Ways to Donate
Clean water is a basic right, yet around the world, 800,000 people die every year through illnesses caused by drinking unclean water.
At Muslim Hands, we construct water wells in poor and needy communities globally, ensuring they have access to clean and safe water. We take a holistic approach to our water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects by making sure people are educated on how to use water safely and maintain new wells for good health and hygiene practices.
Our worldwide teams conduct water testing and deal with the locals, to ensure the water projects are maintained and directly managed by the communities we are helping.
Clean water changes everything. It enables women to earn a livelihood, children to attend school, families to conduct farming and communities to lead a healthier life free from water-borne diseases.
Your donation of a water well will provide clean drinkable water to families in need for years to come, ensuring they have the means to lift themselves out of poverty. Gift water and help transform lives today!

You Gave Hope to Nafissa
Nafissa lives in a small village in Takarwet, Niger. Her village did not have access to a water source and as such, the villagers would walk for miles daily to collect water from a river that was highly contaminated as animals would also defecate in the same river.
“We are very thirsty. The animals’ defecation is causing serious stomach problems, but we have no other choice.”- Nafissa
Sadly, the villagers would have to walk a further distance when this river dried up in the rainy season, causing them great difficulty.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, Muslim Hands constructed a community well in Takarwet, giving Nafissa and the entire village access to clean drinkable water. The community well serves up to 1,000 people daily, ensuring families have an adequate supply of clean water for years to come.
Not only does the well provide clean and safe water for drinking, washing, cooking and keeping livestock hydrated but also ensures Nafissa does not have to walk for miles daily searching for water.
