Water security remains a major threat in Pakistan. Currently in Pakistan, 21 million people live without access to clean water close to their homes. Children are being deprived of education due to having to walk far each day to collect water for their families. They are often collecting from unsafe water sources, resulting in the transmission of waterborne diseases. Entire communities in Pakistan have little choice but to suffer the effects of waterborne diseases because they have no other options when it comes to drinking water. Sadly, 250,000 children per year do not live to see their fifth birthdays, due to waterborne diseases. You can help us change this and make a difference!

The University of Leeds Pakistani Society has united Pakistani societies across the UK to initiate the National Pakistani Societies Charity Trek. Pakistani Societies across the UK will be hiking together to collectively raise funds that will go directly towards providing clean water to communities in Pakistan. We believe that together, we can make a great impact. We are working with SKT welfare on this great cause and hope that you can support us. It was narrated that Sa’d bin Ubadah asked  'O Messenger of Allah, what charity is best?' He (pbuh) said: 'Giving water to drink.' Sunan Ibn Majah 3684.

With the funds raised we aim to install water filtration plants, which have the capacity to filter one thousand litres of water per day.  A solar powered plant costs £10,000 and we hope to install as many as possible with your help Insha’Allah. Each plant will benefit a community of up to 9,000 people in need of clean water. Help us to provide clean water to those in need by donating and sharing this page. Please remember that no donation is too small and as the Prophet (PBUH) said ‘giving charity does not diminish one’s wealth’. With your donations we can Insha’Allah take a step closer towards solving Pakistan’s water crisis.
