Some of Our Wells with Seating 💧

💧 The vast majority of the wells you see here were built by Well Solidarity, the French company behind Well & Trees. Same company, same teams on the ground, same construction standards: Well & Trees simply brings this work to English-speaking countries.

Features of the Well with Seating 💧

Well with seating - hand-pump water well built by Well & Trees in Pakistan

🪑 Collective seating: The well is designed with 12 to 16 seats, allowing beneficiaries to wait or use water comfortably.

🚰 Tap distribution: Five taps are fitted, enabling multiple families to access water simultaneously and reducing wait times.

⚡ Pumping system: Depending on the local setup, the well can be equipped with a robust manual pump or an electric pump powered by solar energy or the grid.

📏 Capacity and depth: Drilled to access local water tables, designed to provide consistent water to a large community of up to 700 people.

⏱️ Construction timeline: Complete installation – including drilling, pump setup, taps, and seating – is finished in under three months.

👥 Expanded collective use: This model is ideal for villages, schools, and mosques, where the well is in constant use.

Our Protocol for Building a Well with Seating 💧

Site selection and preparation: The team begins by identifying a strategic location that is both accessible to the community and suitable for drilling. This step includes checking the groundwater table and soil conditions to ensure the project’s viability.

Installation of a solid concrete enclosure: A strong concrete structure is built to secure the well and form the base of the future water point. This element is essential to ensure the stability and durability of the well.

Excavation: Digging is carried out manually or mechanically until the required depth is reached. The goal is to access a reliable water table and provide sufficient flow for collective use.

Pump installation: A manual or electric pump is installed based on local resources (grid or solar energy). This system ensures a steady and practical water supply.

Connection of taps: Five taps are connected to the pump to allow multiple families to draw water simultaneously. This setup helps organise access and reduces waiting times.

Seating area construction: 12 to 16 seats are built around the well, creating a comfortable and social space suitable for gatherings and for the elderly.

Final checks and handover: Water quality is verified, finishing touches are secured, and the well is officially handed over to the beneficiaries, along with GPS coordinates and visual documentation.

Building a Well is One of the Best Forms of Sadaqah jariyah

The Well: A Source of Continuous Charity

Providing access to water by building a well is considered one of the most valued charitable acts in Islam, as its benefits are long-lasting and touch an entire community.

According to a hadith reported by Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“When the son of Adam dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

A well perfectly embodies this concept of ongoing charity: as long as families continue to use this precious water, the customer continues to receive rewards, even after their passing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open your heart
and help those in need
How long does it take to construct a well with seating?

In general, the full project (drilling, tap installation/handover, and seating installation) is completed in under 3 months.

This model is designed to meet the needs of around 700 beneficiaries, making it a suitable solution for large villages, mosques, or schools.

Because the water point is built with 12 to 16 seats around it, so people can wait or rest in a friendly, practical place.

A classic well serves up to 500 people using a manual bucket, whereas the “well with seating” incorporates a pump (manual or electric), several taps, and a shared setup designed for larger gatherings.

Yes. The water is tested before handover to make sure it is clean and safe to drink.

Absolutely. In Islam, building a well falls under ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“When the son of Adam dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”

It depends on the local context: a sturdy manual pump may be preferred in areas without reliable power, while an electric pump (often solar-powered) is installed when possible.

The taps and the pump require regular monitoring/maintenance to ensure they function properly. Local teams are trained in this upkeep to extend the life of the installation.
