Student of Knowledge
Board, books and living costs for students in full-time Islamic study.
₹3,000 a month supports one student's board and books.
The building is only as useful as its upkeep
Roofs, water tanks, wiring and teaching materials do not photograph well and are rarely funded. They are also what keeps a building in use.
We fund upkeep rather than construction, because an unmaintained new building becomes the next appeal.
How you can help
Where it goes
Your donation is an amanah — a trust held on your behalf, and on behalf of the household that receives it. We treat it as money that is not ours, because it is not.
That means buying at market rates and keeping the quotes, signing every handover against a register, and publishing accounts that an auditor has seen before you have.
We will tell you what your donation funded, including when it did not go to plan. We will not publish a figure we cannot evidence — you will find outstanding markers on this site rather than estimates.
And we will never use a photograph of someone in distress to raise money from you.
Questions
Rarely. We prioritise the upkeep of buildings already in use.
