On the authority of Sa‘d ibn ’Ubadah (ra) who said, ’I asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is best?” He [saw] replied, “Providing water”’. (Ibn Majah)
The lives of entire communities can be changed by having access to clean water. A Dig-a-Well donation can supply clean water for drinking, washing, cooking, and keeping livestock hydrated for up to 200 people. These wells typically provide water to 35 homes.
Dig-a-Wells are perfect for households who depend on farming and agriculture. The wells are dependable year-round because they pull water from as deep as 40 metres below the surface.
Your Dig-a-Well will be located in a public area like a mosque, school, or town square.
Note: A well can take up to 9-12 months to complete as in some locations they can only be constructed during certain times of year. Wells may be constructed with a pump or with a bucket at the discretion of our expert teams on the ground based on factors that determine which is most suitable on a case-by-case basis.
