Assalamualaikum (peace be upon you all),

Thanks for taking the time to visit. This is a group pledge by students from Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh and Napier universities.

We have made a pledge to raise £25,000 for Human Appeal International to build a water desalination plant on the Gaza coastline for the entire population. The plant will provide over 600,000 people with safe water, whilst providing employment for the local community. 

Over 90% of the water from Gaza’s sole aquifer is unfit to drink – even for animals. Contagions in the water are causing disease and health disorders, such as renal failure, high blood pressure and osteoporosis, while most families are using up to a third of their income to buy water from unregulated vendors. Sadly, this is also often contaminated. 

Moreover, Gaza is now under even more serious water threat after Israeli air strikes that have "wrecked the water and sewage system and the whole strip is threatened with a water crisis within days."

So please, contribute any amount you can. Let us all help the people of Gaza in every possible way. Big or little, every donation counts!

Jazakumullahu khairan (May the Almighty recompense you with goodness)!
