Thank you for your continued support — may Allah accept it.
When communities lack access to clean water, every day becomes a struggle for survival. But here's something that might surprise you: for just £150, you can provide clean, safe water to 200-300 people daily for the next 10-20 years. That's not a typo — a single hand water pump donation creates a ripple effect of benefits that extends far beyond quenching thirst.
At HNCO (Hajjah Naziha Charitable Organisation), we've witnessed firsthand how a simple water pump transforms entire communities. When you donate a water pump, you're not just giving water; you're giving time back to families, health to children, and dignity to communities across Pakistan and Kenya.
According to recent WHO and UNICEF data, despite significant progress since 2015, one in four people globally — approximately 2.1 billion individuals — still lack access to safely managed drinking water. In the rural areas of Pakistan and Kenya where we work, families spend hours each day walking to contaminated water sources, risking waterborne diseases with every sip.
The water crisis isn't just about thirst. It's about a mother who walks three hours daily to collect murky water instead of earning income. It's about children missing school because they're tasked with water collection. It's about communities trapped in cycles of poverty because their most basic need remains unmet.
Waterborne diseases: Cholera, typhoid, and dysentery claim thousands of lives annually.
Educational barriers: Children, especially girls, miss school for water collection duties.
Economic stagnation: Hours spent fetching water instead of productive work.
Gender inequality: Women and girls bear the primary burden of water collection.
Health complications: Long-term exposure to contaminated water sources.
A hand water pump is a manually operated mechanism that draws clean groundwater from underground aquifers through a borehole. Unlike traditional open wells that expose water to contamination, hand pumps feature sealed systems that protect water quality from surface runoff, animal waste, and bacterial infiltration.
The hand water pumps we install are engineered for durability and longevity:
Corrosion resistance for years of daily use.
Withstand frequent daily pumping cycles.
Stability through thousands of pumping cycles.
Reaches clean groundwater below contamination.
Simple, locally-repairable components.
No electricity, no fuel, no power outages.
Local engineers survey the optimal location, water table depth, soil composition and population density to prevent overuse.
Specialised drilling equipment creates boreholes typically reaching 30-50 ft, accessing clean underground water far below contaminated surface layers.
Heavy-duty hand pump with stainless steel components, durable rising mains, concrete base and water-quality testing before community handover.
Local residents are trained on operation, basic maintenance, hygiene practices and simple repair procedures.
Installation photographs, video updates, before-and-after images, community testimonials and completion certificates.
Why not just dig a well? Hand water pumps offer distinct advantages that make them the preferred choice for sustainable water solutions in the communities we serve.
Just £150 to serve 200-300 people daily.
Repairs require basic tools and minimal expertise.
No electricity, no power bills, no fuel.
Residents own, operate and maintain their water source.
A quality hand water pump typically serves communities for 10-20 years, with some well-maintained pumps exceeding 25 years of service.
Stainless steel cylinders, cast iron components and quality seals form a corrosion-resistant package designed for 15+ years of service.
Mineral content, acidity and sand all influence wear. We assess each site to specify components that match local water conditions.
We carefully match pump capacity to community size — preventing premature failure from overuse.
For Muslim donors, donating a water pump carries profound spiritual significance as Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity that continues earning rewards long after your lifetime.
"The best form of charity is giving water." — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Every time someone uses your donated pump — for drinking, cooking, washing or watering crops — you earn spiritual rewards. Over 10-20 years, millions of these beneficial acts accumulate.
Communities with our water pumps experience a 50-70% reduction in waterborne disease incidence, lower infant mortality, improved maternal health and better nutrition.
Girls' school attendance increases 20-40%. Children have energy for learning instead of exhaustion from long water journeys.
Vegetable gardens flourish, livestock thrive, cottage industries emerge and women generate income with the time they reclaim.
While hand pumps remain incredibly effective, HNCO also offers solar-powered water pumps for larger communities at £1,800.
Choose your contribution. Every donation goes directly to pump installation in Pakistan or Kenya, with full photo and video documentation sent to you within weeks.
Before: Fatima, 14, walked 90 minutes twice daily to collect water from a contaminated stream. She missed morning school sessions.
After: The hand pump we installed 200 metres from her home now takes 5 minutes to reach. Fatima attends full school days, her test scores improved, and her family's medical expenses dropped by 60%.
Before: 73 households shared a seasonal river bed that dried completely for 4 months annually. Women walked 8 km during dry season.
After: The community now gathers at their new water point within 400 metres of the furthest household. School attendance rose 35%. Infant mortality dropped significantly within three years.
Your £150 can write the next chapter in a family's story — where children attend school instead of fetching water and communities thrive instead of merely surviving.
