17.7 million people in Pakistan still live without clean water. Now, more than ever, they need your help to stay hydrated and survive in their extreme weather conditions. There are so many ways to transform lives in Pakistan and reap the blessings of Sadaqah Jariyah for years to come. Help contribute towards the installation of a deep water well/water pump and be responsible for a whole community having clean water. Today, 2.2 billion people dont have reliable access to safe drinking water thats 1 in 3 people. Collectively, women and girls spend 200 million hours every day collecting water thats time they should be able to spend at school, earning money, or looking after crops and livestock. Nobody should be trapped in a cycle of poverty because theyre forced to spend their entire life fetching water just to survive.
