Build a water well or plant a tree in their name
Sadaqah jariyah from $257, built in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Madagascar, with photos and video as proof.
Build a water well from $257 💧
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “There is no one who digs a well from which a living being drinks. Whether a jinn, a human, or a bird except that Allah will reward him on the Day of Resurrection.”
You can save lives and improve the health of vulnerable populations by funding the construction of wells in rural areas. Your well will be built in a location easily accessible to all villagers. Wells can be constructed in various developing countries, taking into account the specific conditions of each region.
Plant a fruit tree from $37 🌳
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Whenever a Muslim plants a tree, he is credited with a charity for whatever is eaten from it. Even what is stolen from it or what is lost is counted for him as charity.”
You can feed entire families and strengthen the resilience of rural communities by funding the planting of fruit trees. Each tree will be planted in a shared area easily accessible to all villagers. These solidarity orchards can be created in several developing countries, taking into account the climatic and agronomic conditions specific to each region.
A Personalised 🏅 Plaque
Each well and each tree is personalised with the first and last name of the customer, along with a message of their choice. This can be a verse from the Qur’an, a hadith, or simply a personal message to support the local community.

The mission of Well & Trees
Supporting the Most Vulnerable
Access to water is a heavy physical burden carried by women, children, and the elderly, taking up time and energy that should go to school, work and family.
Free Access to Water
Because we often take water for granted, it is easy to forget the tremendous effort some people must make to obtain this vital resource.
Supporting Agriculture
Reliable water is essential for farming. Developing countries are the most affected by water shortages, flooding, and poor water quality. In these countries, nearly 80% of diseases are linked to inadequate water and sanitation services.

We find our reward in the happiness we see on the faces of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Lifespan of a Well?
The lifespan of a well depends on water depth and regular maintenance carried out by the community. Proper use of equipment such as pumps is essential to extend its durability. Collective responsibility for maintenance ensures that the well remains a reliable source of water for the community.
Can the viability of a well be extended through maintenance work?
Yes, it is possible to extend a well’s viability through regular maintenance.
How long does it take to build a well?
Well construction varies depending on several factors, including local geology and required depth. Generally, our team aims to complete a well within about 3 months to meet the community’s water needs.
Why is well construction fast?
Thanks to our experience, expertise, and resource mobilisation, we are able to build wells efficiently.
What is the cost of a well?
A hand-pump water well in Pakistan costs $257 all included; a classic well in Madagascar $1,155; a well with taps and seating $1,320; a community well from $1,597. A fruit tree costs $37. The price covers the work, the plaque, the GPS coordinates, the photos and the video, our customer service and our margin. See all our wells.
What guarantees that the funding will actually be used to build a well?
Each financial contribution is dedicated exclusively to well construction. We ensure full transparency by providing regular updates and detailed photos at every stage of the project.
Can I include a person’s name on the plaque?
Yes, each well is personalised with the names of customers, along with a personal message or a verse from the Qur’an or a hadith to support the local population.
Is Well & Trees a charity or a company?
Well & Trees is a company, not a charity. You buy a well or a tree at a fixed price, we build it with our local partners, and you receive the proof: plaque, GPS coordinates, photos and video.
What is the link between Well Solidarity and Well & Trees?
Well & Trees was created by Well Solidarity, a French company, for the English-speaking market. Both brands belong to the same company and share the same teams, the same partners on the ground and the same projects.
Is a water well sadaqah jariyah?
Yes. A well keeps giving water after you have paid for it, which is what sadaqah jariyah means (Sahih Muslim 1631). The Companion Sa’d ibn Ubadah dug a well for his late mother on the Prophet’s advice (Abu Dawud 1681). See our water wells from $257.
Here is how the price of a well breaks down:
- The largest share of expenses goes to materials from local suppliers, bank fees and the international transfers needed to send funds safely.
- A share pays for our advertising on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Google, which finds the next customer and the next well.
- Plus the wages of the local workers who build the wells on site.
- Our team, who coordinate the projects, follow them up and answer your emails.
- A share is set aside for development, field trips (flights, accommodation, logistics) and Well & Trees’ margin for the work done.
Why a water well is the best sadaqah jariyah
Sadaqah jariyah is the charity that keeps giving after you have given it. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said that when a person dies, their deeds end except three: an ongoing charity, knowledge that benefits others, and a righteous child who prays for them (Sahih Muslim 1631). Water is the example the Companions were given: when Sa’d ibn Ubadah asked which charity was best for his late mother, the answer was water, and he dug a well in her name (Abu Dawud 1681).
That is what Well & Trees builds. A hand-pump water well in Pakistan costs $257 and serves up to 50 people every day. A classic well in Madagascar serves a village of 500 for $1,155. See all four types of water well side by side, or start smaller with a fruit tree for $37, planted for a family in Madagascar.
Many customers build a well in the name of a parent who has passed away, or give one for Eid, an umrah or a wedding. The plaque carries the name you choose; the GPS coordinates, the photos and the video prove the well exists. Our gallery shows hundreds of them.
We are a company, not a charity: a fixed price, a dated delivery, a customer service that answers, and a margin we state openly. If you are checking us out, read Is Well & Trees legit? and why water is the best sadaqah jariyah.
