Sadaqah Jariyah

The Gift That Rewards Forever.

Translating from Arabic to ‘ongoing charity’, Sadaqah Jariyah is the idea of giving a continuous contribution towards a project of which the benefits can be felt for generations to come, even after we’re gone! Penny Appeal’s specially thought out Sadaqah Jariyah projects allow you to do exactly that, reaping the rewards of your good deeds forever. 


Fatima's Story

After previously having to walk for miles to retrieve water that could be deadly, Fatima and her entire community in Somalia, can now collect clean water with confidence, empowering her and her sisters to break the generational curse. Families throughout this community can benefit from this Solar Power and Water Centre for generations to come - Alhamdulillah! This is the incredible impact of Sadaqah Jariyah.
