Community Water Well Details
Access to clean water can change lives. Our Community water wells can serve more than 1,000 people. They are often located in scorched areas where water is particularly scant.
The wells are 1.5 meters wide and draw water from around 10 meters or more beneath the ground, making them useful during all seasons. These water wells provide enough clean water for families, livestock and crops.
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.
Dig-a-Well
‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, “Which charity is best?” He replied, “[Providing] water”’. [Abu Dawud]
The gift of a Dig-a-Well can provide around 35 families with access to clean water for drinking, washing and cooking, as well as keeping livestock hydrated. On average, these wells serve up to 200 people.
Dig-a-Wells are ideal for families who rely on agriculture and farming. The wells draw water from up to 40 meters beneath the ground making them dependable during all seasons.
