Solar-Powered Water Pumps in Yemen

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎ - To God we belong and to Him we shall return

On October 1, 2020, Amal passed away too early, her sudden passing away has left us all in shock. Amal was a strong, welcoming and kind person with a positive outlook on life. She would go above and beyond to help others. Anyone who knew Amal would tell you of what an amazing person she was. Amal will always be remembered by her family, childhood friends, university colleagues and others who's lives were touched by her kindness.
 
In loving memory of  our dear friend Amal Al-Ashtal we are raising funds to build a Solar-Powered water pumps in her home country Yemen (the place she loved the most) as an ongoing charity for her. 

Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the region that is suffering from an armed conflict that has been impacting the country's ability to provide vast portions of its population access to clean water.  

​The country's existing fragile water system is failing in many regions due to old technology that is harmful to the environment and the high maintenance and fuel costs. 

A solar-powered pumping system is an alternative solution to existing water wells to help communities access clean water using technology that does not require high costs and can be maintained by someone within the community itself. The Yemen Aid project in Qashwa Area of Al Tuheeta District - Al Hodeidah Governorate will help 273 individuals access clean water in a safe and sustainable way. 

The funds will be directed to Yemen Aid US, the organization undertaking the project, and is expected to be completed within one month. We are hoping the project will be ready before the harsh winter conditions that may further complicate the community's access to clean water.
