Salam ladies!

The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are upon us and the Prophet (saw) said, ‘There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these (ten) days’. [Abu Dawud]

Some of the best of good deeds are helping the needy. Alhamdullilah, we are so excited to be collectively fundraising for a Water Well project through Human Concern International (HCI).

If we meet our fundraising goal, by the grace of Allah, a water well will be built on behalf of us all in a needy community in Asia! All funds collected will be going towards water projects.

Water wells are a great form of Sadaqah Jariyah. This is a continuous, flowing and ongoing charity. It is a blessed form of charity that offers us ongoing rewards throughout our lives in this world, as well as in the Hereafter.

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim)

Our fundraising goal is $1500 for the water well + $150 to cover the 10% administrative fees that is necessary to implement these projects!

We’re so excited to have you join us in fundraising for this very important and special project. Any amount helps!

May Allah (swt) accept on behalf of all of us! Ameen.

More information on HCI’s water projects:
Clean water is essential to life. It is estimated that 663 million people are without access which has a direct impact on health, education, and economic opportunity.

Donating to the construction of water systems in afflicted communities keeps children in school, protects the young and the old from disease, and empowers men and women to raise livestock and agriculture to sustain their needs.

Life revolves around water,
The same thing that provides our lives with comfort is limiting the quality of life for millions worldwide — water.

Each year, 443 million school days are lost from water-related challenges and illnesses. Dirty drinking water kills 1000 children daily through diarrhea, typhoid, cholera, dysentery and other water-borne illnesses. That means more people die every year… Lack of access to the clean drinking water means a less prosperous community. 

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of clean drinking water. Access to clean water keeps children in school, prevents early death, and reduces poverty by enabling communities to build an economy and agriculture for trade and sustenance. 

Human Concern International is on the ground in the most drought-stricken areas to provide vulnerable communities with clean drinking water. To ensure that WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) programs are tenable, we work with local partners who are more intimate with the challenges of their communities to find and implement practical and effective solutions.
