Sadaqa Jariyah: Continuous Charity on Behalf of My Father.

Assalamu alaykum, and peace to all!

My name is Anida M. and I will be 25 years old on December 14th, God willing! For many years, my friends and family would plan various outings and dinners for my birthday along with buying many,many, many presents! Alhamdullilah, I have been blessed with everything I need and more. So…this year, I have decided, instead of planning festivities and spending money on dinners that I end up taking home and eating for lunch the next day, I want to give something that many individuals across the world do not have easy access to: water.

Many of you may already know my late father, Haji Gulgai Masuod passed away May 9, 2015. He always encouraged me to give back to those in need as well as caring for the under-served, underprivileged individuals and constantly praying for their well-being. My father’s memory and inspiration sparked this idea to provide access to individuals in a rural village in Afghanistan –his homeland.

Why Projects Like Zam Zam Water Mattered to My Father.

It was narrated by Ibn Majah, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon Him said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.”

Help us provide access to clean water to give people the opportunity to live a healthy and productive life.

Rising poverty and unemployment in urban centers prevent returning Afghan refugees from reintegrating into society. Scarce resources and limited basic infrastructure are linked to poor employment opportunities, which also affect the sustainable reintegration of Afghan returnees.

Where Will Your Money Go?

I have teamed up with LaunchGood and Zam Zam Water to raise money for Phase II of the Afghan Community Project.

Phase II Includes:

- Provide the villagers with the necessary resources and install a community-wide water irrigation piping system.

-This piping system will allow full access of potable water for the villagers by bringing the water to their homes and areas of living.

- The piping system will decrease the amount of time they have to wait to access the water from a central point.

- It will decrease the amount of water-borne diseases that are caused due to lack of sanitation, and it will allow to regulate the water usage so the amount is used properly.
