On the authority of Sa‘d ibn 'Ubadah (ra) who said, 'I asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is best?” He [saw] replied, “Providing water”'. (Ibn Majah)
The gift of water saves lives, which is a hugely rewardable action. Allah says in the Qur'an, ‘And whoever saves one [a life] - it is as if he had saved all of mankind'. (Qur'an, 5:32) Imagine this - every single time the clean water you sponsor saves someone's life, it is as if you have saved all of mankind!
We use water for everything, from washing dishes to cooking food to growing crops. Allah says in the Qur'an, ‘By means of water, we give life to everything'. (Qur'an, 21:30). Communities who don't have access to clean water face unimaginable hardships, with women and children walking for hours to collect even a little water, and families unable to support themselves due to lack of education and livelihood. Having access to safe water is a basic human right and fulfilling this right is an excellent Sadaqah.
Below is a video of our team showing the completion of the first bore hole project in Kenya, Msabweni, Kwale County in October 2019.
The 2nd bore hole will be located at Mkwambani, Kinondo sub-location, Kwale County. It will be near the Noorul Adhwim Orphanage Home-Tiwi and Masjid Muhaidina mkunguni villege, Tiwi location, Kwale County.
Water ultimately is life, it has many greats uses and benefits. Clean water becomes useful and its not just safe to drink but can also be used to grow crops, provide clean water for farm animals and provide better living conditions for the village.
It starts with a basic necessity and insyallah it can grow to more uses.

Project Life Kenya: Community Well & Solar Powered Pump (2nd Project)
For this particular project, we will be commissioning contractors to build the following;
- A Community Well ( Dug minimally 30-50 meters deep )
- Installed with proper Pipes & Water Filters
- Solar Powered Pump
Why solar powered pump?
This location does not have access to electricity however it is always sunny during the day. With Solar technology, it will help to generate enough electricity to power a generator which in turns help to pump the water out.
How is this different with our Well projects in Cambodia?
Unlike in Cambodia, each well is built specifically for one household. In this case the Community Well is big enough to be shared with a whole village - 300 families.
Total cost of this project: SGD 16,000
If you wish to contribute to this project, you may wakf as follows
i) $100 for 1 name
ii) $500 for 5 names
iii) $1,000 for 10 names
We will close this project once the full amount have been received.
