In November 2021, 14 fundraisers will be heading out to the Himalayas, for a gruelling 12 day trek to Mount Everest Basecamp, reaching over 18,000ft.

Why am are we doing this crazy feat? A group of 14 passionate people and myself will come together, to work alongside Human Appeal, to raise £70,000 to provide a Smart Village in one of the most deprived areas in the world.

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.

£35 can give 1 person water for life

£105 can give 3 people water for life

£175 can give 5 people water for life

£350 can give 10 people water for life

Your donation will contribute towards the construction of a Smart Village in one of the most deprived areas in the world, Tharpakar in Sindh, Pakistan, the 5th largest desert in the world.

Our collective donations of £35,000 will enable Human Appeal to implement a fully integrated water, health and food security and livelihoods programmes for 1000 people in Tharpakar, Pakistan.

These villages 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 Tharpakar.

The advanced solar powered water well works all day, pumping 10,000 gallons of water every 45 minutes. This enables 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 integrated village will also have:

Water supply lines extended to the doorstep of the villager’s homes,

Solar powered lights throughout the village,

Purpose built toilet facilities,

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,

A pair milking goats for any widowed women,

Livestock management training,

Vaccinations and deworming of all existing livestock,

Fodder for all animals.

Together we can provide the gift of clean water and be a part of saving lives and raising smiles.

Lastly, regular feedback throughout the construction phase of the smart village will be given, culminating with a final project completion report.

P.S This is a zakat applicable project, please state ZAKAT in comment section when donating zakat.
