Water Well
Clean water is the most important basic human need, access to which enables mankind to lead a healthy, clean life and avoid illness. This is something that we all take for granted. However, in Asia and Africa a lot of places do not have immediate or quick access to water, often miles of travelling is needed – to fetch water people including women and children need to travel on average 3.7 miles. In Bangladesh alone, around four million people live in slums and do not have access to the basic needs that we use on a daily basis such as clean, safe water.
Our Deep tube well / Water Well Campaign enables us to deliver pure clean water to the people in need. We are providing them with deep water wells and some places with shallow tube wells which you can be a part of and achieve great rewards in this world and the hereafter. We need your help. You can donate for an entire well or a share or more.

The Messenger of Allah PBUH was asked, "Which charity is best?" He replied, "[Providing] water".
The following hadith teaches us that a simple act of kindness such as giving water can be our salvation on the Day of Judgment.
The Prophet PBUH said, "Allah had once forgiven a prostitute. She passed by a dog panting near a well. Seeing that thirst had nearly killed him, she took off her shoe, tied it to her scarf, and drew up some water. Allah forgave her for that."
The Messenger of Allah PBUH Said, 'Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, will say on the Day of Resurrection, "...O son of Adam, I asked you for something to drink but you did not give it to me." He will say, "O Lord, how can I give you something to drink when you are the Lord of the worlds?" He will then say, "My Servant so-and-so asked you to give him something to drink and you did not give it to him. Had you given it to him, you would have surely found that with me."
House Building
A home to live in safe and sound with family, is a basic right of human beings. Staggeringly, one in six people still lives in slums all over the world especially in Asia and Africa due to extreme poverty. At least one hundred million have no home whatsoever. Moreover, natural disasters displaces millions of people in places like in Bangladesh, where storms, hurricanes, floods and river erosion take away people’s accommodation. A person with a home can become homeless within a moment.
In areas in need of emergency relief, where houses have either been destroyed or damaged, or for people with extreme poverty who can’t afford to build a home, Global Aid Trust aims to provide basic shelter for the needy with basic facilities.
Prophet PBUH said, "There is no right for the son of Adam except in these things: a house in which he lives, a garment to cover his nakedness, a piece of bread and water."
Houses are currently being built in Bangladesh. For donors who pay the full amount to build a house his/her name can be affixed to the house if they wish.
