Drought and water scarcity have taken many countries in Africa and Asia captive. In some areas, people have to walk for kilometers to reach wells in remote villages because even though there is water in their villages, it is not clean and drinkable or clean water is available only in wells in church gardens. Moreover, when they try to meet their water needs from rivers, they are faced with many life-threatening dangers such as drowning and attacks by wild animals. In some regions, people unfortunately lose their lives because they consume dirty water.
As Hiranur Ilm and Service Association, we have not turned a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis our brothers and sisters are experiencing. Since the day we started our activities to put an end to their suffering, we have opened hundreds of water wells with the support of our philanthropists, and we have been instrumental in the hope of thousands of oppressed people who were eagerly waiting for a helping hand to reach them through these wells to blossom.
How Do We Build Water Wells?
- Through the meticulous investigations conducted by our international team, areas and villages where access to clean and drinkable water is lacking are identified. In addition, villages that request a water well are also examined on site.
- Suitable areas for opening water wells and for public use are identified.
- Priority rankings for regions are determined, taking into account the identified needs.
- Construction of the water well begins, and the well is opened for use as soon as possible, providing our oppressed brothers and sisters with access to clean water.
- After the water well is completed, a nameplate is hung on the well that our donor has determined to contribute to its construction.
- Images and videos of the opening and use of the well are delivered to our donor.

Every year in Africa, millions of people fall ill and unfortunately lose their lives due to unhealthy water that they travel kilometers to collect. Let's contribute to providing a drop of water to arid lands through your donations.
In Africa, where drought ravages the land, our brothers and sisters have to travel miles in the hope of finding a drop of clean water. The daily lives of those who cannot access clean water are disrupted, and they struggle even to meet their basic needs. As a result, they lose their health, and sometimes even their lives. To put an end to the suffering of our African brothers and sisters, we are opening water wells in many dry regions of Africa, especially in countries such as Chad, Uganda, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Burkina Faso.
Our volunteer overseas team carefully identifies the dry areas and villages ahead of time, and then they work on the preparation of the areas where a water well can be opened. The population of the village, their needs, and their vital functions are taken into consideration, and priority is determined. Based on the work carried out, our oppressed brothers and sisters are connected to clean water. Once the water well is completed, visual and video content is delivered on behalf of our donors.
Let's share the problems of our Muslim brothers and sisters in Asia. Due to living conditions, the people in the region have to struggle with multiple difficulties at the same time. People walk kilometers to access clean water, and sometimes they fall ill and lose their lives due to consuming contaminated water.
Hiranur Ilm and Service Association, under the motto "One Drop of Hope, Thousands of Lives," opened 648 water wells in 2021, providing access to clean water for approximately 250,000 people. We facilitated the emergence of hope for living in the hearts of thousands of families and tens of thousands of needy oppressed people.
