A charity run by Turkey’s top religious authority said on Monday that it dug a total of 143 water wells and fountains in 20 countries last year.
The Turkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) has provided clean water to over six million people in countries suffering from drought and hunger since 2015, said a statement issued by the charity group.
Ihsan Acik, the second chairman of the board of trustees of the TDV, said that efforts to dig water wells and fountains continue to increase every year.
“…In every geography that has difficulty in accessing clean drinking water, we dig water wells and fountains with the support of our philanthropists. We strive to keep the legacy left by our ancestors to us,” he said.
