End water poverty – Give water, give life


END WATER POVERTY – Give water, give life

Access to clean water is a very basic human right, yet the lack of it is killing one child every 90 seconds. 748 million¹ people don’t have proper access to clean drinking water, that’s 1 in 10 people¹. Together, we can put an end to water poverty.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best charity is giving water to drink.” [Ahmad]

 

WATER FOR AMSALI

Amsali and her little sister are unable to go to school because they have to collect water for their family. They walk for miles across the harsh desert, where they are extremely vulnerable to abuse from strangers.

If they do return safely from their journey, the water they have collected is likely to be infected with deadly diseases such as typhoid and cholera.

But Amsali isn’t alone. There are nearly 1 billion people who don’t have access to clean water.

Help us protect children like Amsali.
Help us end water poverty.
