At least 1,580 healthcare workers have been killed serving their communities in Gaza. Behind every fallen doctor, nurse, and paramedic is a bereaved family struggling to survive. This is how we can help.

The Sacred Month of Muharram

Muharram is a month of deep reverence, reflection, and remembrance. It marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and carries immense spiritual significance. Central to Muharram is the powerful legacy of Imam Hussain (RA) and the tragedy of Karbala, where he and his companions were deprived of water for days before their martyrdom.

 

This profound sacrifice, especially their suffering from thirst, continues to inspire acts of compassion and justice. Today, you can honour Karbala’s legacy by providing clean water to those who need it most.

The Reality Today: Thirst Still Kills

While Karbala is a chapter in history, the pain of thirst remains very real.

  • In Gaza, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and many impoverished regions, clean water is a luxury — not a guarantee.
  • 1 in 3 people globally lack access to safe drinking water
  • Children under 5 are most vulnerable to water-borne diseases
  • Conflicts and climate change have worsened water shortages in crisis zones

Give Water in Honour of Imam Hussain (RA)

“The best charity is giving water to drink.”
– Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Ahmad, Ibn Majah)

Water is one of the most beloved forms of charity in Islam. In this sacred month, your gift of water can serve as sadaqah jariyah (ongoing charity) — bringing blessings for generations.

Aghosh UK & Alkhidmat: Water Projects that Transform Lives

✅ Solar-powered submersible water wells
✅ Gravity flow systems
✅ Filtration systems

✅ Hundreds of hand pumps
✅ Robust maintenance programs

These initiatives have dramatically improved health, hygiene, and dignity for vulnerable families.
