OBJECTIVES:

YOU CAN GET FIREWOOD FROM BUSHES, BUT MY BORING AND DIFFICULT JOB IS GETTING WATER, spoken by above young female village resident.

Comments: of the locals from around the world which have been touched by LFTs Efforts

Pakistan: A 95 years old lady of the village remarked I am thankful to these unknown people who got us water, that was right under our feet.

I spent all my youth bringing water from one Km down the hill on my head thus travelling 2 Kms for every pitcher. It was most agonizing part of my life and of the life of all the ladies of these 20 families that live here.

My youth cannot be brought back but our children will be spared of this donkey work.

Our men have been so callous to our agony, they could have pool resources for collective good but they never came out of their petty differences, jealousy and distrust. They never cared for us, the women, who are their mothers, sisters and daughters. May Allah bless all those who took part in this work.

Gaza Palestine: The mother of Mohamed Al Shukri, a 5-year deaf child enrolled in Atfaluna Kindergarten, expressed in gratitude saying: All I want in life is to see my child enjoying a healthy life, this is quiet impossible in our surrounding. We usually face difficulties in securing healthy water. Knowing that my child and my family will enjoy healthy water in ASDC gives me a sense of comfort.

I pray for Allah to have His blessings on the Lady Fatemah Charitable Trust for their honorable deeds.

We have faced a lot of difficulty acquiring clean drinking water, and after a long time of waiting plus praying, our wish has become a reality.

We will now have time to look in to our farms, our livestock. This will help us improve our standard of living, God Willing.

WE PRAY LFCT IS GIVEN THE STRENGTH TO CONTINUE WITH THIS NOBLE DEED, AND PROVIDE WATER TO MORE VILLAGES, THUS MAKING LIFE EASIER IN THESE TRYING TIMES.
