Water Aid
785 million people around the globe do not have access to a basic drinking water service, and 2 billion drink water contaminated by faeces.
1 in 9 people do not have access to safe, clean drinking water — and the consequences touch every sphere of life.
The Zahra Trust builds sustainable water solutions tailored to each region's geography and resources — from electric wells and solar-powered boreholes to ultra-filtration plants.
Your support delivers safe, clean drinking water to communities that need it most — for decades to come.

Sustainable Water Solutions
There is a global water crisis
At The Zahra Trust we work to provide sustainable water solutions for communities in need. Our projects offer different options based on regional geography and resource availability.
In Pakistan, electric water wells pump clean water using a borewell and motor — convenient where electricity is available. In desert regions, solar-powered plants combine a borewell with solar panels to lift water from deep beneath the ground.
In Yemen, where 18 million people urgently need water, sanitation and hygiene assistance, our ultra-filtration plants purify contaminated sources — each capable of producing up to 60,000 litres of clean water a day, serving up to 50,000 people.
Our response to the ongoing global water crisis is only possible with your support. Donate today to help provide safe, clean water for those in need.
