Welfare

Al-Ansaar Welfare & Education was founded to meet two main objectives; Education and Welfare.

Although the former encompasses over 90% of our activities, in partnership with various UK registered charities, we carry out welfare projects in various parts of the world.

Our aim is to carry out at least one “large” project every year. We are grateful to our parents for their continued support and donations.

Our welfare projects provide valuable learning for our children. We try our best to include practical lessons, guidance and multi-media in every project, to help us inculcate compassion, mercy and a desire to help those who are in need.

This page provides an update on some of our projects undertaken.

Sunnah of the Month - Tree Planting

As part of our Sunnah of the Month initiative, we discussed “Looking After the Environment” in the Madrasah. We then initiated a “Tree Planting Appeal”. Masha-Allah our pupils and parents donated generously and we managed to raise £1,457.04 towards planting of trees in Gaza etc and also in Moor Park!

Rohingya Madrasah Teachers

Supporting Rohingya Madrasah Teachers (in the camps) – Ongoing Project

Appeal to all our parents and supporters

The current Rohingya crisis started in 2017, and there are now well over a million refugees on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border. Whilst the UN provides basic food, some medicines and schooling for young children, the Iman, Islamic identity and future of 1000’s of children are potentially at risk.

Despite severe challenges, Madrasah teachers are giving their time and educating children in often what is make-shift huts and classrooms. Whilst many refugees engage in “casual labour” to earn some income, these teachers are unable to engage in this economic activity due to their teaching commitments.

We want to support these teachers, so they continue with this important work of educating and safeguarding the Iman of their children.

Help us in supporting over 250 teachers by:

Donate your Zakaat, Sadaqah and Lillah.
These teachers are eligible for your Zakaat.
We aim to give every teacher a payment of £50-£100 personally. This will support a teacher for 3-4 months, allowing them to purchase what they need most.
Watch the first video, this gives details of Zakaat distributed in January 2019.
This project is in conjunction with Peoples Needs UK (PNUK). A UK registered charity.
