donation for clean water :
donation for clean water : Clean water is a vital source for survival for basic human needs such as drinking, cooking and cleaning. Over the years, with Waqf share returns, here are some of the water projects we have supported.
Donations for clean water hold immense importance for several reasons:
1.Basic Human Need:
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right essential for life, health, and dignity. Donations for clean water help ensure that communities, especially those in underserved or marginalized areas, have access to safe and potable water for drinking, cooking, sanitation, and hygiene.
2. Health and Well-being:
Contaminated water sources can lead to waterborne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid, which pose significant health risks, particularly to children and vulnerable populations. Donations for clean water support initiatives such as well construction, water purification systems, and sanitation facilities, thereby improving public health and reducing the incidence of water-related illnesses.
3. Poverty Alleviation:
Lack of access to clean water perpetuates poverty by limiting economic opportunities, productivity, and development potential. Donations for clean water contribute to poverty alleviation efforts by improving access to water for agriculture, livestock, and small-scale enterprises, empowering communities to become more self-reliant and economically stable.
4.Education and Empowerment:
In many regions, especially in developing countries, women and children bear the primary responsibility for fetching water, often traveling long distances and spending hours each day on this task. Access to clean water frees up time and resources, particularly for girls, enabling them to attend school, pursue education, and participate more fully in community life, thus empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential.
5. Environmental Sustainability:
Donations for clean water support sustainable water well sadaqah jariyah management practices that protect and preserve freshwater resources for future generations. By investing in water conservation, watershed protection, and ecosystem restoration initiatives, donors contribute to the long-term sustainability of water supplies and ecosystems, mitigating the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation.
6. Humanitarian Relief:
In times of natural disasters, conflicts, or humanitarian crises, access to clean water becomes even more critical for the survival and well-being of affected populations. Donations for clean water enable humanitarian organizations to provide emergency water, sanitation, and hygiene assistance, saving lives, preventing disease outbreaks, and restoring dignity to those in need.

A water Waqf share only costs £150 ($200/ €175). We safely invest this amount and use the profits to implement water projects such as these.
To continue your cycle of Sadaqah Jariyah in a more sustainable way, we also reinvest some of your profits. This way we can continue funding water projects like these and more throughout the years.
A cycle of Sadaqah Jariyah begins, when you share a portion of your wealth.
