strip as the water resources are under considerable stress and demands exceed supplies. We are hiking to help supply homes in Gaza with clean and safe water, giving families a chance to survive against water bourne diseases. 

Any donations would be greatly appreciated - May Allah reward you immensely!
