Transform our Imams’ Madrassahs

Imagine classrooms filled with eager students but no desks, books, or chalkboards. This is the reality for many Madrassahs across Africa: South Africa, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Namibia, and Botswana.

You can help us change that.


We Aim to Equip Madrassah Classrooms Across 13 African Countries.
All Madrassah classes are taught by Imams and Mu’allimahs on the Imam Development Program.

The Challenges


  1. Students sitting on bare floors.
  2. No basic learning materials; books, stationery, charts, chalkboard.
  3. Many students can’t afford basic madrasah attire.
  4. Dedicated Imams struggling to teach effectively.

Our Solution: The Essential Madrassah Pack

For $325, you can completely transform a classroom. This isn’t just a temporary fix—it’s an investment in the future of these children and their communities. These communities may be impoverished, but that should not hinder their children from receiving the tools they need for quality Islamic education. Poverty should never be a barrier to knowledge, and with your help, we can break down these barriers and equip these Madrassahs with the essential resources they desperately need.

Your Impact

  1. Transform empty rooms into vibrant learning spaces
  2. Boost student attendance and engagement
  3. Support Imams in their noble mission of preserving Islam across Africa
