Understanding the Global Water Crisis: The Importance of Water Pump Donations

The world is facing a looming water crisis, exacerbated by climate change and global warming. Droughts, famines, and a lack of rainfall are becoming increasingly common, severely impacting countries like Yemen and Pakistan. In regions like Gaza, less than 4% of all water is drinkable, forcing people to spend up to a third of their scarce income on clean water.

A lack of water affects every aspect of life, including food, health, and income. It disrupts food chains as crops cannot grow and livestock cannot survive, leading to mass food shortages or famine. This lack of food, combined with dirty water, results in widespread malnutrition, affecting future generations as malnourished pregnant women often deliver premature babies who are also malnourished.

Addressing the Crisis with Deen Trust International

Approximately 790 million people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. Millions are forced to consume dirty water polluted by sewage, harmful chemicals, and waste, leading to the spread of brutal diseases. In Pakistan alone, 40% of all deaths are due to water-borne diseases.

At Deen Trust International, our water projects aim to provide poor and vulnerable communities with access to clean and safe drinking water. Your donation can help us install water hand pumps, reducing the need for women and children to walk miles each day to fetch water and promoting hygiene and sanitation.

Join us today to build a water hand pump for a family in need. With your donation, children who would usually spend the day searching for water can attend school, and mothers who would typically walk for miles in search of water can stay safe with their families. Everyone is protected from water-borne diseases, which are the root cause of the majority of illnesses in developing countries.

So far, we have installed 15,000 water hand pumps, benefiting 443,960 vulnerable people. For just £150, you can transform the lives of an entire community. Donate today to provide an impoverished family with access to clean and safe water.
