Assalāmu Alaykum

My name is Sima Daudi. I am appealing to all who know me to please donate however little or as much as you can to help save more than 5 important Islamic institutes in East London. One of which is a modern state of the art women's center! These institutes have been serving hundreds from the Muslim community for years..mostly for free. We just need to help clear a rent debt which occurred during lockdown. I grew up along side the young Mufti and Muftiya couple who launched all these institutes. I know them well and can vouch for the valuable work they do. They work tirelessly despite having children of their own and jobs and elderly parents. Please donate whatever you can and be a part of a massive dawah project!

Target is just £1000!!

What the funds are for?

Here’s the unique part of our work. The donations are for running costs alone like rent and utilities and media work, that does not include the volunteers and founders who do not earn a penny for running operations. We the founders have day jobs and we contribute to this with our time and money because we believe in this work. Our managers bring expertise from their professional careers.

This creates a highly efficient use of funds where 25k will get (in crude terms) 200k of work, and 100k will get a million’s worth Insha’Allah! 

Here are our current organisations within the ecosystem:

1. Al Madad Outreach- muslim centric mental health (listening line), mediation, counselling, intervention

2. The Quran Institute- to build everlasting relationships by providing a hub for young muslim families to grow together. We believe in scholarship, activism and outreach through the prism of family

3. The Quran Academy- nurturing and discovering the future talent of this ummah through critical thinking and Quran studies

4. Suhba Collective- providing a home away from home for restless souls whilst building bridges within the community through collective worship and social consciousness

5. Mehron Nisa- Lack a centre run for and by young muslim mothers. A centre that combines physical and mental health, self defence and empowerment through islamic education- a refuge and outlet for young mothers.

How else you can help

Help promote our work as a template for families and communities in the West, make dua for us and encourage others to donate. This org has achieved so much in such a small period of time, it deserves far more support for the work put in. We need to prioritise what's actually needed in our communities instead of expanding evermore empty prayer halls.

Here's where you come in:

1. Raise awareness- share this video and our future posts, help us to fundraise, share on whatsapp groups

2. Donate- especially during this holy month where your reward is multiplied!

3. Network- we all know someone who’s wealthy, we need you to reach out to them and help us secure funding

4. Speak to family and friends about us and

benefit from the numerous projects we deliver.

5. And finally make dua that Allah makes it all a success.
