One Solar Powered Water Well in Northern Gaza

SOLAR POWERED WATER WELL IN NORTHERN GAZA

A Sadaqah Jariyah Opportunity - £14,000 for One solar powered water well 

In North Gaza, where conflict has devastated communities and left resources scarce, we are working to bring hope and resilience. Our project aims to operate a water well using solar energy, providing a sustainable and reliable water source to about 15,000 marginalized people in the area.

Our Objectives:

1. Sustainable Power: Harnessing solar energy to create a dependable and eco-friendly power source for the water well, ensuring uninterrupted water access.

2. Clean Water Supply: Delivering a lasting solution for clean water, essential for daily life and health.

3. Disease Prevention: Providing safe, clean water to reduce the spread of infectious diseases that thrive due to unsafe water sources.

 Why This Matters:

1. Critical Shortages: Since the conflict began, North Gaza has faced severe shortages of electricity and water. This project directly addresses these critical needs.

2. Essential Lifeline: The water well we aim to revive is the only water source for thousands of people. Without it, the community's survival is at risk.

By supporting this project, you will help ensure the survival and well-being of 15,000 people. Your contribution will provide families with daily access to clean water, significantly improving their quality of life and health. This initiative offers immediate relief and fosters long-term resilience by using renewable energy to power the water well.Join us in this crucial mission to restore dignity, health, and hope to the people of North Gaza. Together, we can make a life-saving difference.

❖ Current Water Situation in Gaza:

On October 9th, Israel’s defence minister ordered a total siege on electricity, water, and fuel sent to Gaza from Israel. These essential resources are key to the maintenance of water safety systems that allow Gazans to practice effective hygiene, drink safe water, and prevent water-borne diseases. Access to these services, (also known as water, sanitation and hygiene or “WASH”), is a human right outlined by the United Nations.

Israel’s management of Gaza’s essential resources has turned into a form of infrastructural attack, and 95% of Gaza’s population has had no access to clean water for months. Across Gaza, only 1.5 to 1.8 liters of water per day is available to each person. The WHO daily recommended allowance of clean water is 100 liters per person. By targeting the sources of Gaza’s water supply, Israel has manufactured a water shortage and a dire humanitarian crisis.

Gaza depends on three Mekorot water pipelines that run from Israel to provide drinking water. According to OCHA, only one of them – Bani-Saeed – is currently operational, but only at 47% of its capacity. The other two have been non-operational for nine months.

The Israeli force destroyed more than 1000 water wells totally in addition to destroying generators that operate the wells that massively decrease the daily quota for every person from drinking water by 80% Also, the underground water is polluted due to damage of the infrastructure. In North Gaza and Gaza City there are about 700 water wells that need to be generated by a power source to provide people with water. 

In North Gaza, where conflict has devastated communities and left resources scarce, we are working to bring hope and resilience. Our project aims to operate a water well using solar energy, providing a sustainable and reliable water source to about 15,000 marginalized people in the area.
