Pakistan Skardu Challenge I Kadeeja Treks Skardu to Help Bring Clean Water to Communities in Need

All to raise crucial funds for communities without access to clean water.

This year, I’m taking on the adventure of a lifetime: trekking through the breathtaking mountains of Skardu, Pakistan — all to raise crucial funds for communities without access to clean water.

While this 7-day trek will challenge me physically and mentally, it is nothing compared to the daily struggles faced by millions of people around the world who lack access to safe, drinkable water.

Through this challenge, I’ve committed to raising $3,000 in support of Islamic Relief Canada’s Water for Life Project. Every step I take in Skardu will help bring clean water to families who currently walk hours each day just to find it — often from unsafe or contaminated sources.

What Your Donation Supports

Your donation will help Islamic Relief Canada provide life-saving, sustainable clean water solutions, including:

Deep water wells that serve entire communities
Solar-powered water filtration and pumping systems
Rainwater harvesting units for schools and homes
Emergency water trucking in crisis situations
Hygiene and sanitation training to prevent disease

Your support doesn’t just offer relief — it offers health, dignity, and opportunity for generations to come.

About Islamic Relief’s Water for Life Work

Islamic Relief is working globally to build long-term, reliable water solutions that help communities thrive. From Somalia to Pakistan to Yemen, their projects are designed to be community-led, environmentally sustainable, and tailored to local needs.

Whether it’s rebuilding a water system after disaster or providing clean water to a remote village for the first time — your donation is a part of that transformation.

Why This Matters

Today, over 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. This crisis is fueling disease, hunger, and poverty — especially for women and children who bear the burden of collecting water daily.

By supporting my Skardu Challenge, you're helping end that cycle. You’re giving a child the chance to go to school, a mother the means to care for her family, and a community the foundation to grow and prosper.
