Every year, water related diseases kill three million people, most of them children.
For many of the worlds poorest women and children, water collection is an
exhausting daily burden that saps time and energy. And tragically, half of all people
in developing countries have no access to clean, safe drinking water. Islamic Aid
helps people build and maintain clean water systems like wells, hand pumps,
tube-wells. We help provide the training and resources and communities make their
contribution in labour, and take responsibility for the operation and maintenance.
The goal of these projects is to improve access to water and reduce the health risks
of water-related diseases. When a family can access a ready supply of clean water
there is more time and energy for work to increase both food and income, and more
time for children to go to school.
