Water Programme

663 million people still use unimproved drinking water sources.

It’s easy to forget how vital water is to our lives. It’s also easy to forget that in some parts of the world, having access to tap water is a luxury. Al-Khair Foundation provides clean, running water to disadvantaged communities worldwide. We look for the most effective way to source water in any given location, and then we work to get the water to those in need. Whether this means building boreholes and installing hand-pumps, or even setting up water filtration plants that work on solar energy, we strive to provide the gift of water to the communities who need it the most. Many of our Water Aid programmes also involve awareness-raising sessions to educate a community about safe water and hygiene. Whether you want to buy a village a well, or invest in a deep borehole, by supporting our Water Aid projects, every donation will ensure more people have access to clean water.

Semi-Deep Tube Well

In one village in Bangladesh, at least 75 out of total 200 households would have to travel far in order to access clean and safe water from others. AKF’s semi-deep tube wells are ideal for this location in tapping into a shallow water sources from underground layers of permeable rock, such as sandstone and limestone.

Bottled Water Distributions

During emergencies, the quickest way to ensure survivors are hydrated is through bottled water distribution. It’s often our first course of action. Yet sometimes, bottled water distribution is also a last resort: when we are trying to reach communities in areas where our water tanker trucks cannot..
  • 100 Water bottles for distribution: £100 (Available in South Asia, Gaza, Kenya, Somaliland)
