The late Maira Malik from Horseheads, NY, is being honored by her family through a fundraiser aimed at providing clean water in Africa. Maira’s family is fundraising for a water well in her memory, reflecting their commitment to addressing the global issue of water scarcity.
Organized by Sana Malik, the fundraiser titled "Maira’s Gift: Clean Water for Africa" has raised $1,195 of its $1,200 goal as of yesterday. Donations have come from several contributors, including Lubna Ghani ($360), Nabila M. Raja ($125), Queena Malik ($100), Romana Pasha ($50), and Mohsin Malik ($100), among others.
The initiative highlights the critical need for access to clean and safe water, particularly in rural African communities where women and children often travel long distances to fetch water from contaminated sources. The water well project aims to provide a sustainable solution, improving health outcomes and empowering communities by reducing the burden of water scarcity.
Through this effort, Maira Malik’s family not only honors her memory but also creates a lasting impact on communities in need, demonstrating the profound difference that access to clean water can make in people’s lives.
