The impact

The bucket comes up full, even for the youngest

This well is built in Benin, close to people's homes, and serves about 250 people. Its crank winch raises the bucket effortlessly, even for children and the elderly: people drink, cook and perform their ablutions on site, with no electricity needed.

صدقةجارية

Ṣadaqa jāriya · the charity that continues

Sadaqah jariyah

A well, one of the finest forms of sadaqah jariyah

Sadaqah jariyah is the charity whose reward continues after death. A well is the perfect example: as long as its water is used, the reward continues, God willing.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

إِذَا مَاتَ الْإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ: إِلَّا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ

“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: a continuing charity (sadaqah jariyah), knowledge that benefits others, or a righteous child who prays for them.”

Narrated by Muslim, no. 1631

Sa'd ibn 'Ubada asked the Prophet (peace be upon him):

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أُمَّ سَعْدٍ مَاتَتْ، فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «الْمَاءُ». فَحَفَرَ بِئْرًا وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ لِأُمِّ سَعْدٍ

“O Messenger of Allah, the mother of Sa'd has died: which charity is best?” He replied: “Water.” So Sa'd dug a well and said: “This is for the mother of Sa'd.”

Narrated by Abu Dawud, no. 1681

Read our full guide to sadaqah jariyah

Like Sa'd for his mother, you can give this well in the name of a loved one, living or departed: their name is on the sign.
