Well of Hope: A Humanitarian Initiative by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed

Around 844 million individuals around the globe have no access to clean water, and with the climate change we’re facing, this number is expected to rise unless countries start to take some serious action to help limit this or better yet eliminate the issue.

The ‘Well of Hope’ initiative thrives to do so; by bringing clean drinking water to those in need all over the world. The initiative is launched by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

The initiative works on bringing together both the public and private sectors; to help combat water scarcity. It is a collective effort from the government and private entities to ensure that those in need for clean water get access for it.

The project will take place during the holy month of Ramadan, and will include workers from twenty authorities and businesses pumping water through a digital device. A fair amount of the water pumped will be given to the less fortunate, by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives.

Those interested in taking part of such a great initiative, can apply by using the hashtag #Wellofhope.

“The aim is to remind people of the great value of water and demonstrate the difficulties hundreds of millions face to get access to water. Small gestures can make a big difference to ourselves before others.”

Such a humanitarian campaign will surely contribute in highlighting worldwide water scarcity concerns, and turn the attention of people and organization towards the issues that matter.

It is indeed going to be a blissful month!
