During the last 10 days of Ramadan, help provide clean and safe drinking water to those in need. The gift of a tube well can provide 1000s of people with a new life.
The Last 10 Days of Ramadan Build A Water Well
As-Salamu Alaykum,
During the last 10 days of Ramadan, help provide families with clean and safe drinking water and relief their thirst. Giving water is giving life. Millions of people around the world lack access to safe water. When you build a well with Islamic Relief Canada you’re ensuring a basic human right: clean and safe drinking water for all.
Imagine if getting a drink of water wasn’t as simple as turning on your tap.
Imagine a life where you had to walk for miles to a dirty river and fill canteens with polluted water to bring back for your family.
Imagine that you had to do this nearly every day and that the entire community depended on you to bring back water for them to drink and cook with.
This is the harsh reality for women and children in developing countries around the world.
Building a water well will reduce illness and death from waterborne diseases. Ensure children go to school instead of traveling miles to fetch water. Help grow crops for poor people to eat and even sell for a living. Enable people to perform wudu for prayer. Giving water is not just water. You are giving someone a new life.
Giving water is Aa Sadaqah Jariyah. The best form of Sadaqah Jariyah is giving someone water to drink. [Ahmad]
Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah reported: I said, ‘Which charity is the best?’ The Prophet (PBUH) said, “A drink of water."
Donate for the Sake of Allah SWT. During this Ramadan, the reward for every good deed is multiplied by 70. If you donate during the last 10 days of Ramadan and it falls on Laylat Al-Qadr it is as if you donated for 83 years. The blessings of this month is immense. May Allah SWT accept from me and you Ameen. JazakAllah Khair.
Islamic Relief Canada's Clean Water for Life Program
The best charity is giving water
A staggering 785 million people are going thirsty each and every day. Without safe and clean water to drink, these people risk dehydration, disease and at worse: death.
How your water donation changes lives
When you donate water wells, not only does it act as a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) but you also help communities facing water scarcity access clean and safe water. Your generous donations are helping us to reach over 200,000 people through over 100 water wells, hand pumps, and water infrastructure to provide clean water for life.
We support communities across the globe in a variety of ways, including:
Offering life-saving clean water to thousands of students by installing water tanks at various schools in Sudan
Installing drip irrigation systems in Ethiopia to support agro pastoral farmers
Ensuring that families can directly access clean water by drilling and installing hand pump water wells in their homes
Creating water management committees and providing local community members with the training to manage their community’s water systems
Water Charity: Sustainable sources of clean water
Here at Islamic Relief, we’re working worldwide in over 40 countries across the globe to ensure that not only do communities have a safe and reliable source of water for today, but for life too.
When we build a water system, we ensure communities have a sustainable source of clean water for years to come.
We bypass short-term interventions and high running costs to instead provide long-term sustainable solutions; installing irrigation systems, building water tanks, training communities, distributing hygiene kits and rehabilitating viable water systems.
Help us to provide men, women and children clean and safe water, an essential we all take for granted.
