WELL NO. 853 – A GIFT OF LIFE TO THE COMMUNITY

Location:
Subvillage: Nyangasada
Village: Isunura
Ward: Mawindi

District: Mbarali
Region: Mbeya

Daily Beneficiaries: 49 families |
and 322 individuals

On 21st July 2025 (corresponding to 14th Muharram 1447 A.H. in the Shia Islamic calendar), Well No. 853 was officially handed over to the residents of Nyangasada subvillage in Isunura village. This well is one of the ten water projects donated in Mbeya Region, and it stands as a sacred symbol of mercy, love, and the shared responsibility to care for one another as part of the human family.

The well was donated through Islamic Humanitarian Service as a form of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), in loving memory of:

*Marhum Nazarali Alibhai Panju
*Marhuma Surgabai Juma Jetha
*Marhum Husein Nazarali A. Panju

Water, a divine blessing mentioned repeatedly in the Holy Qur’an, is the essence of life. Allah says:
“And We made from water every living thing.” (Qur’an, 21:30)
In donating this well, the spirit of Rahmah (mercy), Barakah (blessing), and Ihsan (excellence in kindness) flows as freely as the water it provides.

This act of generosity reflects the sacred responsibility of humanity to protect and uplift one another regardless of race, religion, or status. Rooted in both Islamic teachings and African communal traditions, this well represents a bridge between faith-based philanthropy and Ubuntu – the African philosophy that declares, “I am because we are.”

In African culture, water is not just a necessity-it is a symbol of peace, hospitality, and healing. Providing clean water uplifts communities, enhances dignity, and ensures better health outcomes, particularly for children, women, and the elderly.

This well will continue to benefit generations, serve as a reminder of shared humanity, and inspire others to give selflessly for the common good. Through such noble deeds, the memories of the departed are honored in the most dignified way-by sustaining life.

May Allah (SWT) accept this offering and elevate the ranks of the departed souls, and may it inspire global citizens to uphold the sacred trust of caring for one another. Ameen.

Official Handover of Well No. 852 in Nyangasada Subvillage, Mbarali District – Mbeya Region

On 21st July 2025 (corresponding to 15th Muharram 1447 A.H.), Well No. 852 was officially handed over to the community of Nyangasada subvillage, located in Isunura Village, Mawindi Ward, Mbarali District, Mbeya Region. This project is part of a broader humanitarian initiative in which ten (10) wells were completed and handed over across Mbeya Region.

Well No. 852 currently benefits 75 households, serving approximately 625 people on a daily basis. It provides reliable access to clean and safe water, contributing significantly to improved health outcomes, reduced water-borne diseases, and enhanced overall quality of life for the beneficiary population.

This well has been donated through the Islamic Humanitarian Service as a Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), in loving memory of:

-Marhum Nazarali Alibhai Panju
-Marhuma Surgabai Juma Jetha
-Marhum Husein Nazarali A. Panju

The donation embodies the Islamic principle of service to humanity and aligns with the words of the Holy Qur’an:
– “And We made from water every living thing.” — Surah Al-Anbiya (21:30)

“Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved the whole of mankind.” – Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:32)

Contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The construction and delivery of this water point are not only acts of faith and compassion but are also aligned with the global development agenda. Specifically, the intervention contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
By providing safe, affordable, and accessible water, the well directly supports the target of universal access to clean water, a critical component of public health and human dignity.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Access to clean water reduces exposure to preventable diseases, especially among children and vulnerable populations.

SDG 1: No Poverty and SDG 2: Zero Hunger
Clean water enhances agricultural productivity and household food security while reducing economic vulnerabilities caused by water-related illnesses.

SDG 5: Gender Equality
In many rural areas, the responsibility of fetching water falls on women and girls. This well reduces their burden, thereby increasing opportunities for education and economic participation.

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
This project exemplifies effective collaboration between faith-based organizations, community stakeholders, and local authorities to implement sustainable and impactful solutions.
The successful delivery of this project underscores the important role of Islamic charitable institutions in advancing global development goals through faith-driven action. It is a testament to how spiritual values, when translated into service, can yield tangible and lasting social impact.

May the Almighty Allah (SWT) accept this noble initiative as a continuous charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), and may it bring eternal rewards to the donors and mercy to the departed souls in whose memory the well has been donated.

It now provides daily access to clean water for 49 families and 330 individuals, significantly improving the health, dignity, and livelihoods of the local community.

A Gift of Sadaqah Jariyah (Ongoing Charity)

In the Holy Qur’an, Allah (SWT) reminds us:

“And whoever saves one life – it is as if he had saved all of mankind.”
(Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32)

This well was donated in loving memory of three revered individuals:

-Marhum Nazarali Alibhai Panju
-Marhuma Surgabai Juma Jetha
-Marhum Husein Nazarali A. Panju
Their memory now lives on through every drop of water that quenches thirst, irrigates crops, and nurtures children.

Spiritual Legacy Beyond the Physical

By handing over this well during Muharram, the donors have aligned this act of generosity with one of the most sacred months in the Islamic calendar , a time of remembrance, sacrifice, and spiritual reflection. In the spirit of Karbala, where selflessness triumphed over tyranny, this well becomes a symbol of serving others for the sake of Allah (SWT) and humanity.

May Allah (SWT) accept this act of sadaqah jariyah, elevate the ranks of the marhumeen in Jannah, and bless all those who contributed to making this project a reality.

It is now a life-changing source of clean and safe water for over 600 families and approximately 2,400 people every single day.

Transforming Lives with Water: Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation Partner to Donate Well No. 833 in Kibarama, Kagera Region

Access to clean and safe water is a basic human right, yet it remains out of reach for millions across the globe. In a powerful act of compassion and collaboration, Care Aid Africa Foundation, in partnership with The Desk and Chair Foundation, has brought that right closer to home for hundreds of families in Kagera Region through the donation of Well No. 833.

Located in Kibarama Subvillage, Ruwagati Village, Kemondo Ward, within Bukoba District Council, this new water well was officially handed over on 25th May 2025. It now serves as a critical lifeline for the community, benefiting approximately 220 families and reaching over 1,400 people on a daily basis.

For years, residents of Kibarama and surrounding areas have faced immense challenges in accessing clean water. Women and children often walked long distances under the scorching sun, sometimes exposing themselves to unsafe water sources. With this new well, made possible through the partnership of Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation, those burdens have been significantly reduced.

“This well is more than just a water sourceit’s a symbol of hope, health, and dignity,” said a local community leader during the handover ceremony. “We are truly grateful to both organizations for making this dream a reality.”

Impact Beyond Water
The well’s impact extends far beyond hydration. It enhances public health by reducing waterborne diseases, improves school attendance by freeing children from long water-fetching journeys, and supports economic empowerment by allowing women to redirect their time and energy to income-generating activities.

This initiative also supports Tanzania’s national water and sanitation goals and aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All.

A Model of Partnership and Purpose
The collaboration between Care Aid Africa Foundation and The Desk and Chair Foundation is a shining example of how partnerships can amplify impact. Their shared vision and dedication to community development have made a meaningful difference in the lives of the people of Kibarama.

Water as a Universal Right and Sacred Trust

Water is not just a basic necessity; it is a divine gift and an enduring symbol of mercy. Across all faiths and cultures, water represents life, purification, sustenance, and renewal. In Islam, especially within the Shia tradition, the act of providing water is considered among the most meritorious deeds. Imam Ali (a.s) stated: “The best form of charity is giving water to drink.”

On 8th Dhul Qa’dah 1446 AH—a sacred day in the Islamic calendar falling within the spiritual month honoring Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (a.s)—this shallow well was handed over to the people of Bukala. It now serves hundreds daily, reflecting the values of compassion, dignity, and continuity that transcend generations.
Commemorating Lives Through Acts of Eternal Value

This well stands as a waqf (charitable endowment) dedicated to the loving memory of five individuals whose legacies live on through the ripple effect of clean, life-saving water. Instead of being forgotten with time, their names are now etched into the daily lives of the families who use this water for drinking, cooking, sanitation, and agriculture.

By empowering a community with access to safe water, the donors and their families have fulfilled not only a social obligation but a profound spiritual legacy—one that offers thawab al-jariyah (ongoing reward) for generations to come.
Unity in Humanity: Serving Without Boundaries
Though this donation comes through the Shia tradition and the kind support of the Nudba Group of Toronto, the impact transcends religious or tribal affiliations. It is a reminder that our shared humanity and common values—kindness, equity, and social justice—are what bind us most meaningfully.

This water source is open to all: Christian, Muslim, believer, and non-believer; young, old, women, men, children, and the elderly; abled and differently abled. Access to clean water should never be a privilege—it is a human right. In this spirit, Well No. 825 symbolizes a bridge that connects people, not a wall that separates them.
A Model for Legal Philanthropy and Sustainable Development
This well also serves as a practical embodiment of legal philanthropy—an approach that aligns charitable giving with human rights, equity, and sustainability. It supports several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
SDG 1 & 2: No Poverty and Zero Hunger
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
By investing in accessible and community-owned infrastructure, this well encourages local empowerment, public health improvements, and gender equity, as fetching water is often a burden borne by women and girls.

Call to Action: Be the Reason for Someone’s Tomorrow♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
This is more than a well. It’s an invitation—a call to each one of us to reflect on what legacy we are creating.
Will we leave behind convenience, or compassion? Luxury, or life?

We invite individuals, families, and institutions—regardless of belief or background—to take part in this mission of shared humanity. Sponsor a well. Educate your community. Partner with us in creating access to dignity.
{“Whoever saves a life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind.” — Qur’an 5:32}

In Memory. In Service. In Unity.

May the souls of the honored departed rest in eternal peace, embraced by divine mercy. May this well be a source of blessing for them and a beacon of hope for the living.
