Water Hand Pumps
Bringing Clean Water to Communities in Need

In many parts of rural India, communities rely on open water sources that are unsealed and exposed, leading to contaminated water and the spread of harmful diseases.

Water hand pumps are an ideal solution for providing clean, safe drinking water to these communities. Simple, effective, and sustainable, hand pumps play a crucial role in ensuring that families in rural India have access to the water they need for daily life.

Why Hand Pumps Are a Perfect Solution for India

Effective & Affordable:

Suction hand pumps, made from cast iron, are affordable, easy to install, and require minimal maintenance. They are a cost-effective solution for families in need of clean water.

Local Maintenance:

These pumps can be easily maintained by the local community without the need for specialist parts, making them a sustainable and long-term water solution.

Deep-Well Capability:

Hand pumps can reach depths of up to 180 feet, making them suitable for accessing water from deeper sources where surface water may not be available.

‘He who digs a water source, then for every living creature that drinks from it – be it jinn, man or a bird – Allah Most high will reward him on the day of Resurrection.’
[Ibn Hibban]

– A feedback report, in the form of a document, is provided for the construction of every hand pump.

– Plaque names of up to 30 characters are allowed on the pump, however ayahs from the Qur’an, Allah’s Names/Attributes or Hadiths are not allowed. The charity does not want these holy words to be desecrated.
– If no name for a water well is given in the ‘notes’ of the donation, Ummah Welfare Trust will keep the plaque ‘anonymous.’
