Every year, 3.5 million people lose their lives due to unsafe water, poor sanitation, and hygiene (UN). In many communities, clean water is still out of reach. Families rely on contaminated sources. Children miss school. Preventable diseases spread.

A borehole can change that.

At Muslim Hands Canada, we provide sustainable water solutions where they’re needed most — and offer donors the opportunity to give a lasting form of Sadaqah Jariyah.

What is a Borehole?

A borehole is a deep, narrow hole drilled into the ground to reach clean water trapped in underground layers called aquifers.

A borehole can serve thousands of people daily and is installed in areas with limited access to water, ensuring clean drinking water is available for decades. They reduce disease, save time, and support education.

Unlike surface water, this water is protected from contamination. It can be pumped out and used for drinking, washing, farming, and daily needs.

Providing Water is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah?

For Muslims, donating water is a powerful act of Sadaqah Jariyah, a charity that continues to benefit others long after we’re gone.

"When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a child who prays for them" (Muslim, 1631).

Why Build a Well with Muslim Hands Canada?

For over 30 years, we have been transforming lives by providing clean drinking water to underprivileged communities across the globe.

Will I Get Feedback on my Water Well Donation?

Muslim Hands provides 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.

To date, we've completed thousands of water well installations, delivering safe, long-lasting access to water to hundreds of thousands of people. Our skilled technicians and engineers use high-quality, durable materials to ensure every well is built to last.

Clean water isn’t just about survival—it’s the foundation for healthier families, better education, and stronger communities that thrive.

Your generosity helps us create a lasting impact, one well at a time.

Be the reason someone drinks clean water today.
