Story
In a small village nestled in the heart of Africa, a young girl named Amina wakes before the sun rises. Her daily task is simple yet daunting: to fetch water for her family. With a worn-out bucket in hand, she walks miles under the scorching sun, her feet aching and her throat parched. The water she finally reaches is murky, shared with animals, and often makes her family sick. But it’s all they have.
Amina’s story is not unique. Across Africa, millions of people face the same struggle every day. Water is life, yet for so many it remains out of reach. But there is hope.
This is where Beacon of Peace steps in — a Majlis Ansarullah UK charity dedicated to bringing clean, safe water to communities in need. By building water wells they are transforming lives one village at a time. And you can be part of this life-changing mission.
Ride4Peace: Pedrobad to Granada (2nd - 6th May 2025)
This May, I will be embarking on an incredible journey—a 5 day cycling event called Ride4Peace from Pedrobad Spain to Granada. With every pedal stroke, I’ll be thinking of Amina and the countless others who walk miles for water. This ride is more than a physical challenge; it’s a symbol of hope, determination and the power of collective action.
The Charity Walk: Waverley (29th June 2025)
But the journey doesn’t stop there. On the 29th of June, I’ll be lacing up my walking shoes for a Charity Walk in Waverley. Every step I take will be a step toward providing clean water for those who need it most.
How You Can Help
You don’t have to cycle hundreds of miles or walk for hours to make a difference. By donating to Beacon of Peace, you can directly support the construction of water wells in Africa. Every dollar raised will go toward ensuring that families like Amina’s no longer have to suffer the burden of water scarcity.
Together, We Can Create Peace
Water is more than a basic necessity—it’s a foundation for peace. When communities have access to clean water, children can go to school instead of walking for hours, women can pursue livelihoods instead of carrying heavy buckets and families can thrive instead of merely surviving.
Join me in supporting Beacon of Peace. Let’s turn the tide on water scarcity and create a brighter, more peaceful future for all.
