Hand water pump: Anondo Nogor, Badanpur, Sunamganj, Bangladesh

Background

Al Ummah Foundation received a request to install a hand water pump ( tubewell ) in a rural village of Anondo Nogor in the district of Sunamganj, Bangladesh. Two families do not have easy access to clean water. There are no nearby hand water pumps or any other means to access fresh clean water. Families have to walk 10-15 min to carry water in bulk on a regular basis. They don’t even have a pond nearby. Providing water well in this location will help provide freely available water to these families.

The families are very poor and do not have a steady source of income; instead, they rely on doing odd jobs and work in other people’s houses as a way of making money. Providing these families with a tube well is vital as it will ensure that these families have unlimited free access to fresh, clean water for drinking, domestic use and bathing, without them having to travel long distances for water. Having a tube well will also ensure that surrounding families have easy access to water, as the families have stated they will not restrict others from accessing their tube well.

Outcome

The project was approved in Sept 2021 and completed by Dec 2021. The hand water pump has been installed in the land of the beneficiary and is in an open area where it will be accessible to anyone, without any restriction. As a result of this project, these families and nearby houses now have unlimited access to fresh clean water, for drinking, domestic use and bathing and would not need to walk a long distance to get access to clean water.

This hand water pump was donated by the Donor as Sadaqah Jariyah through our build-a-well donation page. May Allah (SWT) reward the donor and their family abundantly.
