One child from every household

Alongside our humanitarian work, the Trust started an education centre that gives free education to over 1,200 students. They come from families who barely have money to buy daily food. Some walk over 8km each day, from 108 different villages, to attend their studies.

Our aim is to help families in extreme poverty to educate their children as a means for success in this world and the hereafter إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ. We aim to educate at the very least one child from every household.

Our story

From one teacher to a thriving madrasa

Before 2001, only a small percentage of the area's Muslim population had Islamic education. Masjids stood nearly empty and there was a shortage of Imams. Only 10% of people had sufficient schooling, 90% lived in extreme poverty, and there were no hospitals or health centres nearby.

2001The madrasa opens with 130 children and one teacher, from three neighbouring villages, at a cost of £20 a month.
2019The boys' madrasa is completed on 11 acres, inside a boundary wall of over 700 metres.
TodayOver 1,200 boys and girls study here with 58 staff, at a monthly cost of around £5,000.
