With your support, we can:

-Reach more families in remote and underserved areas

Daily Beneficiaries:
Families: 74
Individuals: 504

A Well is Not Just Water. It’s Life.

This well was made possible through the heartfelt generosity of a devoted donor, in partnership with World Federation Aid – the humanitarian and development arm of the World Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslim Communities.

In areas like Kwimba District, the daily struggle for clean water is real. Without a nearby water source, women and children walk long distances—sometimes for hours-to fetch water from unsafe, open sources. This affects everything: health, education, dignity, and hope for a better future.

But with one well, everything changes.

▪︎A child goes back to school instead of walking miles.
▪︎A mother can spend more time caring for her family instead of searching for water.
▪︎A community regains its dignity, strength, and peace.

▪︎Clean water doesn’t just quench thirst. It heals. It protects. It empowers.

“Whoever gives water to a thirsty soul, Allah will give them a drink from Paradise.”

This well is one of four donated by the same kind-hearted benefactor in this district, showing just how much impact one person can make. It was officially handed over on 29th Dhul Hijjah 1446 A.H., marking a lasting legacy for generations to come.

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.

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:

“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.

-Marhum Nazarali Alibhai Panju
-Marhuma Surgabai Juma Jetha

Their memory now lives on through every drop of water that quenches thirst, irrigates crops, and nurtures children.

Spiritual Legacy Beyond the Physical
