FI’SABIL’ILLAH UK has finalised its latest project which will be the construction of 2 community water wells.  The 1st community water well will be located in Mali and the 2nd will be located in Indian Occupied Kashmir (also known as Jammu and Kashmir).

 

The community water wells will be constructed in areas where there is currently no access to clean and safe water supplies for the local community, including those of the surrounding areas.  The local people currently have to walk long distances to find a source of water for their daily needs and this source will often not be clean and safe. 

 

The communities of both areas have requested support in the construction of a community water well.  Unfortunately, neither community has the finances to build a community water well and have requested our financial assistance to do so. 

 

The total beneficiaries of the community water well in Mali would be 40 families or around 300 people and in Indian Occupied Kashmir it would be around 1,100 people.

 

The cost of each community water well is expected to be in the region of £2,100 or £4,200 in total for both.

 

The construction of a community water well is a way for a person to earn blessings in this Dunya and a way to continue to earn blessings in the Akhirah.  The Prophet Muhammed (صلى الله عليه وسلم‎) said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.” [Ahmad]

​

The benefit of the construction of the community water wells can be summarised as follows:

 

• It will permit easy access to safe water sources for the communities for their daily consumption via a protected water well;

• It will reduce the diseases linked to unsafe water in the communities;

• It will reduce the difficulty on the population, predominately women and children, of going long distances to find water sources; and

• It will improve the communities’ health condition and permit an economic and social boost.
