    Why HNCO's Water Pump Costs Are Competitive

    HNCO operates with minimal overheads by working directly with local volunteers and partners in Pakistan, Africa, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This direct approach means more of every donation goes to the ground.

    The £150 hand pump price point is among the most affordable in the UK Islamic non-profit sector, while still covering full installation, a dedication plaque, and a completion report for every donor.
