Water Relief FAQ's

Where are the wells built, and can I choose the location?

We build Tube Wells, Community Wells, and Dig-a-Wells in Mali, Niger, and Pakistan. We also rehabilitate existing water systems in Yemen. You can choose your well location. If you are unsure about where to select your well, you have the option to donate to ‘Where Most Needed’ allowing you to reach the most vulnerable families.

How does Muslim Hands Canada select the well location?

We work with experts and community leaders on the ground in each location. These partners carry out periodic assessments, analyzing the needs of each community to determine the best location for each type of well.

How long does it take for a well to be constructed?

It can take anywhere from six to eight months to build a well. This timeline is an estimate - location and weather conditions may affect timelines.

It depends on which well you are donating. For example, a Tube Well with proper maintenance can last up to 10 years, while a Community Well and a Borehole can last up to 15-20 years.

Who maintains the well after it has been built?

Every time we install a well, we also train, educate, and support local community members, ensuring they have the skills to maintain the well.
