Water Wells
Everyone deserves access to clean water, but in areas of drought or rocky terrain a water well digging deep into the earth is the only solution
Building a water well for a community can save lives, keep families healthy and promote health among the most vulnerable. Water well charity is a special kind of water charity as it supports those areas where drought is common and water is extremely difficult to find.
790 million people around the world are forced to drink dirty and contaminated water as they do not have access to clean and safe drinking water. Almost 1 million people a year are dying from water-related diseases and illnesses every year. With 842,000 people dying from diarrhoea alone each year, unsafe water is the single biggest obstacle to the progression and health of communities in the developing world.
When you give water well charity, you’ll be helping entire communities and you will give families direct access to clean and safe water every single day.
The Prophet (saw) said that ‘The best form of charity is to give someone water (to drink).’ (Ibn Majah)
A water well is a simple but robust mechanism that can extract water from a greater depth of over 100 feet from the ground. Due their capacity in the volume of water they can extract and their durability, they can support entire communities (consisting of many households) with access to clean water, every single day, any time of the day.
Currently we are supporting the installation of water wells in Pakistan and Bangladesh for £750. In Africa we can support the installation of a water well in communities in Kenya and Somalia for £3,000. In parts of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kenya and Somalia, ongoing drought and a lack of rainfall has left millions of people continually thirsty. A lack of water also affects the food supply, as crops and vegetation is unable to grow, eventually leaving people with no food to eat.
