Yemen’s Water Crisis Explained — And How You Can Help

Yemen is one of the most water-scarce places on earth. Years of conflict have crippled infrastructure, leaving millions without access to safe, clean water. Families walk for hours to collect water, often from contaminated sources, and waterborne disease spreads rapidly in the heat.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that the best form of charity is giving water. Through our Yemen Water Appeal, Hayat Charity — working with local partners — is helping bring clean water to families who have gone without.

From household water filters to community water points and Sadaqah Jariyah wells, your donation creates clean water access that can serve families for years. Every gift is Zakat-eligible and Gift Aid claimable.

Give the Gift of Water

£25 provides one family with clean water for a month. A Sadaqah Jariyah well becomes a continuous deed in your name for as long as it flows.
