Cholera and Acute Water Diarrhoea (AWD) devastated Yemen in 2017 in one of the worst outbreaks in human history. The country is still recovering after 1.3 million people were infected and almost 3000 people tragically died. 

2019 has seen a dramatic increase in AWD cases (UNICEF, 2019) and the people of Yemen need life saving water more than ever.

It costs £1500 per deep well due to the geography of the country and will help an entire community in Taiz, Lahj Governate, Yemen. 

Who will the well help…

The well will provide clean water to around 50 families in the local village. That’s MORE than 250 individuals that one well could help every single day for around 5 years. 

Change begins with you…

Thousands of people will continue to die each year unless we all act now. With your help we can provide water to some of the poorest areas in the world and help them escape poverty once and for all. With your help we can make sure that children are not deprived of an education because of a lack of water.

 By sparing your change for our Wishing Wells project you can provide lifesaving water to thousands of people.

The current global situation…

Over 800 million people around the world do not have access to clean drinking water. Forced to drink filthy surface water from stagnant pools, thousands of people die every year from typhoid, cholera and other preventable diseases.

Wishing Wells

Every day, poverty continues to rob people of their dignity. For millions of people, their only wish is to be able to lead themselves out of poverty and provide a future for their loved ones.

Millions of children are forced to spend hours every day collecting water from filthy rivers depriving them of the education that they so vitally need.

Salam Charity is on the ground building lifesaving water wells in some of the poorest areas in the world, providing sustainable drinking sources for generations to come.
