Please help create wells in Somalia and Sudan for those in need.


What is my mission?

This past March, I had the incredible opportunity to visit The Gambia to see first hand the impact that well building has had on communities. We were shown the wells built in various villages and spoke to the locals to hear firsthand about the impact well building has had on their families. We visited orphanages and spoke and played with the children to see how our donations have helped them work towards their full potentials. I am helping to raise funds for well building with your support in the countries of Sudan and Somalia with Penny Appeal. As human beings we have the responsibility to help those in need if by any means, so every dollar counts. 


"Today, there are around 2.4 billion people who do not use improved sanitation, and 663 million who do not have access to improved water sources" (UNICEF).


With your help we will be able to build 4 wells: 2 in Sudan and 2 in Somalia. This is a Sadaqa Jariyah: meaning it is a charity that is continuous and ongoing - for many generations to come. Not only will you benefit, but so will so many communities. 

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, “When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.”  (Sahih Muslim)

Support Water System in Yemen for this Ramadan - Sadaqa Jaariyah

Assalamu alaikum, 


You helped to build 3 wells in Somalia and Yemen in 2019. This year, we're working on rebuilding a damaged water system in Yemen.


Due to conflict in the region, the current water source infrastructure has been affected. Islamic Relief Canada will rehabilitate these water systems by including components to make them more sustainable:

submersible pumps, drop pipes, drop cable, operation system (solar system), water tank, pumping pipeline and distribution pipes.


https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/rada_for_yemen#!/ 


This project will be starting mid 2021 and will take 18 months to complete. The completion of this project will directly benefit over 1,500 households in Sana’a. Other beneficiaries also include local engineers, construction workers, community leaders, local authority members, and suppliers. After the rehabilitation process, the water system will be functional for 10-15 years!


JazakaAllah,

Rada
