Tanzania Orphan Project
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
We're raising funds to launch a transformative project Bayt Al - Rahma: a dedicated Boys’ Orphan Care and Madrasah in Arusha, Tanzania. This centre will offer comprehensive care—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—to orphaned boys, ensuring they are given the tools and support to thrive in this world and the next. Our founder Amira became a traveller, she met people from all around the world and was deeply moved by the struggles of those in need—especially orphans. The experience humbled her and ignited a strong desire to give back to the countries she visited. This project is incredibly close to her heart. Alhamdulillah, we have successfully started supporting the girls—and now, we want to begin building for the boys. And you can be a part of this.
Why this matters..
During our 2023 trip to Tanzania with The Wanderlust Women—a God-centered hiking and healing collective for Muslim women—we visited the Ummu Aisha Orphanage in Arusha. There, we met Mama Salma and the 14 orphaned girls she cares for. Since then, we've been supporting the centre and its girls.
Now, we’re expanding our efforts.
We’ve seen the urgent need to support orphaned boys—many of whom are left behind, without access to shelter, education, or emotional and spiritual care. This new centre will be a safe, purpose-built space designed to support boys from infancy to graduation and beyond.
Help us build a Madrasa and Orphan Centre
Our contribution will not only help raise boys in a nurturing, Islamic environment—but will also empower them to become community leaders, educators, and changemakers, Insha’Allah.
Let’s be a part of something meaningful. Let’s give them the life, love, and support they deserve.
“The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together. (Bukhari)
