Water Well Charities UK: Build a Well as Sadaqah Jariyah

Building a water well is one of the most impactful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. Compare UK charity options here.

Building a water well is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked which charity is best, and he replied: "Providing water." (Abu Dawud)

Why Water Wells Matter

2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. In rural communities across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tanzania, and Africa, families — especially women and girls — walk hours daily to collect water from contaminated sources. Waterborne diseases kill hundreds of thousands of children every year.

Provide clean water access as Sadaqah Jariyah for communities.
