The Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) has inaugurated 23 water wells and foundation fountains in various regions of Afghanistan to help communities struggling with limited access to clean water. 

The Foundation’s efforts to provide water wells and foundation fountains across the country are ongoing. 

As a result of these efforts, the number of water wells and foundation fountains constructed by the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) in Afghanistan has reached 23. 

Türkiye’s Ambassador to Kabul, Sadin Ayyıldız, stated that relations between the two countries should continue to grow stronger across all areas of cooperation. 

Ayyıldız noted that these facilities were a gift from Türkiye to the people of Afghanistan, a friendly and brotherly nation, and a trust entrusted to them by Türkiye. 

Dr. Emrah Kandemir, Religious Services Counsellor at the Embassy of Türkiye in Kabul, emphasised the importance of providing people with access to water as an act of charity. He stated: 

“Water is a fundamental need and a matter of vital importance. It is indispensable to healthily sustaining human life. The support of our noble nation and its hand of friendship and brotherhood extend far beyond our own borders, reaching people in diverse regions of the world.” 

Kandemir emphasised that access to clean water remains a challenge in many countries around the world, stressing that access to clean water is an essential necessity. 

Kandemir stated the following: 

“The Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) and the Religious Services Counsellor’s Office in Kabul continue to implement water well and foundation fountain projects throughout Afghanistan. We believe that, with the continued support of the Turkish people, these charitable initiatives will grow from strength to strength. 

The wells and fountains opened in different provinces are not only a source of water but also a reflection of our architectural and cultural heritage and our nation’s profound commitment to generosity, mutual assistance and brotherhood. We extend our sincere thanks to the Presidency of Religious Affairs, the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation and all our valued benefactors.” 

Afghan officials also expressed their gratitude for Türkiye’s continued support, stating that the assistance provided by the Turkish people to Afghanistan would never be forgotten.
