Provide safe, sustainable drinking water to 400 people in rural Khyber through a solar-powered water system.


Clean Water, Real Impact & Changing Lives

Access to clean drinking water is something many of us take for granted. Yet for millions of people around the world, safe water remains out of reach.

This campaign began with the vision of an A-Level student, Farhan Akhtar, who approached Al-Mizaan Foundation seeking support for his Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). His research explores an important question:

“To what extent can access to clean drinking water reduce the prevalence of waterborne diseases in impoverished communities?”

Wanting to move beyond theory and create real-world impact, Farhan set out to identify a community where clean water could transform lives. Al-Mizaan Foundation was delighted to support his initiative and help connect his academic research with a genuine humanitarian project.

Following community assessments and surveys, we identified the village of Koz Kaly in District Khyber, KPK, Pakistan, where approximately 400 residents depend on a small seasonal river as their main source of drinking water. Existing solutions have failed due to unreliable electricity and a non-functional government water scheme, leaving families vulnerable to water shortages and the risks associated with unsafe drinking water.

To address this challenge, we aim to install a solar-powered water system, including a borewell, storage facilities, and a motorised pumping solution. By harnessing solar energy, the system will provide a sustainable and reliable supply of clean water without depending on an unreliable electricity network.

What Your Donation Will Achieve

  • Provide access to clean and safe drinking water for approximately 400 people.
  • Reduce dependency on a seasonal and unreliable water source.
  • Help lower the risk of waterborne illnesses through improved water quality.
  • Deliver a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution powered by solar energy.
  • Enable a young student to turn research into meaningful action that benefits an entire community.

Why This Project Matters

This is more than a fundraising campaign. It is an opportunity to empower a young person to make a tangible difference while bringing hope and lasting change to a community in need.

By supporting this campaign, you are helping provide one of life’s most basic necessities: clean water. Your generosity will help families drink safely, improve daily living conditions, and create a healthier future for generations to come.

Together, we can turn education into action and action into lasting impact.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Al-Mizaan Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Al-Mizaan Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Al-Mizaan Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Al-Mizaan Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Al-Mizaan Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
