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.
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.
While Karbala is a chapter in history, the pain of thirst remains very real.
“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.
Working hand in hand, Aghosh UK and the Alkhidmat WASH Program have implemented life-changing water projects across Pakistan, Gaza, and other crisis-hit regions, combining:
✅ Solar-powered submersible water wells
✅ Gravity flow systems
✅ Filtration systems
✅ Bottled water emergency relief
✅ Hundreds of hand pumps
✅ Robust maintenance programs
These initiatives have dramatically improved health, hygiene, and dignity for vulnerable families.
🌟 Clean Water in Tharparkar, Pakistan
In the arid desert of Tharparkar, Aghosh UK and Alkhidmat installed solar-powered wells, serving 400+ families daily, ending their reliance on contaminated ponds.
“Before this well, my children were always sick. Now, they drink clean water. May Allah reward the donors.” – Saima Bibi, local resident
🌟 Emergency Water Relief in Gaza
During Ramadan and Muharram, 10,000+ litres of bottled water were distributed to families displaced by bombing and water shortages.
“When no one came, Aghosh UK delivered water to our tent. My children had not seen clean water in days.” – Gaza resident
🌟 Hand Pumps in Balochistan & Sindh
Over 200 hand pumps were installed, empowering families to grow food, maintain hygiene, and live with dignity.
🌟 Sustainable Water Solutions
Through the Alkhidmat WASH Program, advanced submersible wells, solar water solutions, and filtration systems are helping entire villages break free from waterborne diseases.
Charity in Muharram, especially on the 9th and 10th, holds immense reward. By giving water during these sacred days, you:
✅ Honour the sacrifice of Karbala
✅ Earn multiplied spiritual rewards
✅ Provide life-saving relief to the world’s most vulnerable
