Manually Dug Borehole
The wells described are manually dug wells using concrete rings or other materials to stabilize and secure the well walls. Here are additional details about this type of well:
Construction Process:
Manual digging: These wells are manually dug using tools such as shovels and pickaxes. They are typically constructed in relatively soft and less dense soils.
Concrete rings: The lining of the walls is generally done with concrete rings or other suitable materials. These rings, placed one on top of the other, form the permanent lining of the well.
Stacking the rings: The rings are gradually stacked as the well is dug. Each new ring is pushed into the ground, forming the well walls and allowing deeper excavation.
Post-construction:
- Water quality tests: Before use, the wells are cleaned, disinfected, and tested to assess water quality and ensure its potability.
- Approval and maintenance: Local approvals are obtained to validate the well. Maintenance procedures are established to ensure its durability and safety.
These wells, although less deep than other types of wells, provide an essential water source in regions where groundwater resources are accessible at limited depths. They require regular maintenance to ensure the water quality and availability for local communities.
Sadaqa Jariya: The Eternal Reward of Well Construction
In the profound wisdom of Islamic teachings, a well represents more than a simple water source, it is a living testament to compassion and spiritual investment. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ beautifully captured this concept in a transformative hadith:
“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end, except for three things: a continuous charity (Sadaqa Jariya), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.”
Building a well transcends momentary generosity. It is an act of sustained mercy that continues to nourish communities long after the donor’s passing. Each drop of water becomes a silent prayer, each life sustained a continuous blessing. This charitable act embodies the Islamic principle of ongoing compassion—where a single gesture of kindness ripples through generations, providing hope, health, and healing to those most in need.

Frequently asked questions
The lifespan of a well depends on the depth of the water and regular maintenance provided by the community. Proper use of equipment such as pumps is essential to extend its durability. Collective responsibility in maintenance ensures that the well remains a reliable source of water for the community.
Yes, it is possible to extend the viability of a well through regular maintenance work
The construction of a well varies depending on several factors, including local geology and the depth required. In general, our team strives to complete a well within 5 days to meet the community’s water needs.
Thanks to our experience and expertise, as well as the mobilization of resources, we are able to build wells efficiently.
The construction costs of a well vary depending on various factors such as depth, soil type, and geographical location.
Each financial contribution is exclusively dedicated to the construction of wells. We ensure complete transparency by providing regular updates and detailed photos at each stage of the well’s construction.
Yes! Each well can be personalized with the donors’ names, a personal message or an excerpt from the Quran or a hadith, to support the local population.
Yes, you have the option to inscribe multiple names on the commemorative plaque, while considering the limited space available on the plaque.
Well Solidarity carries out projects in various countries. We focus our efforts in regions where access to clean water is limited, particularly in Africa and Asia.
Wells in Nepal, India, and Pakistan can cost less due to geographical factors, local conditions, and soil characteristics. For example, in Asia, some regions have favorable geological and climatic conditions, making it easier to access groundwater through simpler construction methods, such as manually dug wells. In contrast, in Africa, the nature of the soil and the depth of the water table may require more expensive and complex drilling. These geographical differences partly explain the cost variations between regions.
To support the construction of a well, a donor can make a donation through Well Solidarity. Once the well is built, the company provides updates and photos to show the impact of the donation. Donors will be acknowledged and informed of the project’s progress as a sign of their contribution.
You can support Well Solidarity’s projects in various ways, including direct donations, social media, and other means of contact.
In Pakistan, the pipe-driving method is preferred due to geological conditions and the ease of access to the water table in certain regions, allowing for the construction of manually dug wells.
Well Solidarity is a company focusing on humanitarian projects, including the construction of wells in underprivileged regions to ensure access to clean water.
