How does water affect sustainability? 

Water is something many of us use every day without thinking.  

But for millions of people, access to clean water is not guaranteed – it’s a daily challenge. 

Water is essential not only for survival but also for sustainability, shaping health, education, and economic growth. 

At The Zahra Trust, we see how access to clean water transforms lives. 

A Qur’anic reminder 

Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an:

“And We made from water every living thing.” 

Surah Anbiya, Ayah 30

This verse highlights the importance of water in sustaining life.
