The price paid by poor communities with no access to safe water is huge. Wasted income, lost time and ill-health all have a devastating impact on families. Children in particular suffer, with water- borne diseases being one of the biggest killers of children worldwide.
Tackling the shortages of clean water around the Ummah remains a big challenge. Providing water is a very good way of offering a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) as the donor can expect to reap Allah’s blessings for as long as the well supplies water.
Due to advances in technology, SPOT Project no longer build water well but has instead invested in progressive initiatives such as boreholes. A borehole is a solar powered mechanism which involves drilling deep into the ground to access clean water. The water is then powered up and a tap system is created. The advantages of a borehole make it more sustainable, easily maintained & accessible to all.
