Water well projects of IAC are targeted for water scarce locations to address the acute challenges associated with limited access to clean and safe drinking water. Communities in such locations face significant hardships due to water scarcity including impacts to agriculture, health and wellbeing. Water wells provide a sustainable water source that meets both immediate needs and ensure long term health and resilience of communities. It also contributes to empowerment, particularly of women and children, who often bear the burden of collecting water from far distances. Water wells are given special emphasis due to several reasons. In addition to immediate benefits such as easing access to life sustaining water for cooking, cleaning and other personal use, access to safe water contributes to prevention of water borne illnesses. Impact of water well construction extends beyond individual and community health to broader socio-economic development as well. Access to water is necessary for agriculture, livestock, and small-scale enterprises to thrive and by providing reliable water sources IAC contributes to improved agricultural productivity, food security, and economic opportunities for communities. Thus, water provision addresses immediate needs and also fosters long-term resilience and self-sufficiency in water-scarce regions. Water well projects are also given special emphasis because building a water well is one of the most virtuous deeds that a Muslim can do as charity. Water well projects constitute ongoing charity meaning water accessibility is facilitated for generations to come.
