Together, we are changing lives across key areas of impact
Faith & Community
We support spiritual engagement and leadership to strengthen identity and service worldwide. Our work funds religious education (seminaries, teacher training) and community-building faith programmes (Muharram, Arbaeen). We empower mosques and centres to become anchors of worship and learning, fostering unity and moral guidance.
Through the Lady Fatima (as) Water Initiative, we deliver sustainable WASH solutions. We install solar-powered boreholes, wells, and sanitation facilities to provide lasting clean water access. This restores health, dignity, and opportunity, creating a foundation for vulnerable families to thrive in faith and community.
We provide life-saving and essential medical care to underserved communities. Our initiatives fund community clinics, life-saving surgeries, and mother and child programs. This access to compassionate healthcare protects dignity, reduces preventable illness, and builds stronger, healthier families for lasting community resilience.
We empower individuals and uplift communities through holistic education support. Our initiatives provide school sponsorships, vocational training, and university scholarships to students from primary through tertiary levels. We build confidence and capability, giving every student the tools to achieve financial independence and secure a brighter future.
We deliver consistent, dignified food support through our Food Aid and Nutrition Programmes. This includes distributing essential food baskets, Qurbani meat parcels, and school meals. Our work sustains body and soul, reducing malnutrition and empowering families to live, learn, and worship with health and stability.
We provide holistic, long-term care to strengthen vulnerable families. Our support covers orphans with education and wellbeing, and assists widows with consistent monthly aid for stability and dignity. We empower these families to rebuild their lives with self-reliance, security, and renewed hope.
