Send Ajr to Your Late Loved Ones by Saving Lives In Thar For The Next 15 to 20 Years

5-year-old Sammu died in his mother’s arms because of diarrhea caused by filthy water he drank.
The mother, Neha, had taken him to a hospital a few days ago and the doctor had warned her that the water he was drinking was the cause of his life-threatening diarrhea.
Neha had two options:
To let Sammu die of thirst…
Or let him drink dirty water and let a disease take his life.
The choice is hard.
Should anyone ever have to make such a choice?
This is how people live in most villages in Thar…
Their lives revolve around their struggle for water…
Even if it is not safe for drinking!
A population of 1.6 million people is living without access to clean, fresh, drinkable water in the extremely hot desert…
Every year, they see hundreds of their children, pregnant women, elderly, and animals die of thirst, malnourishment, and water-borne diseases…
But they are unable to help their dying loved ones…
No Water = No Food
Did you know that Thar becomes full of greenery every time it rains?
Thar is a fertile desert…
…which means, if there is sufficient water, they can grow their crops and do agriculture.
Their crops can make them not only self-sufficient in food, but also improve their financial conditions and overall quality of life…
The better economic conditions will allow their children to pursue education, too…
The only problem is that rainfall is rare…
…and unreliable…
The desert of Thar faces severe water scarcity and, consequently, food scarcity because it relies on rainfall…

No Water = No Education
Unavailability of water impacts two main aspects of Thari lives:
Time: Most villagers have to walk 2 to 4 hours each day to bring back water for their families.
Since they need multiple pots of water each day for washing, drinking, cooking, and livestock, these duties are mostly assigned to women and children.
They spend their morning hours getting water – missing out on school.
Health: Water they bring back is stored in containers at room temperature for hours, contaminating water with germs.
These germs – combined with low immunity due to lack of food — result in water-borne diseases.
These diseases are the other reason why children cannot attend schools or perform very well.
A lot of their problems would end if they can get access to clean water.
If we join hands, Thar can see a better future…
We all can change the lives of millions…
…one deep-well water hand pump at a time.
Thar: A Graveyard of Hand Pumps
An ordinary hand pump can be installed within a few days… because it is dug down to only 50 to 70 feet deep…
Most of the water-scarce villages in Thar have such low underground water levels that with 80 feet, the hand pump fails to bring up water after a few weeks or months…
That is why, Thar is sometimes called a “graveyard of hand pumps.”
Ek Plate Biryani aims for longer-lasting solutions: Deep-Well Hand Pumps
Hand Pumps To Last 15 - 20 Years: Hows & Whys?
A deep-well hand pump goes down to about 150 feet deep…
Hand pumps with such depth easily cater to most areas with water scarcity.
These hand pumps work well in most of the Thar villages and last long.
We ensure longevity of hand pumps by providing the locals with the tools and training to repair and maintain the hand pump.
Our team visits the hand pump sites on a regular basis to check up on the proper functioning and to make sure that the villagers are not facing any issues.
These hand pumps stand out with some great benefits:
- Fresh water within their village
- Last about 15 to 20 years
- Good for 70 - 90 people every day
- Increased food production
- Saves 3 to 5 hours each day for the women
- Sufficient for about 100 animals each day
- Help reduce deaths and diseases by 40%
Sadqa E Jariya With The Best Form Of Charity
These two hadiths tell us the best ongoing charity.
Donating a deep-well water hand pump, which will last for years to come, will keep adding to your good deeds for years.
InshaAllah.
Sending Blessings & Rewards To Late Loved Ones
The best way to express our love to our late loved ones is by doing charity on their behalf…
The rewards of which will be cherished by them more than anything else…
And, what’s better than donating sadqa-e-jariya on their behalf with the best form of charity?
You can donate a hand pump in their name to honor their memory and send them rewards that will continue for years!
InshaAllah.
Ek Plate Biryani -- An Organization Created To Help YOU Reach Out To Those In Need
Ek Plate Biryani is the brainchild of a handful of us Canadian residents who wanted to give back to society.
We knew so many in the world are suffering. And, we wanted to help them.
When we set out to donate, we didn’t know who to trust. Most of the organizations did not offer enough proof.
There, we decided to go the extra mile and create a platform where anyone from any part of the world can help the needy…
Hence, Ek Plate Biryani came into being.
Ek Plate Biryani is a registered Not-For-Profit Organization based in Canada and operating in Pakistan and Bangladesh on a regular basis.
Our team includes a number of trained, professional, and honest operation managers and quality control managers, along with several volunteers.
We aim to help people in every possible way. So far, we have the following projects under our belt:
Ek Plate Biryani distributes ration packages containing full month’s grocery door-to-door in underprivileged areas regularly.
We provide fresh, ready-to-eat meals and nonperishable food rations for needy individuals. We have distributed food to about 2 Million people.
Our team has installed 35 hand pumps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, for the Rohingya community.
In Thar, Pakistan, we have installed 353 hand pumps to cope with water shortages.
We help a street school in Karachi with healthy lunches for students.
We have donated dialysis machines to SIUT, Pakistan’s best urology center.
Every year in winter, we distribute warm clothes and blankets in the slums of Karachi, Jamshoro (Pakistan), and Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh).
All this was possible because of your help.
In our setup, every penny is accounted for. We ensure you receive the proof whenever you need them.
This organization has been built for YOU. Where you can come forward to improve the conditions of your fellow beings.
This time, we are working to raise funds for hand pumps in Thar.
Our team at Ek Plate Biryani has decided to help as many of them as possible by installing hand pumps.
So far, with Allah’s help, we have successfully installed 353 handpumps in different villages across Thar… which means thousands of people already have easy access to clean water.
But, this is not enough.
Hundreds of thousands are still waiting.
We want to install hand pumps in the villages still waiting for water.
These hand pumps will allow them easy access to clean water in their own village for years to come.
InshaAllah.
You can join this movement by donating money and spreading the word.
To ensure 100% transparency, we take pictures and videos of the projects for proof and send them to individual donors. They are also shared on our website, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok as needed.
The rest can be shared with you upon request.
