Water Appeal
Give the Gift of Water & Help Save Lives
Today, two-thirds of the world’s population struggles without access to safe, clean water. But thanks to your ongoing support, we’re changing that — one well at a time.
Through our Water Appeal, your donations help us install water pumps, dig deep wells, and build filtration plants in poor and remote communities. You can even donate a water pump in someone’s name — a powerful way to honour a loved one while giving the gift of life.
Clean Water: A Lasting Sadaqah Jariyah
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
(Muslim)
Giving water is one of the most impactful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah — it benefits people every day for years to come. Whether you’re supporting a full well or a small pump, every drop counts.
Set up your water pump Sadaqah Jariyah today and bring lasting relief to those who need it most.

Why Donating Water Is a Lifesaving Act of Worship
Across the globe, over 2 billion people live without access to safe drinking water. For them, every sip carries the risk of disease — or worse. In Islam, donating water through a Water Appeal is not only one of the best forms of Sadaqah Jariyah, but also a way to protect life, restore dignity, and earn lasting reward.
By donating a water well or pump, you meet an urgent human need and perform an act of worship that continues to benefit others long after you’re gone.
Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported:
I said, “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?”
He said, “Yes.”
I said, “Which charity is best?”
He replied, “A drink of water.”
(Sunan al‑Nasā’ī, 3664)
