Water for Life

33% of the world’s population does not have access to clean and safe drinking water.

Water is the essence of life, yet nearly 696 million people around the world still live without access to clean and safe drinking water. For many of us, water flows from a tap, but for families facing the global water crisis, every drop is a daily struggle for survival, health, and dignity. Without safe water, communities are forced to rely on contaminated rivers and unsafe sources, leading to deadly waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid.

Women and children often walk miles each day just to collect water, losing precious time that could be spent on education, work, and building a better future. The lack of clean water keeps vulnerable families trapped in poverty, making access to safe drinking water not just a basic need, but a life saving necessity.

At Al Mustafa Canada, we are committed to tackling the global water crisis by delivering safe drinking water to communities living in poverty across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Our Water for Life projects focus on long term, sustainable solutions that uplift vulnerable communities and provide reliable access to clean water for years to come.

We work closely with local partners to install water wells, hand pumps, solar powered community wells, and water purification plants in some of the world’s poorest regions. Every water project donation is carefully designed to be safe, community focused, and built for lasting impact, so families never have to worry about access to clean and safe water again.

Donate to Water for Life

Give the gift of clean water and change a family’s life forever.

The importance of giving water in Islam

Water is one of the most loved forms of charity in Islam. Prophet Muhammad (△) taught us that giving water is the best charity, and the Qur’an reminds us that “We made from water every living thing” (Qur’an 21:30).

When you provide clean water to communities, you are giving life, hope and ongoing reward. It is a beautiful act of Sadaqah Jariyah, as every donation helps to provide water for generations to come. As the water continues to flow, so will your rewards.

Sustainable water donation programs

A single, well-constructed water well is one of the most sustainable gifts you can give. By building a well, you do not just quench thirst in the short term, but you provide water for life, and every donation helps to empower those in need, and promote dignity. By providing access to safe water, you save lives. By giving people access to safe water near their homes, women and children no longer need to walk for miles each day. Your help saves so much time, and enables more children to thrive at school. By providing access to safe water, you keep people safe from waterborne diseases, helping their health and sanitation to improve. Over time and across generations, water for life helps people build sustainable livelihoods, explore education, enjoy good health and stay safe. Your single donation helps to change lives and bring hope.

Our Process

Due to the urgent need for water in many areas, Al Mustafa Canada swiftly deploys its teams to install water wells as quickly and efficiently as possible.

  1. Area Identification: we conduct a needs assessment to identify the particular area your well will be built, based on the severity of the water crisis.
  2. Allocation of most appropriate water solution: Based on our needs assessment, we will decide which water solution is most appropriate.
  3. Construction works: We arrange the construction of the water solution working with skilled professionals and using the highest quality materials and equipment available.
  4. Safety Checks: We conduct safety checks and ensure the well is in the best condition possible before handing it over to the people themselves.
  5. Feedback to the Donor: We ensure donors receive a report of their well, alongside photos of the finished initiative and the people they are supporting.

Water Wells FAQs

We send all donors a detailed report with pictures, upon completion of the construction of their water well. We will do this in the mail and also by sending an email to your inbox.

A large number of our water projects are Zakat eligible. With our 100% Zakat donation policy, every dollar of your donation reaches those in need directly, without any extra expenses or costs being deducted.
