We have focused on building water wells since the beginning of EMF’s foundation, and it is one of our areas of expertise. We usually place the water well outside a mosque to make it more accessible to the villagers, as this is often the natural social centre of the village.
Most of these villages are located in areas with little to no access to clean water, and residents must walk long distances to obtain water. One water well can accommodate up to 500 people at once and meet their needs for drinking water, sanitation, and ablution (Wuḍūʾ).
