Why Donate water in Ramadan?

Providing water is a highly praised charity in Islam. Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: he asked, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “Water.” (Sunan Abi Dawud 1681; graded ḥasan). Sunnah

Where we build and how we deliver

We prioritise water-scarce districts in Pakistan where shallow groundwater is viable and safe when filtered. Sites are surveyed; a local committee maintains each pump. We share completion photos, with locality, and a short report with donors.

Zakat and Sadaqah Jariyah

Both tiers are Zakat-applicable where the funds directly benefit eligible recipients through essential needs, and always valid as sadaqah jariyah. If you intend Zakat, select “Zakat” at checkout and we’ll allocate accordingly. You can also work out your Zakat Here

What your donation changes

Closer water points reduce time lost to water collection, improve hygiene, and help families focus on worship, school and livelihoods. Evidence suggests safe, reliable water access is associated with lower diarrhoeal disease and better wellbeing. washdata.org

Facts about Pakistan mortality figures
Estimates for annual deaths from waterborne disease in Pakistan vary widely by method and year. I cannot confirm a precise current “100,000 deaths/year” figure from a primary official source. Evidence is clear on a high burden, but exact annual counts are uncertain. PMC
