Embark on the journey of a lifetime! The Makkah to Madinah Cycle Challenge is an unforgettable adventure covering over 500km through the sacred lands of Saudi Arabia—all in aid of the Emergency Palestine Appeal.

Story

Our Mum, Salma Akhtar Baqir, passed away on the 2nd June 2025 aged 80 years old.

For my Makkah to Medina cycle challenge I will be raising funds to install a water filtration plant in Pakistan which will be a Sadaqah for my Mother.

Islamic Relief is working with communities in Pakistan to install water filtration plants that serve entire communities. installed to clean water before it's take from the tap, ensuring water is safe for consumption.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked: "Which charity is best?" He replied: "Providing water."

The funds you help raise will not only serve as Sadaqah for my Mother but also provide clean water and hope and dignity to countless families struggling to survive.

£2,500 can provide 50 people in Pakistan with clean Water For Life

Pakistan is amongst the most water-stressed countries in the world. Only 36% of the population has access to safe water, a problem that will likely get worse in the coming years due to rapid population and urbanisation, as well as global warming, which is rapidly depleting the country’s primary water source—seasonal snow and ice melt from the mountains.

Those who do have access to water are often drinking contaminated water, which is then resulting in many waterborne diseases such as cholera, guinea worm disease, typhoid, and dysentery. This is a direct result of issues such as damaged distribution lines from main tube well & storage tanks that are cracked and external contaminants from sewage lines.
