About Africa (Various)

Across East and West Africa, Muslim communities face a combination of poverty, limited infrastructure, lack of access to clean water, and insufficient Islamic educational facilities. In countries including Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and various West African nations, rural Muslim communities often lack proper mosques, forcing families to pray in open fields or under trees. Clean water access remains a critical challenge, with millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa walking hours daily to reach unsafe water sources. Waterborne diseases are a leading cause of child mortality. Agricultural communities are vulnerable to climate change, with erratic rainfall patterns causing crop failures and food insecurity. Many Muslim-majority areas lack madrasahs and educational resources, limiting children's access to both secular and Islamic education. Our regional partners across East and West Africa implement comprehensive programmes including water well construction, mosque building, Quran distribution, food pack delivery during Ramadan, and community development initiatives that provide lasting benefit through Sadaqah Jariyah projects.

Delivery Method: Implementation through regional partners across East and West Africa. Projects include water wells, masjid construction, and Quran distribution.

Why This Matters

Clean water is a basic human right, yet 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. In rural communities across Pakistan, Bangladesh, Tanzania, and other African nations, families — especially women and children — walk hours daily to collect water from unsafe sources.

Building a water well is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah. A single well serves an entire community for 15-20 years, providing clean water for drinking, cooking, washing, and agriculture.

Well Options

  • £300 — Shallow hand-pump well (serves 100+ people)
  • £1,500 — Deep borehole well (serves 500+ people)
  • £3,000 — Solar-powered well system (serves 1,000+ people)

Every well includes a dedication plaque — you can name it after a loved one, living or deceased.
