Charity is the selfless act of giving time, resources, or love to help others in need.
Water is not just a source of life but also the foundation of who we are. It nourishes all living things and maintains ecosystems. Its importance extends beyond merely its usefulness. But it’s also a significant resource for maintaining the planet’s cycle.
As we acknowledge the vital role of water in our survival, we also bear witness to the suffering that the shortage of this resource inflicts upon several families, especially in rural areas. And as the climate change intensifies, the torment deepens.
The frequent droughts and unpredictable weather patterns subject them to scorching heat one year and torrential rains the next. This causes the crops to wither and the rivers to dry up. In these moments, the water crisis metastasises into a nightmare that never ends.
The severity of the situation increases when only a significant portion of the world’s population can access safe and clean drinking water. In these forgotten corners of the world, families are trapped in a vicious cycle of deprivation, battling water scarcity and the wrath of an unpredictable climate.
Above all, the scarcity of essential resources and the non-affective measures multiply the people’s distress. The heartbreaking fact is that the mothers and children have to travel miles in those harsh weather conditions just to find an ounce of clean water for their families. In the majority of the cases, these failed expeditions lead to the usage of unsafe drinking water, which leads to various water-borne diseases, shortening the life span of millions of such people.
“In the water which Allah sent down from the Heavens and brought with it life to Earth after being dead”
Quran (2:164)
Charity is the selfless act of giving time, resources, or love to help others in need.
