The only wealth that follows you into your grave.
We don't send aid that gets consumed. We build wells that keep flowing, gardens that keep feeding, and orphanages that sustain themselves.
Build something that outlives you
Secure online payments will be available shortly. Thank you for your patience.
See what we've builtMost charity gets consumed. Ours sustains itself.
Traditional aid follows a cycle: you donate, aid is delivered, aid is consumed, the need returns, you donate again. The community stays dependent. The charity stays necessary.
We broke the cycle.
Every project HPA builds is designed so the community runs it without us. A well the village maintains. A garden the school harvests. A chicken coop that makes the orphanage feed itself. When we leave, the infrastructure stays — and it keeps producing.
The goal isn't to keep giving. The goal is to build until giving isn't needed anymore.
Choose what you build.
Every dollar funds infrastructure that communities own and run themselves. Your Sadaqa Jariya starts here.
Water Infrastructure
Wells and pipeline networks that communities own and operate for decades. Once built, they flow without us.
Fund a well
Food Autonomy
Fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, and permaculture systems that turn barren land into permanent food sources. The land feeds — every season, without aid.
Plant trees
Orphanage Self-Sufficiency
Chicken coops, gardens, and infrastructure that turn orphanages into self-sustaining operations. No more waiting for the next donation.
Build a coop
Emergency Relief
Direct food distribution and urgent aid for families in crisis — because some needs can't wait for a garden to grow.
Provide relief
Knowledge That Compounds
School supplies, literacy programs, and learning spaces. Education is Sadaqa Jariya — it keeps giving through every person it reaches.
Fund educationSadaqa Jariya — charity that never stops.
إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث: صدقة جارية، أو علم ينتفع به، أو ولد صالح يدعو له
“When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.”
Sadaqa Jariya means "flowing charity" — a deed so enduring that its reward continues even after you're gone. It's not just the highest form of giving in Islam. It's the only kind of wealth that follows you beyond this life.
HPA was built around this idea. Not as a branding exercise — as an operating model.
A well we build today will still be flowing in 2045. A fruit tree planted this Ramadan will still be feeding a family when your grandchildren have grandchildren. An orphanage made self-sufficient never goes back to depending on outside aid.
Every project is Sadaqa Jariya by design. Not because we label it that way — because the infrastructure itself keeps giving. That's the difference between a donation that gets consumed and one that compounds.
Your wealth can't follow you. But what it builds can.
Build your Sadaqa JariyaWhat we're building right now.
Active projects on the ground in Afghanistan. Every one designed to sustain itself.
HPA Waqf Land – Wall, Trees and Self-Sufficiency
A waqf land project that will become HPA’s future self-sufficiency center: fruit trees, water, caretaker house and protective wall.
A Well for a Family or a Village
Build a sustainable well with a pump and solar installation to provide clean water to families and villages.
Your money builds. That's it.
No one at HPA takes a salary. The founders, the team on the ground — everyone works as volunteers, for the sake of Allah. There's no office. No marketing budget. No administrative layer between your donation and the work.
Your money pays for materials, contractors, and the logistics to get them to remote Afghan villages. Over 90% of every dollar goes directly to construction and ground operations. The only costs that touch donations are the ones you can't avoid — payment processing and transport to the field.
Every project is documented with photos, video, and GPS coordinates. You don't have to take our word for it.
You give.
Your donation goes directly to active projects. No middlemen, no administrative cut.
We build.
Materials are purchased locally. Local contractors do the construction. Our founders oversee every project in person.
You see the proof.
Photos, videos, and GPS coordinates for every project. Verified by the people who built it and the community that uses it.
Built by people who live on the ground.
Jean-Louis didn't start HPA from a boardroom. He sold everything, moved to Afghanistan, and built the organization from the field — because you don't build self-sufficiency by remote control.
He chose Afghanistan because the need is immense and the potential is real. Decades of conflict left communities without basic infrastructure — but the land is fertile, the people are resourceful, and the right systems turn scarcity into abundance. Permaculture isn't theory here. It's survival.
He lives alongside the communities he serves. He's there when the well is dug, when the trees are planted, when the first eggs come from a new coop. There's no middleman between your donation and the ground — because the founder is the ground team.
Common Questions
Yes. HPA is a registered Canadian not-for-profit organization. All donations are processed through secure payment infrastructure.
No. Every person at HPA — including the founders — works on a volunteer basis. No salaries, stipends, or administrative fees are taken from donations. Your money funds construction, materials, and ground logistics.
Over 90% of every dollar goes directly to construction materials, local contractors, and transport to project sites. The only non-project costs are unavoidable payment processing fees (credit card/bank charges) and fuel for reaching remote villages.
We recommend consulting with your local imam or scholar about your specific Zakat obligations. HPA projects — particularly water wells, food systems, and orphan support — align with categories traditionally eligible for Sadaqah and Sadaqa Jariya.
Every project is documented with photos, video, and GPS coordinates. Our founders live on the ground in Afghanistan and personally oversee construction. You can view completed project documentation on our Projects page.
Yes. Sadaqa Jariya on behalf of the deceased is one of the most rewarding forms of giving in Islam. When you donate, you can dedicate your contribution in someone's name. The reward reaches them as long as the infrastructure keeps giving.
The community takes full ownership. Our projects are designed to run without HPA. Wells are maintained by local villages. Gardens are harvested by schools and families. Chicken coops are operated by orphanages. When we leave, the system stays.
Yes. Visit our Projects page to see active projects and contribute directly to the one that resonates with you. You can also make a general donation and we'll direct it where the need is greatest.
Everything you own stays behind. Build something that doesn't.
Your Sadaqa Jariya — wells, trees, food systems — keeps working long after you're gone.
