Moyamba, Sierra Leone

Building a New Islamic Community

Moyamba is a historic district in Sierra Leone with a longstanding Muslim presence. Sadly, it has suffered decades with little to no Islamic learning available for its youth. During this time, missionary institutions have filled the void, expanding their reach through schools and social services, resulting in the apostasy of many of our brothers and sisters. Where strong Islamic institutions are absent, faith and identity weaken, as Moyamba has shown.

To redress this calamity, Ummah Welfare Trust is building a new Qur’anic Tarbiyah Academy that will provide structured Islamic learning from childhood to adulthood. It will be a robust Islamic institution seeking to root Sierra Leone’s communities in the Book of Allah and Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ.

With your support, the school will promote academic excellence, tarbiyah-centred character development, vocational training and community services. The Academy will not only educate students but will also produce teachers, scholars, and preachers capable of serving the wider West African region, inshaAllah.

Located in a vast area with limited Islamic infrastructure, Ummah Welfare Trust needs your help to establish this new and generation-changing academy. It will serve as a vital resource for Sierra Leoneans for learning, leadership and Islam.
