In November 2011, a group of Delawarean Muslim kids decided to work together to raise funds for building a well. When we heard that the Zakat Foundation of America would be able to build a well in Africa if we could raise $3,000, we couldn’t wait to get started. It was tremendously exciting to think that we could help out in providing clean water for people halfway across the world.
Even though we started out as a small group of kids in Delaware, our project is expanding to different parts of the US. Please contact us on the Contact page to find out how you can be part of our project, too!
