Phase I of the “Sip of Life” project is complete!

 

 

With pledges still coming in, The SMA Foundation is ecstatic to announce that Phase I of the Sip of Life project is complete! We are proud to share that within a week of the website’s initial launch…

 …SMA has raised over $10,000 and will be installing 35 deep water pumps in the South Punjab area of Pakistan!

This is just the beginning! The location where the pumps are going to be installed was severely affected by the 2010 floods in the region. These floods left over ten million people without homes and the area is still affected by the disaster to this day. In 2010, Gulae had worked diligently to raise funds to rehabilitate and rebuild over 30 homes in the Munirabad village. Her slogan for the fundraising at the time was, “Keeping Hope Afloat.” With the same spirit, SMA will continue working to make a difference in people’s lives and in turn honor Sophia Mahmood Ali! We are sure that she is smiling down from the heavens at all of us. A single water pump will provide clean drinking water for 35 houses!

Phase II of the Sip of Life project is underway and we hope to provide clean drinking water to as many people around the world as possible through the growth of this project. Additional current projects include Gulae’s Garden and Project24&Beyond. Be sure to check them out and let us know what you think!

We thank every single person who has contributed to Gulae’s legacy thus far. Each donation means the world to us, no matter how big or small. If any of this inspires you, kindly like and share our site on your social media and be a part of our journey!
