Build A Home. Rebuild Lives
The home is the cornerstone of any family’s independence. It provides sanctuary and protection. A permanent, robust dwelling helps a family integrate into the wider community, work towards a better future, and be more resilient against any calamities that may befall them.
However, despite the fundamental need for housing, millions of people live in uninhabitable dwellings, and even under open skies, because they have no income. Orphaned families and single mothers are among the most vulnerable to housing poverty, as they often lack a stable income.
‘There is no right for the son of Adam except in these things: a house in which he lives, a garment to cover his nakedness, a piece of bread and water.’ [Tirmidhi]
A proper home is the pathway to a better life. In regions facing conflict, poverty, and natural disasters, countless families are left without safe housing. Ummah Welfare Trust is committed to providing secure and dignified homes for those in need.
Build a House
Your donation can transform lives by building secure homes for families in need. Together, we can bring safety, dignity, and hope to families in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Pakistan.
- If you have fully funded the construction of a house, a report will be sent (via email unless otherwise indicated) upon completion, inshaAllah. Typically, this will be within 12 months.
- If you wish to fully fund a house through instalments, please note that full payment must be donated within one year – the final donation must be received within 12 months of the first instalment. Construction will begin following the final instalment.

The Sadaqah Jariyah of Providing a New Home
Providing a new home to a deserving family creates a profound Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) legacy for you or the one on whose behalf you donate. The ongoing rewards you will receive for giving new shelter to a needy family include, but are not limited to:
- The protection a family receives from the cold, heat and harsh weather.
- The safety, dignity and privacy that a proper home provides.
- Every meal eaten and every worship enacted under its roof.
- The emotional and economic stability of owning your own permanent home.
- Every good deed done in the home.
- The ongoing inheritors of the home will continue to bring rewards to the donor.
