Give Water, Give Life
For over 30 years, Muslim Hands has been delivering clean water solutions to communities in Mali, Pakistan, Niger, Yemen, and The Gambia.
We have built and restored thousands of water wells, providing families with reliable, long-term access to safe drinking water.
Our teams go beyond construction, training communities on well maintenance to ensure sustainability for generations to come.
With your support, we can continue building lasting wells—improving health, dignity, and opportunities for those in need.
Over 800 million people worldwide lack access to clean, safe drinking water—a basic human right that many take for granted.
In water-scarce regions, women and children walk miles daily just to collect water—time that could be spent in school, working, or caring for their families.
Your donation can make a lasting impact. Help provide sustainable access to clean water and break the cycle of hardship.

Safe Water Fund
You Gave Hope to Nafissa
In the small village of Takarwet, Niger, clean water was never guaranteed. For years, Nafissa and her neighbors walked miles every day to fetch water from a contaminated river, the same place where animals drank and defecated.
"We are always thirsty. The water makes us sick, but we have no other choice." – Nafissa.
When the river dried up, families had to walk even farther to find a source of water that wasn't safe to drink.
But thanks to your generosity, Muslim Hands USA built a community well in Takarwet, providing clean, safe drinking water to over 1,000 people.
This well is more than just a water source—it's health, safety, and a chance at a better life for Nafissa and her entire village.
Your support makes stories like Nafissa's possible. Give water, change lives.
