Clean Water Appeal: Better Life Starts with Clean Water
1 in 10 people around the world lack access to clean water, leading to a life full of health complications and poverty. Gift of water is the best Sadaqah Jariyah that promises health, income, and education opportunities to the most impoverished communities.
CLEAN WATER APPEAL
Our Clean Water Initiatives
Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet it is out of reach for millions of people around the world. Sanitation and hygiene are compromised, diseases spread rapidly, and poverty grips the communities forced to live without access to clean water. Our water aid appeal is for people who deserve to live with dignity and good health amid harsh circumstances. We tirelessly work in regions such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Yemen to help people gain access to clean water facilities.
At United Muslims, we believe that charity for clean water is the best Sadaqah Jariyah, having a lasting impact on future generations. When people have access to clean water, they also have access to better health, job opportunities, and education. By donating to our clean water appeal, you are not only alleviating thirst but also contributing to community development. We have a range of safe water projects, from simple hand pump installations to sophisticated water purification plants. Every penny donated to our water aid appeal helps us reach far-flung areas where water is scarce.
Our efforts in the clean water project go beyond the installation of wells, hand pumps, and tankers; we focus on educating communities about the importance of consuming clean water and practicing better sanitation. Women and children are at the centre of our attention, as they often trek miles every day to access clean drinking water. By committing to a small monthly donation of £10 to our clean water appeal, you can support our mission to provide clean water to communities in need and help transform their lives.

OUR COMMITMENT
How can you donate to our clean water appeal?
Water handpumps can be sponsored for £220. These hand pumps can provide clean water for up to 40 families and support their daily needs like drinking, cleaning and farming.
A donation of £550 can help set up a manual water well that serves up to 60 families each. These wells are a lifeline for communities who do not have access to electricity, clean water and other necessities.
You can sponsor an installation of electric water wells for £250 and help 600 individuals get access to clean water every day. The electric water wells are best suited for rural schools, hospitals and mosques.
Our solar powered water wells serve almost 2,000 village residents and can be set up for £2,800. Located inside the village, these wells spare its residents from taking long treks and help children get back to school.
The water purification plant produces 1000 litres of clean water every hour and keeps communities safe from water borne diseases. Each plant can be donated for £5,000.
Water trucking is an emergency response to countries struck by war or natural disasters. Contributions of any size are crucial in sending clean drinking water to countries like Palestine, Syria and Afghanistan.

Palestine, the Beating Heart of Muslim Ummah.
Communities need clean water to thrive and live healthy, fulfilling lives. Often, people with easy access to clean water do not realise how scarce this life-giving natural resource is. Without water, life simply ceases to exist. Nearly 2 billion people around the world lack access to this fundamental human need: clean drinking water. They are forced to drink and use contaminated water, which is one of the leading causes of water-borne diseases and fatalities.
At United Muslims, we believe that clean water means a better life. We work tirelessly in remote areas where the land is dry and resources are scarce. Our wide range of projects is transforming the lives of people, one community at a time. We also focus on safer, sustainable, and long-term solutions that can keep providing communities with clean water, enabling them to truly experience the lasting benefits of improved health, well-being, and economic growth.
Our clean water appeal is Zakat and Sadaqah applicable. As the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The best charity is a gift of water.” We take our commitments seriously and value your trust immensely. Therefore, we uphold full transparency and accountability. Our donors can contribute to one of our water projects and dedicate it to their loved ones as a Sadaqah Jariyah. We share reports and photos so you can see how your generosity is transforming lives in real-time.
We work with local communities in over 18 countries to offer sustainable solutions tailored to their unique needs. Donations to our clean water appeal not only help us bring clean water closer to these communities but also provide employment for local people. Just £10 a month can make a significant impact, supporting our projects around the world. Larger contributions can fund entire water purification plants or solar-powered systems, giving thousands of people access to safe drinking water. Every donation, no matter the size, contributes to a collective effort that has already changed millions of lives.
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.”
