Reminder of the day

Our focus right now

Madagascar: water, food and hope

Our Madagascar work brings communities clean water through hand pumps and wells, and puts meals on the tables of the poorest families through Aqiqah and Sadaqah projects.

Water wells and hand pumps

Clean, safe drinking water for communities in need, with local people trained to look after each well.

Aqiqah and Sadaqah, from £32

Perform Aqiqah or give Sadaqah and the meat is shared with the neediest families. Animals are bought from local farmers.
