Build a Well

We still live in a world where a child dies every two minutes because they don’t have access to clean, safe water. For many of us, we couldn’t imagine a life without water pouring out of a tap, but for millions of people, this still remains a dream.

Through the Ali Asghar Water Appeal, named after Hazrat Ali Asghar (a), you can build water wells in impoverished areas and obtain continuous blessings.

You can provide life-saving access to safe water by building a well in water-scarce communities in Pakistan, India, Tanzania and Kenya.

When you build a well, you can donate it in your name or in the name of a loved one, and benefit from ongoing reward (Sadaqah Jaaryiah). After you have made your donation, fill out this form with the details you would like on the plaque.

With your help, WF-AID wants to reduce the number of unnecessary deaths caused by poor sanitation and unsafe water. Our ground teams have identified communities in Pakistan, India, Kenya, and Tanzania, where community tube wells can improve access to clean, safe water and give families a lift out of poverty.

After the well has been constructed, you will receive a feedback report detailing where the well has been built and a community update. It will also contain pictures of it during its construction and in use by the community.

As these reports are sent to us in bulk by our teams on the ground, it can up to 6 months to receive your report.

A preview can be seen below.

Clean water doesn’t just quench thirst, it helps communities with sanitation, cleaning, cooking and gives them the means to grow their own food.

Mothers will be able to enjoy a life free from the constant fear of their children contracting deadly water-borne diseases. Additionally they will no longer have to spend hours searching for water, children will have the time to go to school and people from the community will be able to grow their own food – to eat and sell to help provide an income.
