Umul-Qurah Islamic school was started back in 2011 in a remote village in western Sierra Leone called Rokupru. The area is predominantly made up of a Muslim community but due the extreme poverty, Christianity, Polytheism and other beliefs are on the rise as a result of the schools being built around the area and lack of understanding of the Islamic religion. We established Umul-Qurah Islamic school after a request from one the community leaders to help the community with understanding and learning about Islam and Secular education.
We want to have for our teachers a stead monthly salary, Please help us generously.
Alhamdulillah a 992 square metre piece of land was donated to Open Opportunity Inc in Freetown,
Sierra Leone’s capital, to build an orphanage. May Allah S.W.T reward the individual greatly.
Our plan for the land is to build an orphanage that can accommodate approximately 100 orphans with
bathrooms and toilets, a primary school, kindergarten to year 6, a small mosque, playground,
study/living/function area, office space, kitchen & dining area, rooms for staff etc.
Our plan this year is to start the initial stage of the project (see attached conceptual Massing), clearing
and prepping the land for construction, building the fence around the land and completing the
necessary paperwork etc.
Our goal this year is to raise A$50,000, to commence the initial stage of the orphanage project.
“Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it
multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward.” – Quran Al-Hadid (57):18
