A water well is the most direct way to give clean water for years, and one of the best forms of sadaqah jariyah. Choose the well that fits your budget: a hand-pump well in Pakistan for £195, a bucket well in Madagascar for £875, a well with taps and seating for £1,000, or a community well for a whole village. Every well is built in about 3 months by our local teams, with a plaque in the name you choose, GPS coordinates, photos and a video of the finished well. Well & Trees is a company, not a charity: you order, we build, we prove it.

For someone who has passed away: a well in their name keeps giving water, and reward, long after the funeral. See sadaqah jariyah for the deceased.
As a gift: for Eid, an umrah, a wedding or a birth, the plaque carries the name you choose and the certificate can be sent to the person. See trees from £28 if you want a smaller gift.

The lifespan of a well depends on the depth of the water table and on the regular maintenance carried out by the community. Proper use of the equipment, such as the pumps, is essential to extend its durability. Shared responsibility for upkeep ensures the well remains a reliable source of water for the community.
Yes, the life of a well can be extended through regular maintenance work.
Thanks to our experience and expertise, and to the resources we mobilise, we are able to build wells efficiently.
At Well & Trees, a hand-pump water well in Pakistan costs £195 all included. A classic well in Madagascar costs £875, a well with taps and seating £1,000, and a community well for a whole village from £1,210. The price covers the drilling, the pump or bucket system, the plaque, the GPS coordinates, the photos and the video, our customer service and our margin. There is nothing to add afterwards.
Each contribution corresponds to one project. We ensure full transparency by providing detailed photos or videos of each stage of the construction (delivered at the end of the project).
Yes, each well is personalised with the first and last names of the customers, as well as a personal message or an excerpt from the Qur’an or a hadith, in support of the local population.
Yes, you can have several names written on the commemorative plaque, within the limited space available on the plaque.
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.
Yes, a water well is the example scholars give most often. The Prophet, peace be upon him, listed the three deeds that continue after death, among them an ongoing charity (Sahih Muslim 1631), and when Sa’d ibn Ubadah asked which charity was best for his late mother, he answered: water, and Sa’d dug a well in her name (Abu Dawud 1681, an-Nasa’i 3664). A well keeps giving water for years, so the reward keeps flowing.
Yes. Many customers order a well with brothers, sisters or friends and put several names on the plaque, or order one well per person. Write the names in the order form; if you need more space than the plaque allows, contact us before ordering.
A water well is a sadaqah jariyah because it keeps giving after the day you pay for it: every bucket drawn, every child who drinks, for years. The Prophet, peace be upon him, told Sa’d ibn Ubadah that water was the best charity for his late mother, and Sa’d dug a well in her name (Abu Dawud 1681, an-Nasa’i 3664).
Choose the well that fits you: the simple hand-pump well in Pakistan for £195, the classic bucket well in Madagascar for £875, the well with taps and seating for £1,000, or the community well for a whole village. Each one carries a plaque with the name you choose, and you receive the GPS coordinates, the photos and the video.
Building it for someone who has passed away? Write their name on the order form. Want to add a smaller ongoing deed? Plant a fruit tree for £28. And if you wonder whether a well bought from a company still counts, read why water is the best sadaqah jariyah.
