On 22nd March every year, we celebrate World Water Day, a basic necessity for survival. Can you imagine living a day without having access to safe and drinkable water? 2.2 billion People do. There is a world where clean water, essential for survival, is a blessing many can't access. This is a harsh reality for countless people around the world.
Around 3.6 million people die from water related diseases every year. Out of these, 2.2 million are children. Al Mustafa Welfare Trust is witnessing this hardship firsthand in Africa, Pakistan, Palestine, Yemen and many other countries. On this World Water Day, let’s raise the awareness for the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water and donate water for life.
Water Scarcity: A Global Challenge
Water scarcity is not a local problem but a global challenge and it is getting worse every single day. With the increase of human population worldwide, the availability of freshwater resources is dwindling, leading to severe consequences for both people and the environment. Millions of families around the world are using contaminated water sources on a daily basis which is causing waterborne diseases and illness, especially in children. This is the reality for many in the regions we serve.
Water Crisis in Pakistan
Pakistan is a country blessed with many rivers but yet facing severe water crisis in many remote villages. Clean water is a distant dream for many families. Women and children in these areas often bear the brunt where they are spending hours and walking miles to collect drinkable clean water. Even after, the water they find is often contaminated, putting families' health at risk. Spending hours every day leading to lost educational opportunities and health concerns.
Water Injustice in Palestine
Due to the ongoing war and long-lasting blockade, Palestinian families in Gaza are struggling to get clean drinking water. Many innocent children in Gaza bear the brunt of this crisis the most, where their innocent smiles are dimmed by the unspoken plea for help. This World Water Day urges us for the urgent need for action and compassion. Help Gaza by donating water tanks to support innocent Palestinian families.
