After being vetted by our partner teams, we hire contractors that construct the wells. Ehsan Charity and our on-ground team presides over the contractors during the entire building process, to ensure integrity and transparency.
Yes. After a well is first built, we periodically conduct checks to ensure the water is still pure every few months on rotation. In addition to our own inspections, it is critical for Ehsan Charity to ensure community members are trained on how to maintain the wells and handle minute challenges that may arise. These local community members also have access to Ehsan Charity’s team, so that they can call if a problem develops with their water systems.
As soon as the well is built, we send pictures of the entire process. You can expect roughly 20-30 pictures that include the initial drilling into the ground to the construction of the well to families drinking from the well.
Yes. After talking with scholars, the money donated to Ehsan Charity for the intention of providing drinking water for families from low socioeconomic backgrounds fulfills the conditions of Zakat.
Ehsan Charity does not keep a single dollar from your donation. However if you donate from our website, DonorBox will take a small transaction fee for all donations for the well. Due to currency fluctuation in Pakistan, at times there will be excess funds donated to Ehsan Charity. In these situations, the donation is stored in a general well fund that builds wells on an ongoing basis.
