Solar-Powered Water System

HOW SERIOUS IS THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS?

The statistics relating to the global water crisis are nothing short of frightening, with men, women and children all suffering. Some of the most damning figures are:

2.2 billion people - one-third of the global population are without easy access to clean water
200 million hours - time spent by women in Africa walking to collect water every day
443 million school days - missed by children every year because of poor access to safe water
Every 37 seconds - one person dies as a result of an illness caused by dirty water
50% of hospital beds - half of the hospital beds in the developing world are filled with patients with water-related illnesses
4.2 billion people - the number of people around the world without sanitation

Needless to say, more has to be done to confront the seriousness of the global water crisis. With your kind donations, UK Islamic Mission will use the funds to install sustainable solar-powered water systems that will bring hope and prosperity to communities around the world.

Benefits of a Solar-Powered Water System

The benefits of a solar-powered water system are vast for developing communities. The systems funded by UK Islamic Mission operate ecologically, making them a sustainable solution that will continue to serve communities for generations. Because of this, a donation to our Solar-Powered Water Systems appeal qualifies for Sadaqah Jariyah, as the system will provide safe, clean water to the community for years to come – making this a gift that keeps on giving, even after you have left this world.

As many communities simply do not have easy access to water, a water system will mean that Africans will not have to walk for hours every day for water and far fewer school days will be missed, meaning millions of children will benefit from a better education.

Key Benefits:

Solar-powered water systems offer safe water and hope for communities across the world
Solar-powered systems are sustainable for the communities that operate them
Solar systems greatly reduce the time it takes to provide water for people, which helps to reduce the time spent queuing
Elevated tanks store treated water, making it easier for communities to access clean water
The solar-powered systems require no access to electrical power, meaning they can be placed in remote areas which benefits off-grid communities
Most systems have a lifespan of 10-plus years with minimal maintenance required, making for a sustainable solution
It only takes a few weeks to train someone to operate a system
Number of beneficiaries is between 500-750 people every day
Qualifies as Sadaqah Jariyah for you and your loved ones
Cost of the total system will be provided for £3000 or £250 per month
The donor can choose to put a plaque on the system and to receive a detailed report at the end which will include pictures of the finished system
Every £1 invested in safe water yields between £2 and £16 in economic return
