As Salaamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you),
Giving Sadaqah Jariah (Continuous Charity)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If a human dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a Sadaqah Jariah (continuous charity), a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him”. (Narrated by Muslim)
Giving Clean Drinking Water as Sadaqah Jariah on Behalf of the Deceased
Sa'd ibn Ubadah asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), "Umm Sa'd (his mother) has died; what form of Sadaqah (charity) is best?" He (pbuh) replied: "Water (is best)." Sa'd dug a well and said: "It is for Umm Sa'd." (Abu-Dawood #1677)
Providing Clean Drinking Water is a form of Sadaqah Jariah as it provides benefits to all of creation for years to come. One can make the intention of donating a water hand pump for themself or on behalf of a loved one who has passed away, and Insha’Allah the person it is intended for will continue to receive rewards for years to come.
Hidaya Foundation (www.hidaya.org), under its Clean Drinking Water Project, installs water hand pumps in poor villages. The average cost of installing a hand pump along with maintenance of the pump for 5 years is $200.

As Salaamu Alaikum (May Peace Be Upon You),
A Companion of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), Sa'd ibn Ubadah, asked he Messenger of Allah (PBUH), "Umm Sa'd has died; what form of Charity Sadaqah) is best?" He (PBUH) replied: "Water (is best)." He dug a well and aid: It is for Umm Sa'd (Abu-Dawood #1677)
One of the well-liked project of Hidaya Foundation (www.hidaya.org) is Water and Pump Project. It benefits impoverished communities in the form of potable drinking water. Hidaya Foundation installs water hand pumps at economically depressed communities. Based on water depth, on an average such hand pumps with a cement platform costs approximately $200 in most regions. This amount includes the maintenance cost of the water pump for approximately five years. In Africa, the cost of installing and maintaining such water hand pumps increases many fold more.
