This community school was founded in 1972 in the poor suburb of Dhaka. For twenty years girls of Keranigonj and its neighbouring areas had been going to a school with no boundary walls and were crossing an open ditch to reach their classes. No other girl’s school was available for them with in five miles radius. Overcrowding to its ultimate limits they accommodated all hungry & thirsty for education. By 1992 the number had reached to 1,028 girls students. Ever since it is on the increase.
They planned to overcome the problems of the school. They wanted to fill the large ditch for creating a playground for girls and build the wall to enclose the area for obvious reasons of security and discipline. They wanted to build a two-storey structure to accommodate the growing demands upon school. Whole project was estimated to cost approximately one Million Bangladeshi Takkas in 1992. Muslim care came to know about the dire need of this community and contributed towards the double storey school building to accommodate the increasing numbers of students. This being the only school for girls in the area, there is always more and more pressure upon them to admit more and more ever since.
This is a story of men of perseverance who came together and decided to carry on helping a growing community and succeeded. A community can only thrive under selfless leadership.
Now it is more than 1250 and they all belong to very poor families.- Young Muslim Primary School, Kenya
Away in the Northeast region of Kenya, this project reflects a combined struggle of many persons from different ethnic groups joining hands for a common cause. For many years they have been teaching children of poor parents. Their efforts have created success stories all the time. They are attracting more and more pupils.
In December 1993 the influx caused congestion of pupils at their lower wing. They wanted to extend the facilities and therefore launched the extension project. They appealed to all the friends far and wide. Muslim Care responded to their need and speedily provided for the construction of three classrooms and other essential services. In September the pupil entered spacious rooms and ever since large numbers have been using these facilities.
Over the last two years, we have sponsoring a numbers of orphans for their education and daily needs. Supporters of Muslim Care specifically donate funds for this scheme. Currently it costs £190/- per year for each child.
The existence and continued growth of this school is the story of a dedicated team’s achievements that has a lot of experience of managing educational institutions and provided strong leadership to a needy community.
Total beneficiaries now exceeding 1,000 and all of them need help very badly.- Madresa High School, India
This school is managed by a registered trust, which runs other institutions as well. This school was started in 1985 with one class and 20 students. Within six years school had attracted 700 students and had 12 classes. In 1992 school planned to expand the facilities in modern education for 1500 students at an estimated cost 4.5M Indian Rupees. A new modern laboratory was a must for secondary school students. School appealed for help throughout the world. Muslim Care considered it a well-documented and well-deserved project and responded to this immediate and important need of this community.
This institution is most respected in Gujrat, India and the working team is well recognised for its integrity and is honoured in the region for its dedication for education. It is supported by all the institutions of the area far and wide and was strongly recommended by most respected organisations of India and UK.
Out of more than 1500 students, about 350 students need financial assistance.- Milli Refah-E-Aam Society, India
A strong and successful team having experience of many religious Arabic and Urdu educational projects for many years decided to have a new direction by establishing an English medium nursery school. They decided to build this nursery school away from the town so expansion should not be problem and all future needs be catered in due course. Eventually the building will house their secondary and tertiary educational facilities. They appealed for building funds. Muslim Care was approached and trustees decided to help this imaginative and dedicated team, working ceaselessly for the growth and development of the community.
This project was patronised and highly recommended by the two most honoured and prominent late Muslim scholars of India.
1. Molaana Abul Hasan Ali Mian Nadvi of Nadwa-tul-Ulma Luckhnow, UP India.
2. Molaana Siddique Ahmed Bandvi of Jameah Arabia Hatora, Banda, UP India.
Muslim Care is continuing to support the young boys and girls orphans at this school by providing finance to cover the cost of education and other needs.
Currently 426 boys and girls are studying in the school. All need help and support. £60/- annually will support the education for one year. Orphans will get education and hostel facilities for only £160/- for one year.- Islamic Centre for the Physically Handicapped, Sri Lanka
This is one of the noblest of noble project in the sense that it is for very poor and disabled people of Sri Lanka including the most vulnerable section of the community i.e. children and women. Their very motto "disability is not inability" is an insignia of determination and is to be remembered by even able-bodied Muslims in this world and age.
They help deaf and dumb, blind and other disabled people to learn useful trade i.e. printing, dental technician, sewing, tailoring and other most useful trade suitable according to the disability of the person. This gives these disabled people a hope for their future. Muslim care recognises the effort and courage of the people involved in the project and supports them wholehearted.
May Allah Bless them for carrying on the project. Their sincerest effort for about ten years now have earned them respect even beyond their country. After existing and carrying on undauntedly for so long, they have reached to embark upon a very promising future.
Muslim care shares their vision of better rehabilitation of disabled and neglected ones of the society. Muslim Care has participated in this project right from the start and has financed the construction of twenty classrooms, Library and a workshop. They have opened the facilities now to it’s users.
We have also provided financial assistance to the disabled and orphan children at this centre and Insha Allah plan to help on a regular basis.
More than 200 beneficiaries are totally dependent upon outside help for their needs.- Kamandpur & Bela-valsara village Primary School, India
-
In distant villages of Kamandpur and Bela-valsara in Mandra Kutch India, the most neglected and poorest areas of India, some dedicated Muslims are trying to achieve impossible by providing educational facilities for infants and young children boys and girls.
Without basic necessities like water and essential services and where electricity and furniture would class as luxury, one can only admire the courage and dedication of these pioneers to endeavour to establish a school.
They continued and were noticed by some visiting Muslims from UK. The plight came to the knowledge of Muslim Care and was immediately responded by providing water, electricity, toilets and modest furniture for these innocent students.
The project is running at three different small villages and beneficiaries total about 100 small boys and girls from very poor families. - Medical Aid Foundation, Pakistan

Cancer knows no social barriers. It strikes indiscriminately, bringing in its wake endless suffering that ravages the body and saps the will. For advanced and terminal cancer patients from low-income groups, the dreaded disease most certainly carries the stamp of death in life. Rahatkada is the first step in providing a solution.
At Medical aid foundation (Cancer division) they have set out to fulfil this long-standing requirement with the opening of Rahatkada. This is a continuing care unit, the first and only of its kind, that provides extensive nursing facilities to advanced and terminal cancer patients.
Muslim Care responded to their request for direly needed medical equipment to help the treatment for these helpless people.
In-patients belonging to poor families occupy 20 beds in the foundation building and need constant care and support. - M-IN-D organisation, Pakistan

Over 12 million people in Pakistan are suffering from mild to severe mental disorder. 70%-80 % of these are deprived of any psychiatric care. Instead, on account of limited awareness and lack of better services, they are left at the mercy of local unqualified people. Primitive methods of treating mental disorders like blood letting (making a hole in the forehead to drain out so called contaminated blood), chaining for days and weeks, body scalding, etc. continue unabated. For the mentally ill it really does not matter whether we live in twentieth or twenty-first century.
M-in-D (MIND); a medical voluntary organisation headed by prominent Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Saad Bashir Malik, has responded to address the situation in the most practical way. A team of doctors, who have no personal gains, is giving their time on a regular basis. They travel a long distance away from their comfortable homes and attend these cases. This mall over stretched centre is functioning with very little financial backing.
Muslim Care has responded to the situation. Need is greater that the resources at our disposal. We would like to help this project as much as possible in future.
