Rainwater Harvesting Systems
With every droplet of rain, there falls a gift from Allah (SWT).

What is Rainwater Harvesting?

Rainwater harvesting simply means collecting rainwater from rooftops, purifying it, and then filtering it through a pipe into a safe storage tank.

It’s a sustainable, safe and sanitary way to provide clean water.

Rainwater harvesting systems are particularly needed in places with a lot of arsenic or saline in the soil, where building a well could bring up water which is dangerous or even toxic to drink.

Rainwater harvesting is a simple solution, which brings together traditional knowledge and innovative design to bring the gift of water to thousands of people!

Harvesting the Rain in Bangladesh

In the coastal Bangladeshi region of Satkhira, the groundwater is contaminated with dangerous levels of arsenic and saline.

This means that shallow tube wells are useless in Satkhira; the water they pump from the ground causes sickness, red sores and in extreme cases, even cancer.

Therefore, local Bangladeshi communities came up with an ingenious solution; to collect rainwater in large clay pots in the monsoon season, which they keep for survival in the dry season. However, these sitting pots of water would also become contaminated with flies and waste, and they could only collect small amounts of water.

Penny Appeal have worked with a village in Satkhira to improve upon their solution, by providing high-quality Rainwater Harvesting Systems, which collect rainwater from roofs, purify it using our filtration device, and store it safely for months in our safe tanks.

Our teams have trained the local community in maintaining the tanks, as well as teaching adults and children alike how to stay healthy and hygienic.

Now, this village in Satkhira has safe, clean, life-giving water on-tap!

Feedback about your Rainwater Harvesting System

You can build a Rainwater Harvesting System in the name of the Prophet (ﷺ), his family such as Imam Hussain (ra), or in your own name or that of a loved one.

Once we've received the full payment for your Rainwater Harvesting System, we can then start to assess the best place for it to be set up where it is needed most, with your chosen plaque details.

We use a stringent third-party selection process to ensure only the most in need benefit, and the whole process from start to finish after payment is an estimated 9 to 12 months.

When your Rainwater Harvesting System has been built and is functional, we’ll send you an individual feedback report so you can see it in action and find out about the people whose lives you've changed.
