Global Water Challenges
Tube Wells in Asia
Since 2000, 1.8 billion people have gained access to basic drinking water — yet around 785 million still go without, and in rural areas eight in ten people lack access to clean water.
Muntada Aid constructs shallow tube wells in Pakistan and Bangladesh using a manual tube-well system, built within a community so that a cluster of families can share it.
Each tube well serves 50 to 100 people daily and is designed to last at least a decade, bringing clean water to families who would otherwise go without.

A story of dignity
Daughter of the Desert – Barakatu
“Water should not be a privilege. It is a human right.”
This is the story of Barakatu and how access to clean water is changing her life in the quiet corner of the Sahara.
Barakatu is 18 and lives with her parents in the village of Tanka in Niger. Due to the family's socio-economic situation, Barakatu had to leave education after finishing her primary school.

How we assign a water well?
- Step 1
Need Assessment
Our team on the ground performs a need assessment before commissioning a water well in a specific area.
- Step 2
Soil and Water testing
Before we start the construction process, we will carry out specific water tests (depending on the country) to check the quality and safety of the water. We also collaborate with local authorities for various permissions and other legal permits needed for construction during this period.
- Step 3
Construction
The construction starts immediately after acquiring the relevant permissions from the local authorities and when suitable weather conditions permit.
- Step 4
Handover to the local community
Once the water well is constructed and ready to use safely, we hand it over to the local community.
- Step 5
Feedback
Once the water well is handed to the local population, we will share a personalised feedback report with photos of the well and beneficiaries.
