The rise in anti-Muslim violence and discrimination has left deep scars on our society. But amidst these challenges, a glimmer of hope shines—a chance to empower our youth to rise above the obstacles they face.

 

Education is that beacon of hope. However, it’s disheartening to see our community’s children being deprived of education due to bans on hijabs in some states, exacerbating the issue with political and economic disparities.

Institution Development Plan:

We envision an institution that will not only bridge the educational gap but also provide essential skills, social support, and a sense of hope. Our proposed institution will offer a comprehensive curriculum deeply rooted in Islamic values, encompassing early childhood education, post-secondary learning, and adult education—a beacon of learning, much like the revered Aligarh Muslim University.

Our school is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a haven for learning and growth. Our facilities include a fully-equipped kitchen, modern computer labs, a dedicated space for mental health, and a gymnasium. For spiritual growth, Quran classes will be available, nurturing religious beliefs. Moreover, coding classes will empower students with skills vital in today’s global job market, fostering innovation, problem-solving, and leadership.

In 2024, we will insha’allah secure a prime piece of land for our school with an investment of INR 11 Crore (~USD 1317450.20). Our budget for the entire project is $3 million, covering land, construction, equipment, and more.

School Amenities:

  • 3 School Buildings
  • 1 Food Court
  • 1 Sports Hall
  • 3 Laboratories
  • 1 Central Library
  • 1 Teachers’ Room
  • 1 Psychosocial Support Room
  • 1 Manager Room
  • 1 Meeting Hall
  • 2 Boys Hostels ( For Future Reference )
  • 1 Girls Hostel ( For Future Reference )

These facilities will cost approximately INR 250,000,000.00. While we’ve made progress, we need your support to reach our goal.

This project promises a profound impact on our Muslim communities and society at large. By supporting us, you’re investing in a brighter future, ensuring young Muslims access quality education, and fostering leaders who will enrich their community.

A Lack of Education Leads to a Cycle of Poverty

In a world where education is the cornerstone of individual growth, societal development, and national progress, we stand at a critical juncture. Education is not just a means; it’s the ultimate path to a better life. It empowers individuals to secure their livelihoods, contributes to their well-being, and strengthens communities. However, in India, a significant challenge looms large: a staggering 52% of India’s Muslim population lacks basic literacy skills.

This literacy gap is intertwined with the web of poverty, plaguing nearly one-third of India’s vast population. Poverty brings with it a host of problems—poor health, inadequate sanitation, limited access to quality education, unemployment, and malnutrition—all contributing to a cycle of despair. Amidst this, the Muslim community, one of the world’s fastest-growing, faces barriers to accessing quality education.

Education: The Key to Progress and Prosperity

Existing institutions often lack the resources and infrastructure to provide holistic education that preserves Islamic values and principles. This disconnect between education and cultural identity leaves many young Muslims feeling marginalized and disengaged from their community. Some children lack even the basic resources like books or uniforms, setting them up to fall behind and never catch up. Youth drop out of school to support their families, and schools remain understaffed, failing to provide adequate education.

The absence of education exacerbates the risk of involvement in risky behaviors, deepening the cycle of poverty. Our mission is clear: we aim to break this cycle and open doors of opportunity.
