More than 2 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water. By donating a water well as Sadaqah Jariyah, you can provide lifesaving clean water to vulnerable communities across Africa, protect families from waterborne diseases, and earn continuous rewards in the hereafter. Support trusted Islamic water charity projects in Kenya, Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Tanzania.
The Global Water Crisis: A Call to Save Lives
The global water crisis continues to affect millions of families every day. Without access to clean water, entire communities remain trapped in illness, poverty, and suffering. Contaminated water sources lead to deadly diseases, while women and children are forced to walk miles daily to collect unsafe water—often at great personal risk.
One Ummah is actively working on the ground to tackle water poverty by delivering sustainable water solutions, including borehole wells and hand pumps, to areas facing severe water shortages. With your generosity, safe drinking water can become a reality for those who need it most.

The Greatest Charity in Islam: Providing Water
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Providing clean drinking water is among the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. When Sa’d ibn Ubadah (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ which charity was best, he replied:
“Giving water.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i)
Donating a water well ensures ongoing reward for every drop of water consumed.
Build a Water Well & Change Lives Forever

Why Donate a Water Well? The Rewards of Giving Water in Islam
1. Save Lives & Earn Immense Reward
Unsafe water is one of the leading causes of death in developing countries. Allah says:
“Whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved all of mankind.”
(Qur’an 5:32)
Your water well donation directly saves lives and fulfills a profound act of mercy.
2. Gain Forgiveness Through Charity
The Prophet ﷺ told of a woman who was forgiven by Allah for giving water to a thirsty dog:
“So Allah forgave her because of that.”
(Bukhari)
Imagine the reward of providing water to entire villages—SubhanAllah.
3. Create an Everlasting Sadaqah Jariyah
A water well is a legacy of goodness. It improves health, allows children to attend school, supports livelihoods, and continues to benefit others long after you are gone.
