Solar Water Well

Transforming Lives with Solar-Powered Water & Electricity

Our Solar Panel Water and Power Centres are expertly designed to bring life-changing water and electricity to entire communities, restoring their hopes and paving way for a prosperous future. Each centre provides fresh, clean water every day to up to 2,500 people and their livestock, wiping out the threat of waterborne diseases caused by contaminated water, saving not just their lives but also of their livestock that generates income to provide for their loved ones.

The blessed Qur’an tells us, “Whoever saves one [life] – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” (5:32)  

Subhan Allah, when you support these communities with such beautiful forms of donations, you do not only receive the rewards of saving humanity but also become the means for an entire community to progress. Our highly efficient Solar Powered Water Centres also deliver sustainable electricity to schools, mosques, and community buildings, powering a brighter future for everyone.

Thirst Relief in Afghanistan: A Real-Life Impact

Allah Dad, 65, leads a family of 12 in Baghlan, Afghanistan. For years, fetching water was a daily battle - the nearest water source was far, and the journey drained his family's energy. The children struggled to balance school and chores, while clean water remained out of reach. 

Thanks to the Thirst Relief project, funded by Penny Appeal, a solar-powered water entre was installed in their village. Now clean water is just steps away for drinking, washing, and daily rituals. 

"This water centre is a blessing for my family. We don't worry about water anymore", Allah Dad shares. "It's about more than water as it has also helped us save time and energy, improving our whole life."

This centre stands as a shining example of how solar power can bring dignity, health, and hope to entire communities. 

How It Works

How It Works

Water

In desert areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan and beyond, water lies hundreds of metres underground - far beyond the reach of traditional pumps or buckets. Our solar-powered system harnesses sunlight to lift this water into a reservoir, where it’s safely stored. Clean water is then piped directly to homes, with fair allocations based on household size. Farmers can also access the water for their crops and animals, supporting livelihoods.

Power

The solar panels don’t just pump water; they generate electricity for schools, mosques, and community centres. This power lights classrooms, charges torches, and keeps radios on which are essential tools for learning, safety, and communication. Together, water and power provide whole villages the essentials they need to live healthy, productive lives and the tools to build a brighter future.

This is the impact of your generosity. Together, we have provided food, water and vital support to those who need it most. Every donation, whether Sadaqah or Zakat, helps alleviate suffering and restore hope to communities facing unimaginable hardship.

We always aim to use your donation as intended. If that’s not possible, it will go to similar life-changing projects in the same country or a similar region. When you give to ‘where most needed’, your donation supports the world’s most vulnerable communities, based on expert guidance and our local partner insights. However you give, you can rest assured your donation is in the best hands!

What exactly is a Solar Panel Water & Power Centre?

A Solar Panel Water & Power Centre is a specially designed facility that uses the sun’s energy to pump clean water from deep underground and store it in safe reservoirs. It then distributes this water to homes, schools, and farms. The same solar panels also generate sustainable electricity for community buildings like mosques, schools, and health centres. It’s a Sadaqah Jariyah project- a continuous charity-that will benefit entire communities for years to come, Insha’Allah.  

How many people can one centre help?

Each centre provides fresh, clean water every day to up to 2,500 people and their livestock. By preventing deadly waterborne diseases and supporting farming, you are not only saving lives but also giving families the means to sustain themselves. As the Qur’an reminds us: “Whoever saves one [life] – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” (5:32)  

Where are these centres built?

They are installed in water-scarce regions such as rural Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other vulnerable areas where communities struggle daily to find safe water and reliable electricity. Supporting them is a way of fulfilling Ḥuqūq al-‘Ibād (the rights of people), a beautiful act that Allah (ىَالَعَتَوُهَانَحْبُس) loves.  

How does my donation make a difference?

Your donation funds the construction and installation of a life-changing centre, bringing clean water and electricity to those in desperate need. The Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Whoever alleviates the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will alleviate his hardship on the Day of Judgment.” (Muslim)  Every drop of water and every light switched on becomes part of your ongoing reward.  

What if my chosen project can’t be fulfilled?

We always honour your donation preferences. If a specific location or project can’t be delivered, your donation will be used for similar urgent needs in another community. In every case, your Sadaqah Jariyah will continue to benefit those most in need, multiplying your reward in this life and the Hereafter, Insha’Allah.

Your Gift in Action:

We always strive to honour your donation preferences. If your chosen project cannot be fulfilled, your donation will support similar urgent needs locally or globally. Our experienced teams on the ground ensure your generosity makes the greatest possible impact.

Turn sunlight into hope - giving families the essentials they need to live, learn and grow.
