| Every year, water
related diseases kill three million people, most of them children.
For many of the world’s 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. |

125
million children around the world do not have the chance of
going to school. 
Poor
people are often powerless to influence decisions taken by their
own governments. Islamic Aid gives poor people a voice.
