In many parts of the world, clean water is a basic human right that remains out of reach. Every day, millions of people suffer due to a lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities. Diseases caused by unsafe water and poor hygiene claim countless lives annually especially among children. At Al Qulub Trust, we believe that access to clean water is fundamental to human dignity and survival.

Our Water & Sanitation Appeal is dedicated to addressing this urgent crisis. By supporting this initiative, you are helping to provide safe drinking water, build sanitation systems, and protect vulnerable communities from preventable illnesses.

The Global Water and Sanitation Crisis

According to the World Health Organization, over 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services, and 3.6 billion lack safely managed sanitation. These deficiencies are not just statistics—they represent real families forced to drink contaminated water, walk miles to reach a water source, or live without basic hygiene.

This crisis is more than just an inconvenience; it is a matter of life and death. Diarrhoeal diseases caused by unsafe water and inadequate sanitation kill more children than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.

Why Water and Sanitation Are Core to Development

Providing clean water and proper sanitation has a ripple effect across all aspects of life. Here’s how your donation to Al Qulub Trust can make a lasting impact:

1. Improved Health and Reduced Mortality

Waterborne diseases like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid thrive in areas without clean water. Proper sanitation helps to eliminate these diseases and prevent outbreaks.

2. Empowered Women and Children

In many regions, women and girls bear the burden of fetching water, often walking for hours daily. Access to water close to home allows them to focus on education and economic opportunities instead.

3. Educational Advancement

Schools with safe water and clean toilets see higher attendance rates, especially among girls. Sanitation is key to creating a learning environment where children feel safe and supported.

4. Economic Growth

Time spent collecting water or dealing with waterborne illness is time lost from work and productivity. Safe water boosts local economies by improving public health and freeing up resources.
