Each well takes approximately three to six months to complete, making it a meaningful and lasting gift.
What is the Difference Between Your Water Wells?
The difference in our wells is determined by the volume of water they can produce, the number of people they can benefit, and their depth.
Since 1993, the Muslim Hands family has:
Will I Get Feedback on My Water Well Donations?
Muslim Hands provides personalized feedback reports for every well that is donated. This includes a photo of the well along with a location (village and city), allowing you to see the impact of your gift.
A plaque with your name/name of a loved one and other details can be placed on the well. It can take three to six months to install a well depending on where it is located and weather conditions.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us anytime.
Can I Donate a Well on Behalf of a Loved One?
Dedicating a well on behalf of a loved one, including the deceased, is a powerful way to honor their memory and provide them with continuous blessings.
It creates a lasting legacy that benefits communities while earning ongoing rewards for the person in whose name the charity is given.
It’s a meaningful way to ensure your loved one continues to gain Allah’s mercy and blessings, even after they have passed.
You will also receive personalized feedback and a certificate in their name, which honors their legacy and makes a lasting impact on those in need.

Give Communities the Precious Gift of Life
785 million people around the world don’t have clean water. That’s one in ten people globally. And despite our tedious efforts, 2.2 billion people still lack access to clean drinking water worldwide. Without this basic need, disease and child mortality rates increase dramatically.
The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said, “The greatest form of charity is providing clean water to those in need.” Muslim Hands assesses the water needs of vulnerable communities, constructing different types of wells.
Your support means women no longer spend hours fetching water from dangerous sources, children can go back to school, communities can stay free from diseases, and agricultural lands can flourish.
Our work doesn’t stop once we build wells. We train local families to maintain wells so countless people can receive this precious gift for years.
Give the best form of Sadaqah Jariyah, the gift of clean water.
'The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, "Which charity is best?" He replied, “[Providing] water"'.
