Hey Panda Gang,
I am your one and only Panda Boom aka Zizi Boom.
As requested by many of you, this Ramadan 2026 all of you wanted to fund the Sindh Thar Pakistan water shortages project.
Since 2019, Sindh and the Thar Desert in Pakistan has been facing severe water shortages. The crisis has worsened over the years. In 2025 it was reported that the water crisis has become life threatening for habitants within the area. 90% reduction in rainfall and over 80% of households are restricted to drinking unsafe water, due to the lack of water supply infrastructure.
Throughout the year the Thar area faces droughts, with only 9mm of rainfall. In the summer months, with extreme heat and no signs of rain, the situation is fatal for women men and children.
The need for water pumps within the area is a critical requirement. People from around the world are donating hand pumps to the area to reduce the crisis as much as possible.
What you can do;
Donate towards a water pump or pay for a full one. The water pumps will be placed in secure buildings near schools. Fund a pump as Sadkah Jarriyah, in your name or in the name of a loved one.
To donate
The cost is £300 per water pump including labour. The duration for each pump to be installed is between 4-6 weeks. A video will be sent to you once your water pump is installed within the area.
Type of water Pumps you are paying for;
A 90,000 PKR approximately £240 (depending on exchange rate) budget in Pakistan typically covers high-end, 1 HP to 2 HP stainless steel centrifugal pumps, depth 80ft to 180ft.
There are cheaper pumps in the market and other charities are offering cheaper pumps, however they will not be suitable for the durability and discharge of water supply within the Sindh area, due to the level of droughts in and around the area.
The Best Charity: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) identified providing water as the best charity, which offers ongoing rewards (Sadaqah Jariyah).
LET'S DO THIS...
One Love,
Panda Boom aka Zizi Boom
