Part II

The school that Fatima's water project has been built in is an all girls school called Beit Hanoun Preparatory - School B. 

May God free the men, women, and children of Palestine and make their lives easier, Ameen!

Salaam to you all! I hope this email finds you in the best of health and Imaan. It has been quite a while since we have reached out to you all. We have been working diligently behind the scenes on completing and maintaining our projects implemented in honor of our dear sister, Fatima, Allah Yerhamo. Recently, we were able to physically visit Fatooma's water projects (for the second time) in Rwanda, Africa. It is safe to safe, that the villagers are extremely grateful and appreciative. The gardens and animals that were also donated by this campaign are thriving. We will attach multiple pictures and a video that is private to the public, but accessible to those with the link. 

Also, we will attach photographs, in a separate email, of the finished water project in Gaza dedicated to Sister Fatooma. It was completed in March 2018 and has been fully functional since then. Unfortunately, with the volatile unrest in Gaza, it has been extremely difficult to receive updates, but we are grateful for the content that we have thus far. As always, we continue to make dua for Sister Fatooma, her family, and this community. We thank you for your trust and we welcome any questions and/or concerns. Please reach out to us directly at info@zamzamwater.org. Thank you!

Salaam Alaikum to all, 

My name is Yusuf Nessary, founder and President of Zam Zam Water. I wanted to personally reach out to you all and thank you for your continued support and to recognize the success of such a personal and important campaign in honor of Sister Fatima Hassuneh, Allah Yerhamo. Through these projects, we not only wish to acknowledge her life and legacy, but her friends and family that have answered the call to provide her Saddaqa Jarriya in the hereafter, in the most honorable way. 

I want to update all on exactly where the funds have gone and where they will be going, inshAllah. Please not that all details and actions have been approved by Fatima's closest family members. 

We recently came back from our trip to Rwanda and the pictures below are from 2 water projects in 2 different villages; Ruhanga and Rwamacumu. The water projects were still in the constructive process, but it was a great opportunity to meet with the villagers and share the story fo Fatima and how her life has impacted theirs. 

The 2nd phase of the project will be towards a water project in Gaza. To be exact: we will be manufacturing a water desalination system that will be built in Gaza, by Gazans, serving hundreds of boys and girls at a school. We expect that water system to be completed and fully functional by the end of December and installed just in time for school to begin in January 2018. Cost of water project: $16,000.00 USD. Picture below is an example of one our current water projects in Gaza:

The 3rd phase will be dedicated towards our Education is Life-Afghanistan project. We will build, cultivate, and farm a plot of land in honor of Fatima with the intention to raise crops, meat, and dairy products to serve daily lunches for our 2 operating orphan education centers in Kabul and Logar, Afghanistan, that serves over 450 orphaned boys and girls. The remaining amount of funds: $16,353.92 will go directly towards this investment into the sustainable access of nutritious food and milk for our orphan students. Expected completion: Spring 2018. Below is a photograph of site of our new school we built in Afghanistan and the plot of land associated to the project: 

Again, we appreciate you all tremendously and hope that we can continue to be as transparent as possible with our efforts. If anyone has any questions pertaining to the project, the process, etc., you can reach me directly at info@zamzamwater.org. We will also go ahead and add everyone to our mailing list to receive periodic updates to the projects and their progress. Thank you all!

Sincerely, 

Yusuf A. Nessary 

Dear Friends, 

First and foremost, thank you for your continued generosity towards this project. As we continue to exceed every goal we set, and very quickly at that, we will push towards new heights until the end of the campaign period. The new goal has been set at $40,000, and we hope to surpass that as well! With each penny raised, the money will go towards one of the projects listed on the campaign page. Thank you to everyone for your generosity and please keep the message spreading, so we continue to exceed expectations together and honor Fatooma's legacy.

Dear Friends,

With your outpouring support and generosity our initial goal of $10,000 has been surpassed and the goal has been changed a few times ! The goal is now at $35,000 :)

The campaign will now be able to fund:

• Two water wells in Rwanda, Africa in the respective villages of Rwamacuhumu & Ruhanga (construction has already begun; see pictures below)
• Provide 30 goats and establish 60 community vegetable gardens to those villages to foster sustainability 
• Sponsor a water purification system in schools in Gaza, Palestine that will cost $16,000 to provide clean drinking water to hundreds of school children 
• Build a water well in a village in Afghanistan to serve a plethora of people
