Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, 
‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. 
[Sahih Muslim]

Setting up a Sadaqah Jariyah project in a person's name ensures that they receive the rewards from that project. For example, a mosque built in the name of a parent who has passed away will ensure that they get the reward of every benefit derived from that mosque. So whether it is from people praying, children learning Qur'an, or even someone resting in the mosque, the rewards for all these actions will be awarded to the person for whom the mosque was built.

Sadaqah Jariyah projects are not just for the deceased - they can also be set up in the name of those living. A water well donated in the name of a newborn child will ensure that the child gets the reward of providing clean, safe water for people to drink, wash or perform ablution with or even feed their animals.

And as these are long-lasting projects, the people on whose behalf they are donated will benefit for many years to come.
