Education: Investing in schooling and learning opportunities for underprivileged children. We know that “education holds the key to breaking the cycle of poverty”, so we fund schools, scholarships and vocational training.
We help to provide school books, uniforms, school fees & tuition fees for children from poor families. These students though very intelligent, are unable to pursue further education because of financial problems. Ummah Helping Hands encourages them to continue their education by giving moral & financial support to about 100 deserving students in courses such as medical, engineering & science.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.” [Tirmidhi]
Adil and Safwaan are two very intelligent brothers who found it difficult to study after their father's death. Through community members, UHH found out more about the two boys and were eager to help them progress. By the grace of our Creator, Adil is now in his 2nd year of his diploma and Safwaan is now in year 12, studying science subjects. Likewise, UHH is helping many others in a similar situation.
