Maktab Support
Madrasahs, along with maktabs (or kuttab), trace their traditions back through nearly a thousand years of Islamic learning. Till today, they remain the single most vital tool for preserving Prophetic knowledge and cultivating it amongst the masses of the Ummah.
Ummah Welfare Trust continues to support and strengthen these indispensable institutions. Through subsidies, renovations and sponsorship programmes, the charity has helped establish hundreds of madrassahs and maktabs in recent years, alhamdulillah.

4 things we do to provide the best Maktab education

needs of children in Sierra Leone is carried out by Ummah Welfare Trust.
Based on the level of need, different areas are assigned an intervention
grade.
