Namaa Charity, affiliated with the Social Reform Society in Kuwait, has announced a major humanitarian initiative to improve access to clean water in India and Chad, benefiting more than 13,000 people in total. The projects focus on drilling semi-artesian wells in India and artesian wells in Chad, alongside urgent relief assistance for Sudanese refugees.
In India, the organization is implementing a project to drill eight semi-artesian wells across several regions, reaching over 3,000 beneficiaries. The initiative responds to severe water scarcity in many communities where families are forced to travel long distances to access safe drinking water. The new wells are expected to provide a reliable and sustainable water source, improve public health, reduce waterborne diseases, and enhance overall living conditions. The charity emphasized that the project reflects Kuwait’s humanitarian values and the ongoing role of donors in supporting vulnerable populations.
In Chad, Namaa Charity has also completed a project to drill three artesian wells in Hajar Lamis state, covering the villages of Malawi and Al-Masaqat, benefiting around 9,000 people. In addition, the initiative includes emergency relief support for Sudanese refugees, bringing total beneficiaries in the region to more than 10,000 people. The wells address critical water shortages that have forced residents to endure long and difficult journeys to secure basic water needs.
The organization highlighted that access to safe water is essential not only for drinking but also for health, livelihoods, and community stability. It also underscored the severe humanitarian challenges faced by refugees, particularly shortages of food, water, and essential services, and reaffirmed its commitment to expanding relief operations and improving living conditions for affected populations.
