Quenching Thirst, Reviving Lives – Your Sadaqah in Action

Clean water is life. For many communities, it is a distant dream. Women and children walk miles under the scorching sun just to fetch a few buckets of unsafe water. But together, we are changing that story.

Through the Human Aid Foundation, we have already installed over 114 hand pumps in water-scarce regions, giving thousands of people access to safe drinking water. Our target is clear — 300 hand pumps by the end of this summer — and this mission will not stop there.


Water Wells – A Deeper Gift of Life

Unlike hand pumps, water wells reach much deeper into the ground, providing long-lasting, sustainable access to clean water for entire villages. By Allah’s grace, we have already completed 19+ water wells, and every drop from them is a mercy for those who drink.


The Reward of Giving Water

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best charity is giving water to drink.” – [Ahmad]

When you provide a hand pump or a water well, you’re not just giving water — you’re giving health, dignity, and hope. This Sadaqah Jariyah continues to benefit you for years, as every sip taken by a thirsty soul is a reward written in your book of deeds.

HAF Clean Water Projects in Pakistan

  • In total, 114+ Clean Water hand pumps have been installed in underserved areas across Pakistan.

  • These efforts ensure that women and children no longer travel miles to fetch water, saving time and lives.

Sadaqah Jariyah

Provide Clean Drinking Water

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity), beneficial knowledge, or a virtuous child who prays for him.” – [Sahih Muslim]

Over 2 billion people lack safe, clean water. Each year, infections from unsafe births alone claim 1 million lives. Women and children walk miles, often barefoot, carrying heavy water through dangerous terrain.

At Human Aid Foundation, we fight water poverty by providing safe, reliable water for drinking, cooking, and washing — preventing deadly diseases and restoring dignity.

Your donation can be life-changing. Support our clean water projects today and earn ongoing reward.

Why Should I Build A Well? The Best Charity

Imagine life without clean water — this is the harsh reality for countless families across the world. Contaminated water leads to deadly diseases, while the absence of basic hygiene robs entire communities of their health and dignity.

At Human Aid Foundation, we believe providing clean water is not just charity — it’s a profound act of worship. Whether it’s a single glass or a long-term water project, giving water for the sake of Allah ﷻ carries immense reward — especially in these blessed days.

Save Lives

Dirty water remains one of the leading causes of sickness in developing countries, especially for children. Every time your donation saves a life, it’s as if you have “saved all of mankind” (Qur’an 5:32).

Sadaqah Jariyah

Clean water changes lives. It reduces disease, keeps children in school, and allows families to thrive. It is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah.

Sa’d ibn Ubadah reported: “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “Yes.” I asked, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet said, “A drink of water.” – [Sunan al-Nasa’i 3664]

Not everyone can fund an entire water project — but what matters most is your sincerity. Every drop counts.

Your donation to Human Aid Foundation’s ‘Water for Life’ campaign will directly help families in the most water-scarce regions. It will give them the most basic yet essential resource they need to survive and rebuild.

💧 Hand Pump – £150 – Provide daily clean water to a family.
💧 Water Well – £550 – Give safe water to an entire community.

Be part of a legacy of life-saving water and ongoing reward. Donate today, and let your charity benefit generations to come.

Jazakum Allah Khayr for supporting Human Aid Foundation. Together, we can quench both thirst and despair.

Frequently asked questions

Here you can find the most common questions from other donors related to this appeal.

How long will it take to build a well?
We estimate that wells will take 4-12 months to complete. This is because we ensure suitable locations are chosen, and the site is thoroughly inspected before we begin the building process. Build time can vary from country to country and with adverse weather conditions.
What is the life expectancy of a well?
Depending on the region, it can last up to 10 years, depending on the country and the well’s usage.
Will I receive information when my well is built?
We do not issue progress reports; however, donor enquiries are welcome. We ask that donors allow up to 12 months for completion, after which they will receive a short completion report.
 
What’s included in my completion report?
We produce a completion report for every well donated. The report includes the exact location of the well and photographs of the well with its personalised plaque. You can specify the short plaque name when you make the donation (Note: plaque will appear exactly as stated, so please review your spelling carefully etc.)
 
Who maintains and safeguards the well after it’s built?
We work with local partners on the ground to ensure all wells are regularly maintained and safeguarded. We have a community-based maintenance system for beneficiaries. For major issues, communities are advised to contact our local partners, who contact the relevant One Ummah Office.
Why are wells not Zakat applicable?
At HAF, we typically distribute zakat to beneficiaries in the form of cash, which enables them to apply it towards their specific needs. It is important to note that we do have a select number of projects that are considered zakat eligible at Human Aid Foundation, and these can be found in detail on our appeals page.
