Thirst Relief
Give clean water -transform lives for good!
Our blessed Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is reported to have said, “The best form of charity is to give someone water to drink’- Ibn Majah.
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right that is unfortunately not accessible to over 884 million people worldwide. Communities across the globe lack access to clean water for numerous reasons such as drought, climate change, poorly managed infrastructure and even oppression and corruption. Therefore, it becomes even more important to address such issues with intelligent, wisely tailored, sustainable solutions.
This is where our Thirst Relief appeal comes in!
How does Thirst Relief work?
Our Thirst Relief programs are carefully curated to address issues in the most suitable and sustainable way possible. Offering a wide range of sustainable water solutions that you can donate to, Thirst Relief helps impoverished communities across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Your support can make an immense difference, starting from as little as £25 a month.
Building a Well: The Ripple Effect of Your Generosity
Reliable access to safe, clean water transforms lives in more ways than one. It means that drinking, cooking, washing, and performing wudu no longer pose a risk of illness. It means that women and children don't have to struggle for miles to collect often dirty water, carrying heavy loads of around 20 litres.
Funding a water well is more than charity; it's a catalyst for change.
A well can:
➢ Ensure Health and Safety: Protect communities from contaminated water, keeping them healthy and safe.
➢ Promote Self-Sufficiency: Enable communities to grow their own food, reducing dependence on others.
➢ Empower Education: Provide children with the time and opportunity to attend school, fostering a brighter future.
➢ Spur Economic Growth: Offer women the chance to start their own businesses, contributing to their financial independence.
A simple well gives the less fortunate a chance to break free from poverty and transform their lives for years to come.

How are the location of wells decided?
Our goal when building wells is to identify areas that are most in need of water. We do this by working with our established partners on the ground who use their local knowledge and expertise to carry out a needs-based assessment, a decision is then made based on these findings. Only then will construction take place.
Penny Appeal’s Thirst Relief appeal is working to assure that people all over the world are happy, hydrated, and hygienic! One of the ways we’re doing this is by building wells for impoverished communities.
