Build A Water Well

as a Sadaqah Jariyah gift for your parents for yourself for your loved ones for the dead for your hereafter for Jannah /continuous reward to help the needy to give the best charity to provide clean water

‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, “Which charity is best?” He replied, “[Providing] water”’.

Benefit yourself & others by providing clean water well

The best form of Sadaqa (Charity) in Islam for Muslims is to donate to dig a water well or build a water well pump which will provide clean water to the poor and needy of the Ummah. This is extremely rewarding deed because its a form of sadaqa al jariyah (continuing source of reward) for yourself or your loved ones, who is still alive or has returned to Allah.

It takes so many months to build, it had slipped my mind and I just remembered today. Jazakallahair brother for your help and all the people who helped to build the water pump, may Allah continue to bless and reward you all. AssalamuAlikum.

Your Water Well Is Saving Lives

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no option to choose the location ?

The location of the water well is determined and finalised by the planning team, who look at several factors like weather, security, accessibility, cost etc, before allocating a water well. If you really want us to build a water well to your selected location, then please contact us. We can discuss and see if we can accommodate your request.

Will I get regular updates ?

For progress updates, please email us from time to time so that we can update you. This is because we don’t have an automated system in place to send updates at the moment.

What proof of the water well will I get ?

After making the donation, you will get a receipt of donation. You will also get certificate of donation, pictures of the water well with plaque name and completion report after the water well is completed.

Can I get the certificate before the water well is built ?

Yes, we can send you the donation certificate on request before the water well is built. If you want it, then please email us after making the donation.

How long does the water well take to build ?

Shallow:        5-7 months

Semi-Deep:   6-9 months

Deep:             6-12 months

Community:   8-12 months

Bore Hole:     12-18 months

Is the water well maintained and serviced ?

Every water well has a local contact person who can raise any issue that is related to the donated water well. If an issue is raised then we look into it and service and maintain it if needed.

Will the final documents be sent via email or post ?

By default, all the completion  documents which includes, certificate, report, pictures and video are sent via email, which is the quickest and the safest way. If you want the documents to be sent via post then please email us with your request.

What should I put in "Enter Certificate Name" section ?

You can put anyone’s name. For eg. If you want to gift your parents by building a water well in their name, then you can put your parent’s name.

What should I put in "Enter Plaque Name" section?

Enter the name of the person for whom the water well is being built. 

Or enter whatever you want people to see when they are using the water well.

The plaque is attached to the water well. You will be able to see this in the picture that we send to you.

How many names/words are allowed in each certificate or plaque?

There are no limits to the names or words you can enter for the certificate and plaque.

But, more words will mean the text will be smaller. 

If we think that the amount of word is too much then we will contact you.

Can I give my Zakat towards building a water well?

It is permissible for you to spend your Zakat on building a water well. This is because those who do not have access to clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are most definitely in need, and needy people are – as per Allah’s (SWT) guidance – acceptable recipients of Zakat.

Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.”
