As-Salaam-Alaikum! Can We Rely on Humanappeal for Our Sadaqah?

Wa alaikum assalam! I recently committed to raising funds for a deployment project with Humanappeal, with the intention that the money would provide aid in Kenya, insha'Allah. However, I came across some concerning information. A video was shared showing that they reportedly left a village project unfinished, and other comments mentioned that water wells they constructed only function properly for about a year and require significant upkeep. This has made me question whether I should continue my fundraising efforts for them. Brothers and sisters, based on your knowledge, is Humanappeal a trustworthy organization for our charitable donations?

I haven't had issues with them personally, but these claims are serious. Maybe pause and investigate further.

Saw that video too. Felt really bad for the community. We need charities that finish what they start.

Always check an org's track record thoroughly before fundraising. Maybe look into Islamic Relief or other alternatives?

Do your own research, brother. There are many good organizations out there. Don't let one potential issue stop your sadaqah, just redirect it.

That's worrying. Sustainability is key for charity projects. A well that breaks in a year isn't much help.

Yeah, I've heard similar stories. Makes you wonder where the money really goes. Might be better to donate locally where you can see the impact.

I donated to them for a water project last year. No updates since. Really disappointing if what you're saying is true.
