Which charity organisation is better

I want to donate a part of my zakat to a charity organization towards a well/hand pump. Have heard good and bad stories about a few so not sure which one to donate too. Can anyone recommend an organization that has a good repute and has done actual work on the ground especially towards the clean water initiative?

Best,

I know Islamic relief has this water initiative. May be Helping hands does it too. But i'm not sure about which geographical locations they focus on. I think Islamic relief does it only for Africa.

I'll be interested to know your findings too so please share if you find anything

I don’t know this initiative.

SIUT is hospital run by Dr. Adeeb Rizvi and his team. They operate patients of kidney diseases and kidney transplantation free of cost.

Note: I missed your clean water initiative in your first post. Please disregard my responses on SIUT.

Monk not sure I understood what you said.

Sid_NY I will insha Allah. I know hidaya foundation is quoting $300 for a hand pump which is okay but I just hope the money goes towards the cause.

Thank you for your response Mahool :) appreciate it.

A noble mission. Good luck.

Meanwhile, one of the ways to help with this is to NOT WASTE RESOURCES, INCLUDING WATER. If each of us did this, the water shortage issue can be successfully addressed. Along with climate change.

So it's not just about money. It's about our daily behavior. And increasing our sphere of influence.

I have always thought doing something (as in donating labour for institutions...like teach for India) is better..

@Mahbano just saw the “water for life” project from helping hands (hhrd). Take a look:
