We wanted to honor our father's memory with a legacy that would benefit a community in need in this world and our father, AlHaj Athiqul Haque Laskar, in the next. To honor his legacy, we are partnering with “Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD)” to build a water well in Kenya through their Water for Life (WFL) program. As Muslims, we believe in “sadaqah jariyah” which essentially means an action of good that will spread in a person’s name, long after they are gone.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased)” [Sahih Muslim – Book 13 – Hadith 4005]
We pray that our father may reap the rewards for everyone that will benefit from this water well in Kenya for years to come. We appreciate any contributions you can make; any monetary donation, any prayer or thought for Athiqul and our family. May Allah (swt), The Most Merciful, accept this effort and grant him the highest level of Paradise.
With your kind and generous contributions, we will be able to honor our father’s practices of charity.

Clean water is critical for the survival of human beings, especially for the development of children.
Around 50% of the population does not have basic water supply. Water is purchased from private suppliers, which is expensive, or families fetch water from far and unsafe open water sources. While men go out to earn for the family, usually young girls help their mothers to get water. Due to this many of them school, and this hard labor has a negative effect on their health. In some instances, these women and girls are assaulted on their journey.
When you help, a family receive water the impact if far greater than you can imagine.
We can come together to support a water well with shallow water pump for one community in Somalia that will help countless households. Girls and their mothers will no longer have to travel long distances, saving for them time, energy, and health. Your support will provide an opportunity for an education, employment and a healthier lifestyle. In the last three years, HHRD has done over 60 water projects in Somalia.
When you support this Sadaqa Jariyyah project in honor of our father there is everlasting reward for him, and Insha’Allah for all those who participate in this noble cause.
