• Health and Hygiene: Access to clean water is essential for maintaining health and hygiene. Contaminated water leads to diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and dysentery, which can be fatal, especially for children.
• Education: Children who are healthy and hydrated are more likely to attend school and perform better academically. Water scarcity often forces children, especially girls, to miss school to help their families collect water.
• Economic Stability: Access to affordable and safe water reduces the financial burden on families, allowing them to allocate resources to other essential needs such as food, education, and healthcare.
• Dignity and Well-being: Providing clean water restores dignity and improves the overall quality of life for individuals and communities, allowing them to thrive and prosper.
Sa’d ibn Ubadah reported: He said, “O Messenger of Allah, what charity is best?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Providing water.” (Sunan Ibn Majah 3684)
