Our experienced teams implement each project on the ground and train local communities to maintain every well, ensuring long-term reliability and accountability.
With your support, we continue expanding life-saving water aid that protects health, restores dignity, and creates opportunity.

The Ongoing Rewards of Giving Water
Providing clean water is Sadaqah Jariyah—a charity that keeps giving long after it’s built. Access to safe water can:
Reduce waterborne diseases and save lives
Keep children in school instead of walking miles for water
Support rural communities, giving them a path to self-sufficiency
Help families grow crops, providing food and income
Improve hygiene and prevent disease through safe washing
Allow people to perform wudhu, ensuring they can pray with ease
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.
