Amina's Ramadan Half Marathon
raised of £2,200 GBP goal
Running the total length of a half marathon whilst fasting to raise funds to build three water wells.
This March, I was planning to run the Palestine Marathon (I'm not a runner) to raise funds to provide clean and safe water to needed communities. Unfortunately, this was postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Instead, I will now be running the length of the half marathon (that's approx 21km or 13 miles) through the streets of Manchester... during Ramadan 🤯
🚨 Over 800 million people around the world don't have access to clean water. Now more than ever, this basic human right is critical. Millions of children and adults are forced to spend hours every day collecting water from filthy rivers, water which is unhygienic and not fit for use, causing thousands to die every year from typhoid, cholera and other preventable diseases. 🚨
Salam Charity is on the ground building life-saving water wells, installing water pumps and distributing clean safe water through our WishingWell initiative, providing sustainable drinking sources for generations to come.
I hope to raise enough funds to support the build of water wells in areas desperately needing them in some of the world's most impoverished areas
Breakdown of water well costs
- Standard water well in Bangladesh, Pakistan - £350
- Deep water well in Bangladesh, Pakistan - £1,000
- 2,500 bottles of water in Syria - £1,000
- Deep water well in Indonesia, Yemen - £1,500
- Water Tanker (200 litres) in Palestine - £5,000
Times are uncertain and strange at the moment, so however much you can support me with this will be gratefully received and appreciated.
All donations are Zakat applicable. I will also be posting updates of my running/walking/crawling regularly.
Please note: I will most likely be splitting the 21km into 2 runs of 10km & 11km to ensure I'm running as safely as possible.

Final Update
This month, I set out to raise £1,000 to build water pumps in Pakistan by running the length of a half marathon whilst fasting.
I completed the fasted half marathon in two runs of 12km and 10km, running a total of 22.1km, in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we have now raised over £2,200 - enough to build the following:
- one water well in Yemen (which is currently facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis)
- two water pumps in Pakistan
The build of these water facilities will begin in June, and I will be very excited to share progress and completion pictures, if anyone wants to see these.
Thank you so much for your support and donations - these wells and pumps are going to provide clean and safe water to thousands... for drinking, cleaning, cooking and so much more.

If you want to get in touch with me about your donation or the water wells/pumps, please drop me an email at amina.m@live.co.uk
Stay safe, and thank you once again!
