Give The Gift Of Water 2025
Every year, 3.4 million people die from water-related illnesses (WHO). Unsafe drinking water is the leading obstacle to health and development, especially in developing countries.
Since 1993, Muslim Hands has provided tens of thousands of people with clean drinking water in countries including Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Yemen and others.
We offer a range of water solutions including tube wells, community wells, solar-powered wells, water filtration plants and boreholes.
Our global teams of experts conduct thorough needs assessments, ensuring each well meets the needs of the communities we serve and is built to last so you continue to receive rewards for your donation long after you give.
Build A Water Well
The best Sadaqah Jariyah
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "The best form of charity is giving someone water to drink" (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 3684).
Why should I donate my well with Muslim Hands?
We have provided underprivileged communities with access to clean water for over 30 years.
We specialize in installing various types of wells including Tube Wells, Dig-a-Wells, Community wells, Solar-powered Wells as well as Reverse Osmosis Filtration Plants and Boreholes.
Through the years, we have installed thousands of wells, benefitting hundreds of thousands of people. Our technicians and engineers use high-quality materials to ensure every well is built to last.
This commitment to excellence means your donation not only supports communities in need but also guarantees lasting impact, allowing you to reap the rewards of your generosity for years to come.
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.
Will I get feedback on my water well donation?
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 6-10 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?
Yes, you can. Dedicating a well in memory of a loved one who has passed away is considered the best form of Sadaqah Jariyah.
In sha Allah, they will continue to reap the rewards of your generosity.

Give Communities the Precious Gift of Life
785 million people around the world who don’t have clean water. That’s one in 10 people globally. And despite our tedious efforts, 2.2 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water worldwide. Without this basic need, disease and child mortality rates increase dramatically.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) 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"'.
