Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Charity International announced an important milestone in its efforts to provide clean drinking water to areas facing severe water shortages. In 2024, the organization drilled 8,860 wells and set up six desalination plants at a total cost of AED 34.2 million, focusing on countries in Africa and Asia that struggle with water access.

Mohammed Rashid bin Bayat, the Vice Chairman of Sharjah Charity International, emphasized that having clean water is essential for everyone. He stated, "Access to clean water is no longer a luxury; it has become a basic human right." He explained that the efforts are not just about giving water, but also about investing in the future of communities that are heavily affected by water shortages.

 

Bin Bayat highlighted that these projects do much more than provide water for drinking. They help improve health, create stability in communities, and boost local economies, especially in areas that depend on farming and raising animals.

 

Additionally, the organization built six desalination plants, which will offer a long-term solution for hundreds of thousands of people in need of water that is safe for drinking and farming.
