Dirty water is a main stay for approximately 785 million people around the world.

Women and children from this village in Rajanpur lived this reality day in and day out. Wali Shah, storyteller, and poet together with the Muslim Hands team, were on the ground revealing the harrowing details.

They’d spend hours carrying this dirty water back to their villages, only to witness their elderly suffer from kidney diseases and their young experience severe allergic reactions. But they needed water to survive, so they continued drinking this lethal water which was breeding all sorts of life-threatening conditions.

However, since then, kind donors like you stepped in. They decided to commit. To do whatever was in their power to change the situation of this struggling community. Their contributions helped provide them with clean water. Not only did they make Allah (swt) happy, but their efforts changed lives for hundreds of villagers.

Now, this community is thriving. Women no longer spend hours fetching dirty water, children are free from water-borne diseases and entire communities are flourishing. But there are many more people who need clean water and are waiting to be helped.

GIFT WATER, GIFT LIFE

Millions of people around the world lack access to safe water.

In places like Niger, Mali and Pakistan people draw their drinking water from sources such as ponds, rivers and wells which are usually contaminated. Drinking contaminated water leads to water-borne illness such as diarrhoea, cholera, and typhoid which can cause death.

An estimated 485,000 people die each year from diarrhoea due to unsafe drinking water. 

Something as simple as a well can not only rescue families but entire communities from the dangers of unsafe water.

When you build a well with Muslim Hands you're ensuring a basic human right: clean and safe drinking water for all.
