Islamic Welfare Trust has been building water pumps in some of the most deprived regions of Pakistan.

By building water pumps we are trying our best to provide sustainable access to clean water for families in need.

One of the best ways to eradicate these deadly diseases is to help poor communities improve their water and sanitation infrastructure. The first step towards this is to provide every household access to clean water within the boundary of their house. Right now, there is no better solution than to build water pumps in every household. Help build a water pump in Pakistan and help improve lives one family at a time.
Providing clean water for drinking, ghusl, wudu or purification is considered a virtuous and charitable act. Islam is all about compassion, charity, and the well-being of all individuals, especially the ones who are in need of it the most. Islam promotes fairness in society and puts extra duty on the privileged to fulfil the basic needs of the less fortunate like providing them with access to clean drinking water.
“When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: a continuing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge and a child who prays for them.
[Muslim]
As building a water pump is an act of Sadaqah Jariyah, it is highly recommended to build a water pump in someone’s name like your parents, grandparents or any loved one alive or deceased. This is one way of showing your love for them.
“…whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind”
(5:32)
Many people in Pakistan lose their lives simply because they drank contaminated water and fell seriously ill, eventually succumbing to their illnesses. In some cases, the deceased individual was the sole breadwinner, leaving behind orphaned children and widowed wives to fend for themselves. Let’s support these families by providing them with a source of clean water. The provision of clean water is a way to address this concern, as access to clean water is a fundamental human right.
In a world where clean water should be accessible to all, millions in Pakistan still face the harsh reality of water scarcity. Poverty compounds this issue, but together, we can break this cycle. Join Islamic Welfare Trust in our mission to build water pumps in Pakistan, bringing clean drinking water to needy families, and transforming lives for the better.
