When you donate water in the UK, you are funding the physical infrastructure that brings clean water to a community that currently has none. HNCO — a UK non-profit organisation based in Nelson — takes your donation and builds a real pump in a real village in rural Pakistan, typically within three weeks. The full process is included in your donation: site survey, borehole drilling, pump installation, independent water quality testing, and community training so the pump keeps running for years. Nothing is withheld for administration — the complete project is what you fund. HNCO has operated its Pakistan water programme since 2010, initiated by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. The communities served are in Sindh and Punjab, where groundwater exists but villages have no means to reach it safely — relying instead on contaminated open sources that cause preventable disease. ## How Much Does It Cost to Donate Water Through HNCO? - **Contribution £25+ ** — pooled toward the next pump. Best for first-time givers or topping up a group donation. - **Hand pump well £150 ** — serves ~25 people / 4–5 families for 10–15 years. Best for individual donors, memorials, Ramadan, Muharram. - **Solar pump well £1,800 ** — serves ~100 people for 15–20 years. Best for families pooling, mosque collections, workplace giving. Both options are complete borehole installations — not just pumps. The difference is the mechanism: a hand pump is manually operated and repairable with basic tools in-village; a solar pump is higher-capacity and powered by a solar panel with no fuel cost. [Compare hand pump vs solar pump →](/water/hand-pump-vs-solar-water-pump) ## Where Does a Water Donation Go? HNCO installs in rural **Pakistan ** — primarily Sindh and Punjab, where seasonal drought and contaminated groundwater affect millions. Every donation is matched to a specific village. The field team surveys the site, identifies the water table depth, drills the borehole, installs the pump, tests water quality independently, and trains community members on maintenance. After completion you receive full documentation: 20–30 high-resolution build photos, 2–4 progress videos, an independent water-quality test certificate, a location report with village name and district, and a completion certificate. [See what the completion pack contains →](/water/water-pump-completion-reports) You can also watch completed builds on HNCO's progress videos page. [Watch wells being built →](/water/progress-videos-watch-well-built) ## Why Is Donating Water the Best Sadaqah Jariyah? Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity — is charity whose reward continues after your death. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked what the best Sadaqah Jariyah is. He identified three: ongoing knowledge, a righteous child who prays for you, and _ongoing charity _. In a separate hadith, he named water specifically: _"The best form of charity is giving water to drink." _ (Ahmad) A hand pump installed today will still be serving families in 2036. A solar pump will still be running in 2046. Every drink taken, every meal cooked, every crop watered — each act is recorded as ongoing Sadaqah Jariyah for the donor for the pump's entire lifespan. [Understanding Sadaqah Jariyah through water →](/water/water-pump-sadaqah-jariyah) ## Can I Use Zakat to Donate Water? Yes. Zakat must reach one of the eight categories defined in Surah At-Tawbah (9:60) — primarily the poor and needy ( _al-fuqara _ and _al-masakin _). The rural Pakistani villages HNCO serves consistently meet this standard. HNCO verifies Zakat eligibility before allocating Zakat funds to any project. Use the [HNCO Zakat calculator](/zakat/calculator) to calculate what you owe, then designate part toward a water pump. [Full guide: Zakat and water pump donations →](/water/water-pump-zakat) ## Can I Donate Water in Memory of Someone? Yes. HNCO inscribes a personalised dedication on the pump's stainless-steel plaque — a name, family inscription, or memorial message. The pump then provides Sadaqah Jariyah on behalf of the person named for as long as it serves the community. You receive a photo of the installed plaque in your completion pack. [Donate water in someone's name →](/water/donate-water-pump-in-someones-name) or see our full guide on [donating in memory of a parent →](/water/water-donation-memory-parent-uk) ## Can a Group Donate Water Together? Yes — pooling is straightforward. Three siblings each giving £50 funds one complete hand pump. A mosque congregation pooling Friday collections over two or three weeks funds a solar pump. A workplace team of 12 each giving £150 funds a solar pump serving 100 people for 20 years. One pump, one plaque, one community served — shared reward for every contributor.
