The Water Crisis

1 in 9 people do not have access to clean drinkable water

Children lose 443 million school days every year due to water-borne diseases

Dirty water kills 3.5 million people a year

Clean Water

Water is essential, water is life. Many people still do not have access to clean water in remote and poor communities in Bangladesh. The women, children and the elderly suffer the most from the water crisis. 

Giving water is one of the best forms of service to the needy that one can provide. This is Sadaqah Jariya, providing a lifeline that keeps on giving water to needy communities. 

BASMAH has built hundreds of clean water wells that are providing free clean water to poor and needy people  

In the remote communities in Bangladesh. The cost of water wells varies depending on the condition of the location. In normal districts in Bangladesh,

the cost is $250, in cyclone-affected/coastal districts it is $500 and in the Rohingya refugee camp, it is $ 2500 due to the hilly region.

You can donate to a well; your Sadaqah can ensure a long-lasting reward. Please donate water wells on behalf of your parents and loved ones.

The Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:
“The best charity is giving water to drink.” (Sunan al-Nasaee)

How it works

Once you donate, your water well is designated to the relevant partner offices

The well is either assigned to the country of your choice, or if you’ve selected ‘where most needed’, the location is determined by our experts in the field.

Our teams build your water well in the community with greatest need

After establishing relationships with communities and carrying out needs assessments, our officers on the ground determine exactly where to build the wells

You receive a feedback report to show the impact of your donation

Once your well is constructed, expect to receive a comprehensive report with images and more information about the community you have helped

How can I donate towards a well?

You can learn more and support our Thirst Relief projects through this link.

How long does it take to build a well?


Deep Wells take between 10-12 months from the moment the donation is made to the time you receive a completed well report.
For Hand Pumps this timeline is 6-9 Months.

Will I be updated on the status of the well?


We try our best to provide status updates. However, we rely on local partners to deliver on the orders and timelines and updates are not always readily available until completion. However, if there are going to be delays, we try our best to notify donors of this.

How much does it cost to fund a Deep Well?


It depends on the location. , $2,900 in Bangladesh,
