Yemen is facing one of the most severe water crises in the world. In the Taiz region, displaced families are living in makeshift camps with no stable access to clean water. Some wait hours for tanker deliveries that may not come. Others resort to unsafe sources, risking dehydration, disease, and even death. This is the reality for thousands of families already uprooted by war, and now enduring life without water.
This Muharram, turn mercy into action. As we reflect on the story of Karbala and the weight of thirst that defined it, we’re reminded of how thirst became a symbol of patience, struggle, and devotion. In these days, giving water carries deep significance. It reflects mercy, restores dignity, and connects us to a legacy rooted in compassion. This Muharram, you can honour that legacy by providing water in a land the Prophet ﷺ called his own.
A long-term solution in a region in crisis
SKT Welfare is currently delivering water tankers to displaced communities in Taiz. But these emergency deliveries are only a short-term solution. Families need consistent, reliable water — and they need it now.
That’s why we are launching a new initiative to build deep water wells inside the camps. These wells will ensure daily access to safe, clean water to restore dignity, improve health, and offer relief to families already facing extreme hardship.
£2,500 builds one water well
Each well serves hundreds of people daily. Our goal: 10 new wells this Muharram
Your support will ease the burden of entire communities, especially women and children who bear the brunt of water collection.
“The best charity is giving water to drink.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
