This shallow well has been generously donated by Masum G.B. Mawji in loving memory of his maternal grandparents, Marhum Noormohamed Nasser and Marhuma Zainab Bai Alibhai, through the support and coordination of the Nudba Group of Toronto.

Inspired by Shia Teachings: A Legacy of Eternal Reward

In the spirit of Imam Ali (AS), who said:
“People are either your brothers in faith or your equals in humanity.”Nahjul Balagha

This well is a living embodiment of selfless giving and compassion. It follows the tradition of the Ahlul Bayt (AS), who emphasized service to humanity as an act of worship. Water, being one of the greatest gifts, is revered in Islam and especially in Shia teachings where the sacrifice of Imam Husayn (AS) and his companions at Karbala, who were denied water, remains a timeless symbol of resilience and generosity.

Philanthropy Rooted in Faith

Philanthropy in Islam is not just charity—it’s a duty and an act of love. The Qur’an reminds us:
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] that sprouts seven ears; in every ear a hundred grains.”— Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261

This donation demonstrates the beautiful value of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity). Every drop of water that quenches thirst, nourishes crops, and supports health is a continuous blessing for the souls of Marhum Noormohamed and Marhuma Zainab Bai. May Allah (SWT) elevate their ranks in Jannah and reward them eternally—Ameen.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

This project aligns directly with multiple United Nations SDGs, including:

Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – Ensuring availability and sustainable management of water for all.
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being – Clean water reduces disease and improves quality of life.
Goal 1: No Poverty – Reducing the burden of water collection and allowing families to focus on education and economic activities.
Goal 5: Gender Equality – Access to water reduces the daily workload for women and girls, giving them more time for education and leadership.

By building this well, we not only quench thirst, but uplift communities, especially in rural Tanzania where access to clean water is a daily challenge.
A CALL TO CONTINUED KINDNESS
Let this well be a beacon of inspiration to others. We invite you to join hands with the Desk and Chair Foundation, the Nudba Group, and generous donors like Masum G.B Mawji, to make a lasting impact. The legacy you create today through acts of giving will continue to serve generations to come in this world and the hereafter.

“When a human being dies, all of his deeds are terminated except for three: an ongoing charity, a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.” Prophet Muhammad (SAWW)

May the souls of Marhum Noormohamed Nasser and Marhuma Zainab Bai Alibhai find eternal peace, and may this noble act inspire many to follow in their footsteps. Ameen.
