Campaign Story
Bangladesh is the eighth-most populous country in the world, with a population of over 164 million. Despite such a large number, major parts of the country don’t have the ability to access clean drinking water and even today, many drink water from sources that are extremely unhygenic.
Over 4.9 million people in Bangladesh still do not have clean water close to home. Over 73 million people in Bangladesh – two in five – use contaminated water. Over a 1,000+ children under 5 die from diarrhoea each year. This is primarily caused by dirty water and poor toilets.
This is Phase 2 of the water well project in Bangladesh. Alhamdulillah, AlKhairi has already built 40 water wells in Phase 1. The wells aim to provide a family access to clean drinking water for cooking, washing and most essentially drinking.
This campaign focuses on providing water well across rural villages in Bangladesh, along with periodic maintenance to ensure the well is properly maintained for the use of the communities. The water well is guaranteed to last 25 years and it can serve multiple family generations InshaAllah.
Donations to this campaign will be used to build wells that give access to safe drinking water, improved sanitation, and hygiene practices for poor families in Bangladesh.
Let us come together and help the poor and underprivileged in Bangladesh with the gift of water. Just RM10 can go a long way in changing their lives and bringing smiles on their faces. We invite people to donate as a family so it is as though your family is giving a gift of a well to another poor family in Bangladesh.
Sa’ad ibn Ubadah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “A drink of water.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.” [Muslim]
Even if you cannot sponsor an entire well, your donations will be used to support the existing wells and help in their maintenance.
