SADAQA JARIYA: THE ONGOING CHARITY

Sadaqa Jariya, the ongoing charity, gives you the chance to do something lasting that benefits people in need, and you too. During Ramadan and throughout the year, you can give Sadaqa Jariya by supporting humanitarian projects whose benefits carry on over time. Discover how with LIFE's projects!

WHAT IS SADAQA JARIYA?

Literally, Sadaqa Jariya means “continuous charity”. It is an act of charity whose effect lives on. For example, planting a tree or building a well is Sadaqa Jariya, because the help it brings will benefit people over the long term.The good deeds of Sadaqa Jariya keep accumulating for as long as the beneficiaries can benefit from your gift, even after your death. Sadaqa Jariya is also a tribute you can pay to your loved ones, living or departed.

BUILD A WELL FOR A VILLAGE

Access to clean drinking water is a real challenge for many communities. In some countries, more than half the population has no access to clean drinking water, and people regularly have to walk for kilometres to fetch a little water, which is sometimes contaminated. And the situation keeps getting worse.Acting now to provide lasting access to clean water by building a well and drilling water points helps a whole village move towards self-sufficiency and gives its people better living conditions.Many children regularly walk several kilometres to fetch water to help their families, which deprives many of them of an education.Helping to build a well supplies good-quality water to more than a hundred people. Thanks to ongoing charity, LIFE can build wells for communities in need, and also maintain them to ensure a reliable, lasting supply of good-quality water.Don't wait: take action today

PLANT A TREE

More than 3.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are released into our atmosphere every day. For our sake and our children's, we must act quickly and give them a planet where they can grow up in peace.€2, 1 tree: that's the idea behind the Sapousse programme! Deforestation doesn't just cause pollution; it also deprives some communities of firewood, shade in sunny countries, the means to protect animal species and access to food.When you plant trees online, LIFE commits to planting them on the ground!In Indonesia, for example, the mangrove is a breeding ground for many animals and also an essential resource for villagers, who use it to make fabrics and harvest its fruit.Planting trees is one of the finest forms of Sadaqa Jariya: a planted tree provides food and resources to communities for as long as it lives and they can benefit from it, while also fighting global warming.

GIVE A FAMILY A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS

Looking to make a positive difference to the lives of vulnerable people? Ongoing giving to build decent homes adapted to climate change is the ideal way!
