Clean water for 1 million people | Zakat Eligible | Award-winning team (Forbes 30under30, Queen's Award) | Gaza, Yemen, Pakistan and South Sudan


Children in Gaza, Yemen, and Pakistan Need Your Help. Will you pledge today?

  • £100 Gives 100 people clean water for 5 years guaranteed.
  • £699 funds one Solar Water Tap: provides clean water to 1,000 people daily for 5 years.

Sadly, this global crisis particularly hurts Children: we have met hundreds of girls as young as five who travel 4 hours every day just to collect water – unfortunately, to make matters worse, a majority of these water sources are contaminated with bacteria & heavy metals that lead to numerous illnesses such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid.

1. How is Bondh E Shams different from other water charities & what is our solution?

Bondh E Shams is a dedicated water charity and our engineers with colleagues at Stanford University have developed a special portable water filtration system for disaster relief: the Solar Water Box. See how our trademark technology works:

OASIS BOX + Water Source = 20+ Years of Filtered Water Supply

The Solar Water Box brings a submersible water pump, life-saving bacteria filters, and unique data tracking system into a single, transportable unit. Each Box can be deployed in 7 minutes (on a water source) and provides up to 10,000 liters of 99.99% clean water daily for 25 years

Our vision is to fundamentally upgrade Islamic giving for clean water by leveraging technology. Led by Muslim Founders , Bondh E Shams has proudly developed a solar-powered water filtration device that takes your donation much, much farther inshallah

2. How is our Trademarked Technology better than traditional hand-pumps?

Although cheap, hand-pumps are not a long-term solution. They do not filter water (and hence do not stop illnesses like diarrhea) and break within months: the World Bank has estimated that more than $1.2Bn have been lost to broken hand-pumps as typically 30-40% of hand-pumps are broken. 

3. What is Bondh E Shams’ Track Record in Water Projects?

We have installed water projects in 165 villages and refugee camps and currently serve an estimated 150,000 people daily across six countries: Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, South Sudan and Turkey. Donors like you on LaunchGood have been critical in saving lives. We have served an estimated 300 million cups of clean water.

4. How Does Bondh E Shams Serve and Develop Relationships with Local Communities On Your Behalf? 

Dignity and community development is core to our mission. We serve on behalf of our donors: we conduct pre and post installation surveys, conduct health camps and report all our finding back to donors using a our unqiue online reporting platform. 

A recent study in Lasbela, Pakistan showed a solar-powered OASIS box reduced diarrhea and cholera by over 75% and 88% in 383 adults, post-deployment, enhancing water quality and health. Please request us for the detailed report.

5. How Does Bondh E Shams Improve Donor Reporting?

Every donor is provided free access to our proprietary donor reporting portal with a unique login. 

  • Every OASIS Box is fitted with an internet-enabled live data monitoring system that collects and reports daily impact direct to you. 
  • This level of data transparency is a first in this sector and is a donor favorite.

Testimonials

"We face so many issues here regarding drinking water; the water is dirty, unhygienic and stomach infections and fevers are quite common. Sometimes it feels like the illnesses would never go away. We don’t have facilities for clean water, we have gotten used to consuming contaminated water. Bondh E Shams and its donors are doing us a great favor." Nayab from Lasbela, Balochistan

“We are grateful and full of prayers to Bondh E Shams and its donors for providing us with clean water. Our children will now have a chance to grow and prosper in life." Sameena bibi and Jeejal Mai from Cholistan, Punjab, Pakistan
