Help local children attain an Islamic education in an impoverished area of Sylhet and gain immense rewards!






What is the cause?

77 year old Noorjahan had a vision to provide education for local impoverished children in a remote village in Bangladesh where she grew up. Noorjahan converted to Islam in the 1960’s and so did her late father, Islam Ali who was a teacher following in his daughter's footsteps. Both kept hold of their new found faith despite suffering backlash. Noorjahan has given in charity all her life including supporting people to build their homes. Noor E Madina Madrasa is a vision to keep the legacy of teaching continuing for her late father as well as an ongoing sadaqa jariya now that she has reached the latter part of life. 
After suffering a second stroke in 2019 the completion of the Noor E Madina Madrasa has stalled with partial classes taking place for 40 children with 60 on roll and only one teacher. As demand outstrips capacity, Noorjahan needs your help to complete the outstanding works and extension of the Madrasa so the poor in the community can make their dream come true to get an education for their children and avoid sending them to premature labour. 

Current status

At present there are two class rooms and one small office. This allows for 30-40 children to attend Qur'an and Islamic studies classes 3 times a week. The children's age vary from 4 years old to teenagers. The facilities are incomplete and travelling in monsoon rainy days through muddy paths means a very wet start to learning! With limited toilet, washing and wudu facilities. Despite these challenges, the children are learning.


How can you help?


We need your help with the following:

Run pipes and water to the wudu and sanitary areas

Install 2 toilets 

Install sinks in the classrooms 

Buy benches and tables

Concrete the path leading up to the madrasa and front to make a play area/wall the path for safety

Extend an additional classroom to accommodate all the children currently on roll/books

One year salary for an additional teacher to run a full Qur'an programme


    Rewards

    Surah Al Alaq (Q: 96 V 1 and 3)
    "Recite in the name of your Lord who created...
    Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous"
    Acquire immense rewards, for the objective of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
    Imagine the Sadaqa Jariya of ongoing rewards for every lip that utters a surah, who performs salah and those that go on to teach others! 



    Who are we and what's the plan?


    We are a mother, son and daughter team with project management background. Noorjahan has experience of building homes in Bangladesh and her daughter manages family support projects in the U.K. Eldest son will have access to local builders in Bangladesh and materials which will help the local businesses.
    A trusted contractor to oversee the works.

    We aim for the works to be completed within 3 months from start to finish, weather permitting and once the campaign ends. 

    The long term plan

    Once this project is up and running fully, we aim to build on the education programme by converting a nearby village property into a school. Whilst the Noor E Madina Madrasa will focus on Islamic and Qur'anic studies, the nearby converted school will focus on English, Maths, Science and Bengali classes. This project will be open to children of all backgrounds and priority for those who have been orphaned. Here's the plot. (This fundraiser doesn't cover that plan). 
    Second school plot of land and disused house to be converted into a school.
