USKA WATER AID PROJECT 2026
IN THE NAME AND MEMORY OF KHUZAIMAH DOUGLAS AND AZMAT YAQUB
We are proud to announce that our 2026 USKA Charity Gym Project will once again be delivered in partnership with ISRA-UK.
ISRA-UK is a Birmingham-based charity that has been operating for over 40 years, with a mission to relieve poverty worldwide and to bring lasting change, hope and prosperity to communities in need.
This year, we are committing to a life-changing water aid initiative, funding the installation of 2 Solar Powered Submersible Water Pumps in Pakistan, 2 Borehole Water Wells in Uganda and 2 Large Tube Well Hand Water Pumps in Pakistan.
The total cost of this project will be £6,100, with any excess funds raised rolling over into next year's charity project.
This project will be carried out in memory of our dearly loved and missed students, Khuzaimah Douglas and Azmat Yaqub, whose legacy continues to inspire everything we do.
Project Breakdown:
Solar Powered Submersible Water Pumps in Pakistan – £1,600 each
These pumps are highly effective in remote areas, particularly in regions of southern Pakistan. Powered by solar energy, they generate electricity to operate a motor that draws water directly from underground sources, providing a sustainable and long-term solution for communities with limited infrastructure.
Borehole Water Wells in Uganda – £1,150 each
Millions of people in Uganda, especially children, still lack access to clean and safe drinking water. A single borehole well can transform an entire community, providing clean water for hundreds, sometimes thousands of people. Access to safe water helps prevent disease, improves sanitation and creates opportunity. Children no longer need to spend hours each day collecting water, allowing them to attend school and work towards a brighter future.
Large Tube Well Hand Water Pumps in Pakistan – £300 each
Tube well hand pumps are a vital lifeline for communities facing extreme water scarcity. Manually operated and drawing water from approximately 30 metres below ground, they provide reliable access to underground water sources. Their simple design makes them easy to use and maintain, empowering local communities with a sustainable solution to their water needs.
All of these projects will be carried out in communities where access to clean water is limited or non-existent. These installations will provide life-saving access to water for drinking, crop irrigation and market gardening, supporting both health and long-term economic sustainability.
We are incredibly proud to support ISRA-UK in delivering these essential resources to those who need them most.
We kindly ask for your support. Please give generously to help us reach our target and make a real difference.
Together, we can help change lives!

For our 2025 Charity Project, USKA Fight Factory once again proudly partnered with As-Suffa Relief, a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities both across the UK and internationally. Their primary mission is to provide essential food support to individuals and families facing food insecurity.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, £10,000 was raised.

- • The remaining £5,000 will fund the distribution of food parcels to 125 families, supplying essential groceries and ensuring access to nutritious staple foods over an extended period.
Each food parcel costs £40 and is capable of sustaining a family of five.
Through this project, we are not only providing nourishment but also helping to restore dignity, stability, and hope to families experiencing hardship. Because of the generosity of the USKA community, we are making a real and lasting difference — ensuring that no child, no mother, and no elderly person is left without a meal.

USKA ORPHAN SPONSORSHIP 2024 COMPLETE
IN THE NAME AND MEMORY OF KHUZAIMAH DOUGLAS AND AZMAT YAQUB
For our Charity project for 2024 the USKA Fight Factory teamed up with Charity partners As-Suffa Relief which is a UK-based charity devoted to providing essential support and care to vulnerable communities both here in the UK and abroad. For this year's goal we decided to raise £10,000 and chose Orphan Sponsorship for children all around the world as our mission.
Being an orphan anywhere in the world is a serious challenge, whilst being an orphan in a land facing war, poverty, disasters and calamities present added extreme challenges which can be truly unbearable. There are more than 150 million children worldwide who are orphans and without the love, comfort, care and attention of a parent, a child is left in limbo, struggling to survive or even reach their potential in life. This year we intended to help provide urgent care, comfort, support and sponsorship to many orphans in Palestine, Lebanon and Pakistan.
Through a number of Charity initiatives throughout the year and through the kindness of our USKA Fight Factory family and friends we are pleased to announce that we have hit our total and have raised £10,000 to fully support 23 orphans for an entire year, offering these vulnerable children the stability, care, and opportunities they urgently need. This funding will go directly towards covering essential expenses such as food, water, clothing, education, shelter and healthcare for each child, ensuring they are nurtured in a safe and supportive environment. Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God), Through this fundraising we have made a substantial difference in children's lives, Our contribution will be providing hope and opportunities for a brighter future.
Thank you, We are truly grateful for every single person that has contributed this year to our project, may God bless you all.

USKA CHARITY WATER AID AND OLIVE TREE PLANTATION PROJECT 2021
IN THE NAME AND MEMORY OF KHUZAIMAH DOUGLAS
Continuing on from last years Charity project and on the advice from our Charity partners at ISRA-UK where aid was most needed we again decided that we would stick with providing water aid in Pakistan in a Community that has little or no clean water supply. These water solutions provide life-saving access to water for drinking, crop irrigation and market gardening.
With fund raising events the charitable contributions from the members and friends of USKA Fight Factory we raised a staggering £6,331.87. This phenomenal effort affords us to buy 4 Solar Powered water wells in Pakistan at the cost of £1550 each and with the remainder of £131.87 we are able to fund the plantation of 22 Olive trees in Gaza, Palestine in the memory of our much loved and lost friend and Brother Khuzaimah Douglas.
JazakAllah Khir for everyone's kindness and hard work on the project.

USKA CHARITY WATER AID AND OLIVE TREE PLANTATION PROJECT 2020
IN THE NAME AND MEMORY OF KHUZAIMAH DOUGLAS
Despite a difficult year due to the Global Covid Pandemic our main Charity project seen us raise funds through our Charity partners at ISRA-UK to build three Solar Powered water well pumps in Pakistan at the cost of £4,500. Through tremendous generosity and hard work £5,152 was raised allowing us to build the first pump in the small Jungaho village in the desert area known as Achro Thar, Sindh, the second in the small Rajar Khipro village in the same desert area in Pakistan and the third pump in Rataniyari Khasheli Village in Tharparker Desert. These pumps have benefited the locals who are largely peasant workers that struggle to get by day to day earning as little as $20 per month. The relief of accessing clean palatable water is more than a blessing for these communities. These pumps have also removed the daily burden for the villagers walking long distances to find usable water. With an additional £652 raised, an additional 110 Olive trees were planted in Gaza, Palestine.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the project and also to everyone who has kept and who continue to keep Zaymi and his family in their thoughts and their prayers. Jazakallah to you all, may God reward you with goodness.

USKA CHARITY WATER AID PROJECT 2019
IN THE NAME AND MEMORY OF AZMAT YAQUB
To all at USKA Fight Factory,
Thank you all for your ongoing support in the fight against poverty,
I have been following your achievements and progress online and mashallah you guys have smashed both in competitions and with your fundraising we counted the bucket for the Spring Well in Uganda and it was near enough to £950 the cost of the well, after a little extra top up by Neil. That was December 2019.
Now February 2020 Your Spring Well is now benefiting the local villagers. You will be rewarded for every drop.
It delights us at Isra-UK that we have you all in our corner as we endeavour to knock out poverty.
Alhamdulillah this year 2020 the project to provide a solar powered clean water station is under way. With your help a poor village in rural Pakistan where the temperature can reach over 50 degrees, will get fresh, clean, life saving water.
Life is full of ups and downs may you all have many more ups than downs. Osu.
Yours sincerely
Rashid Campbell
