Water is the essence of life, yet nearly 696 million people around the world still live without access to clean and safe drinking water. For many of us, water flows from a tap, but for families facing the global water crisis, every drop is a daily struggle for survival, health, and dignity. Without safe water, communities are forced to rely on contaminated rivers and unsafe sources, leading to deadly waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid.
Women and children often walk miles each day just to collect water, losing precious time that could be spent on education, work, and building a better future. The lack of clean water keeps vulnerable families trapped in poverty, making access to safe drinking water not just a basic need, but a life saving necessity.
At Al Mustafa Canada, we are committed to tackling the global water crisis by delivering safe drinking water to communities living in poverty across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Our Water for Life projects focus on long term, sustainable solutions that uplift vulnerable communities and provide reliable access to clean water for years to come.
We work closely with local partners to install water wells, hand pumps, solar powered community wells, and water purification plants in some of the world’s poorest regions. Every water project donation is carefully designed to be safe, community focused, and built for lasting impact, so families never have to worry about access to clean and safe water again.
Small donations from $350 could help provide clean water to a community in need
Water is one of the most loved forms of charity in Islam. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught us that giving water is the best charity, and the Qur’an reminds us that “We made from water every living thing” (Qur’an 21:30).
When you provide clean water to communities, you are giving life, hope and ongoing reward. It is a beautiful act of Sadaqah Jariyah, as every donation helps to provide water for generations to come. As the water continues to flow, so will your rewards.
A single, well-constructed water well is one of the most sustainable gifts you can give. By building a well, you do not just quench thirst in the short term, but you provide water for life, and every donation helps to empower those in need, and promote dignity. By providing access to safe water, you save lives. By giving people access to safe water near their homes, women and children no longer need to walk for miles each day. Your help save so much time, and enable more children to thrive at school. By providing access to safe water, you keep people safe from waterborne diseases, helping their health and sanitation to improve. Over time and across generations, water for life helps people build sustainable livelihoods, explore education, enjoy good health and stay safe. Your single donation helps to change lives and bring hope.

We build Water Purification Plants in communities facing severe water shortages. These plants use a system of reverse osmosis, and advanced technology. We use advanced technology and new systems to purify and clean existing water, removing it of harmful substances, dirt and bacteria. After a process of purification, we transform water that is unfit for human consumption into clean water that is safe for drinking. Water is stored in a water tank and can be accessed at any time by the community. The system and the clean water tank are verified in accordance with World Health Organisation standards. Our water purification plant provides 1,000 litres fresh and clean water every hour.
