During the first few years of One Ummah Foundation’s history, we provided
funding to refurbish fifteen schools in Pakistan, the largest of which, the
Al-Khair school, provides lessons and lunch five days a week for 2,700 children.
The other two Karachi schools, Al-Mustafa Academy, and the Rahmania
Masjid School, provide for 600 additional students.Recently, our activities are primarily concentrated in one organization in Jhelum, Pakistan recommended by one of our large donors.
The organization, Capt. Muazzam Ali Shaheed Welfare Council,
is currently raising funds for a new 60-bed hospital in Jhelum
and also runs the Al Qasim Institute, a technical school for mentally handicapped children in Jhelum.
