Ya Abbas (AS) Water Well Initiative

The Ya Abbas Water Well Initiative, established by Imam Hussein Charity, is dedicated to alleviating poverty and addressing the urgent crisis of clean water scarcity in Muslim communities around the world — all in the blessed name of Hazrat Abbas (a.s.).

The Crisis

In many Muslim regions — particularly within Shia-majority and minority communities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of Africa — families continue to suffer from a lack of access to clean, safe drinking water. Years of conflict, damaged infrastructure, and socio-economic hardship have left countless people struggling to meet even their most basic needs.

Why Water Matters

  • 2.2 billion people globally lack access to safe drinking water.

  • 703 million have no clean water close to home.

  • Hundreds of thousands of children die every year from waterborne diseases.

Clean water is essential for life. It restores health, dignity, and opportunity — empowering families, strengthening communities, and breaking the cycle of poverty.

The Solution

Imam Hussein Charity is committed to addressing these pressing issues through the construction of sustainable water wells. With your generous support, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of countless individuals and communities.

Each well built under the Ya Abbas Water Well Initiative stands as a symbol of compassion and service, reflecting the values of Hazrat Abbas (a.s.), who embodied loyalty, sacrifice, and care for others.

Your Contribution

You can sponsor the construction of a water well, providing clean water to families in desperate need.

Picture this: a believer performing wudu, completing their prayers, and reciting the Holy Qur’an — all made possible by your generosity in granting them access to clean water. Imagine the relief of a family quenching their thirst as temperatures soar to 49.5°C, their hardship eased because of your compassion.

Your donation not only funds construction — it delivers dignity, hope, and life itself to those who need it most.

Transparency and Gratitude

At Imam Hussein Charity, we believe in transparency and sincerity in every step of our work. As a token of appreciation for your support, each donor will receive photo and video documentation of the completed water well.

To honour your generosity, every well will also feature a personalized plaque — inscribed with your name or a dedication to a marhoom (deceased loved one) — serving as a lasting tribute to your compassion and commitment to humanitarian service.

Your contribution is not only a charitable act but a legacy of mercy, faith, and kindness that continues to benefit others long after it is given.

Ramadan: A Time for Giving

The holy month of Ramadan is a season of reflection, gratitude, and generosity — a time when the spirit of giving shines brightest. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to support those in need and to embody the compassion exemplified by Imam Hussein (a.s.).

By donating during Ramadan, you multiply the blessings of your charity. Your contribution to the Ya Abbas Water Well Initiative can bring life-changing relief to vulnerable communities, allowing families to experience the blessings of clean water during this sacred time.
