BUILD A WATER WELL IN GAZA!
The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "The best Sadaqah (charity) is giving water to drink" (Ahmed)
Assalamu Alykum
This Ramadan join our team in building a water well in Gaza and provide clean water access to 7,500 people.
THE SITUATION
Across Gaza, sources of clean, potable water are extremely scarce. Approximately two million Gazans suffer from a shortage of water, which gets exponentially worse during the summer.
Nearly 2 million people in Gaza are affected by widespread water shortages. This includes 983,623 women and 991,428 children who are exposed to numerous public health risks related to poor water quality and poor wastewater collection and treatment.

Over 97% of water extracted in Gaza aquifers is unfit for human conception.
IDRF, currently is building water well systems in Gaza. They’re architecturally unique from the traditional water wells.
The water source from these wells are distributed through piping to support hospitals, schools, agricultural land, public places such as parks, charities, as well as the most vulnerable residential homes.
Additionally, these water sources will be equipped with a chlorine system to clarify the water for safe use.
