Below is a summary of what we have achieved collectively:
Summary of 2025 Projects
1. Tanzania: 4 borewells serving 22,470 beneficiaries across 4 villages
Four borewells were constructed across the Tanga region, at Kwa Lukonge village, Majani Mapana village, Magamba Dispensary, and Handeni Village (Tewe). Prior to these installations, communities faced severe hardship with residents walking up to seven kilometres to reach water sources that were often contaminated by livestock or unreliable due to seasonal changes.
The impact has been profound. Waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery have significantly reduced, and women who once spent entire days fetching water can now focus on their families, livelihoods, and health. At Magamba Dispensary in particular, the borewell has transformed healthcare provision, enabling safe deliveries and basic medical procedures that were previously impossible without a reliable water supply.
2. Uganda: 30 water wells serving 22,000 beneficiaries across 5 districts
Thirty hand-pump water wells were completed across five districts in Eastern Uganda: Kaberamaido, Amuria, Soroti, Kaberapyong, and Serere. Before these wells were built, communities relied on unsafe and distant water sources, with families spending four to five hours a day fetching water – time that kept children, especially girls, out of school, and drained family incomes.
That journey is now reduced to just 30 minutes. The wells are already delivering visible results: fewer cases of waterborne disease, women reclaiming time to earn incomes and tend kitchen gardens, and children attending school consistently.
3. Pakistan: 6 storage tanks serving 8,500 beneficiaries across 3 provinces
Six large-capacity water storage tanks were constructed across three provinces: two in Gilgit Baltistan (Bagardu and Khordu), three in Punjab (Mari Indus, Paki Shah Mardan, and Sara-e-Muhajir), and one in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Parachinar).
These tanks store water drawn from pumps and natural springs, providing a regulated and continuous supply where communities previously endured frequent shortages particularly difficult during harsh winters and dry seasons. The project has reduced the daily burden on women and children, improved hygiene and sanitation, and supported students and worshippers in accessing water for everyday needs and religious practice. All six tanks are now fully operational and community-managed.
4. Kenya: 5 solar water wells serving 2,000+ beneficiaries across 5 schools
Five solar-powered water wells were installed at Makunda Muslim Primary School, Musango Muslim Primary School, Kimkasa School, St. Stephen School, and Eldama Ravine Prison. Solar power was chosen to ensure the wells remain fully operational without reliance on electricity infrastructure, providing a sustainable and low-maintenance solution. Communities that previously walked two to three kilometres for water can now access clean water on their doorstep. School attendance has improved as children no longer need to fetch water before class. At Eldama Ravine Prison, the installation has enabled Muslim inmates to carry out religious purification practices with dignity. All five wells are fully operational.
Inshallah we look forward to renewed fundraising efforts for 2026 to contribute towards further water projects across the globe.
Every drop of water delivered is a testament to our community’s compassion and commitment.
