Over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, making the water crisis one of the most pressing global challenges, particularly in remote and impoverished communities. In Islam, providing water is considered one of the most virtuous acts of charity. Muslim Hands Canada addresses this urgent need through a variety of water projects, including Tube Wells, Dig-a-Wells, Community Wells, Boreholes, Water Filtration Plants and many more. Every time a well is built, donors receive a personalized feedback report with photos, details about the community served, and the impact of their contribution, ensuring their act of charity leaves a meaningful and lasting legacy.
