Today, one in four people worldwide still lack safely managed drinking water. Accessing drinkable water is one the biggest survival challenge for the millions of people. According to UNICEF, women and girls have to spend 200 million hours daily to fetch the water, while contaminated sources results to a child dying every two minutes from water-related illnesses.
Al Mustafa Global family has been working since 1983 to deliver water projects worldwide. We are building a bridge of hope from our headquarter in Virginia, USA, to the most remote villages of Africa, Asia and Middle east. Over 42 years, we have reached more than 18 million people by installing 15,600 small water wells and 461 community wells. We do not just dig holes; we build hopes.
Partner with us to provide clean water and build sustainable society. Our Water for Life mission relies on the belief that every drop of clean water is a testament to the mercy of the Creator.
Small donations from $300 could help provide clean water to a community in need
When you help build a well, you revitalize a whole community, a child drinks without fear of illness, a mother cooks safely, and the elderly perform Wudu with dignity. Water is the origin of life. Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Holy Quran:
“And We made from water every living thing.” (Quran 21:30).
With your help, we could build a well to provide water for years to come. A single water well has the power to break the cycle of poverty, bringing hope and opportunity to countless lives.
Al Mustafa USA, understands that every region has a unique geography and requirement. A generic approach does not work that is why we have developed various sustainable water solutions projects to overcome the issue. Here is how your water project can take shape:

We build Water Purification Plants in communities facing severe water shortages. These plants use a system of reverse osmosis, and advanced technology. We use advanced technology and new systems to purify and clean existing water, removing it of harmful substances, dirt and bacteria. After a process of purification, we transform water that is unfit for human consumption into clean water that is safe for drinking. Water is stored in a water tank and can be accessed at any time by the community. The system and the clean water tank are verified in accordance with World Health Organisation standards. Our water purification plant provides 1,000 litres fresh and clean water every hour.

Yes, most of our Water for Life projects are Zakat-eligible. Providing safe drinking water to the poor falls under helping the needy.
Absolutely. Many interested donors choose a water project as Sadaqah Jariyah. We can arrange for a plaque to be placed at the site.
The cost varies by region and project type. A hand pump costs $300 one-time (or $25/month), an electric well $400 one-time (or $35/month), and a deep solar/community well $600 one-time. These tiers suit any budget, ensuring lasting clean water access.

The timeline depends on the project complexity. A simple pump takes weeks, while large construction forms can take months. We strive to complete every project efficiently.
