Why Water Wells Matter
A water well provides a long-term solution instead of temporary water deliveries.
Protects families from waterborne disease by providing safe, reliable water close to home.
Gives children more time for school and reduces hours spent collecting water.
Helps communities grow food and sustain livelihoods through reliable access to water.
Every drop provides ongoing benefit and reward for years to come.
Water is more than a basic necessity. It is health, dignity, opportunity, and hope. Yet millions of people across Pakistan, Somalia, and Bangladesh still live without reliable access to clean, safe water.
Every day, families walk for hours to collect water that is often contaminated and unsafe to drink. Children miss school, mothers sacrifice valuable time, and entire communities struggle to grow food, earn an income, and stay healthy.
By supporting Human Appeal's Water Well Appeal, you can help provide sustainable water solutions to communities facing drought, poverty, and displacement. Whether you choose to fund a deep water well in Pakistan, Somalia, or Bangladesh, your donation becomes a lasting source of clean water and a powerful act of Sadaqah Jariyah.
A Charity That Never Stops Giving
A water well is one of the most impactful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. Every drink taken, every child protected from illness, every crop watered, and every family supported becomes part of your ongoing reward.
Whether you choose Pakistan, Somalia, Bangladesh, or our Where Most Needed Water Fund, your generosity will continue benefiting communities for years to come.
Human Appeal has helped over 1.1 million people through water and sanitation projects, delivering sustainable solutions that continue serving communities long after construction is complete.
Every water well project is carefully planned, professionally managed, and monitored to ensure families receive safe, reliable water for years to come.
Why Give to the Where Most Needed Water Well Fund?
Bringing Clean Water Where It's Needed Most
What Will Your Legacy Be
Put the prophetic teaching of charity into practice. You can serve a whole community year after year. Every time your well allows a person to quench their thirst, grow a plant, feed an animal, or work instead of spending their day fetching water, that will be your blessed legacy.
You can even pool smaller donations with your friends, family or colleagues, and donate a water well together, reaping the ongoing rewards.
Nobody should be so desperate that they resort to drinking contaminated water.
Start your legacy and reap the blessings in the hereafter. Donate a well or contribute what you can, and continue the legacy of the Sahaba.
Give mercy now.
A Sadaqah Jariyah With Your Name on It
The Prophet (PBUH) described providing drinking water as the best charity. A well is a Sadaqah Jariyah; when you provide a water well to a vulnerable community, you reap the rewards for years to come.
We’ll even place a plaque in your name on the well, and send you a report on when and where your well was installed. Or you can donate the well in the name of a loved one, and they’ll reap the endless rewards of this charity – even after they are gone.
“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him.” (Hadith Muslim)
It’s an incredible blessing to be able to give, no matter how little, since charity offers blessings and protection in this life and the hereafter, and transforms the lives of people facing hardship around the world.
More and more people are providing clean water through Human Appeal. That’s because our local experts adapt our water solutions to the needs and environment that we work in – there’s no one size fits all, and that’s what makes for long-term, sustainable water access.
In 2022 alone, we helped a total of 1.1 million people through our safe water and sanitation projects. We installed a total of 693 deep water wells, and we also installed aquaponic and hydroponic farms, solar-powered water pumps, and almost completed our desalination plant in Gaza, serving 60,000 people.
Join the growing number of people who are donating water wells and reaping the ongoing blessings of this Sadaqah Jariyah.
It usually takes 1 year for us to build your well and send you your report. It takes this long to ensure that the well we install is in the best location for maximum impact and to source clean water.
Throughout the process, we supervise installation, and we then test the water quality at certified labs to make sure it’s clean and safe.
Only once this is complete, we install your plaque, take final photos, and write up a report which is checked, edited, and sent to you, the donor.
A well lasts a minimum of five years, but its lifetime depends on the quality and consistency of maintenance. Our wells have the capacity to last well beyond five years providing the source water hasn’t depleted and the well is properly maintained.
Even if a well lasts only five years – that means it costs less than 50p per day to provide water to a whole community!
We’ll send you a completion report, informing you that your well has been installed and is now providing clean, safe water to a whole community.
You’ll receive a full report that tells you where we installed it, what the situation was in the community, and how many people will benefit. We’ll also send you photos of the well, and of the plaque we’ve installed in your name or the name of your loved one.
Our selection is based on the need of the local community, and how far they currently have to travel to fetch clean water. For the exact position of the well, we hire a water expert to help us find sustainable water sources deep in the earth, that are far from any potential contamination – such as latrines – so that your well provides water year after year.
When choosing a location, we focus on communities in which a minimum of five families would benefit, though, on average, around 70 people benefit from one well.
Every time we install a well, we also train a water well committee in the local community. This means that those who benefit from the clean water also have the skills to maintain the well, ensuring that there’s always people nearby to make sure it’s used and preserved properly.
Yes! Since its benefits continue year upon year, donating a water well is a Sadaqah Jariyah, that provides the giver with ongoing rewards, even after they’re gone.
We’ve been installing water wells for 30 years. We don’t have a one-size-fits-all mentality, our experienced teams work with the local community and water experts to agree on what type of water solution works best. For example, where there is plenty of water, but it is unclean, we install filtration systems or water plants, where there is drought, we source groundwater and install a deep water well.
If you want your donation to have a lasting, transformative impact on a whole community, then entrust your water well to our experience and expertise.
“Every prophet has a companion in paradise,” said the Prophet (PBUH) “My companion there is Uthman.
Human Appeal is committed to providing aid in the country or program that you select. In the event we complete the program, exceed the required funds, or are denied access to a particular country for reasons beyond our control, Human Appeal reserves the right to reallocate your donation to another program where it is needed most.
