The people of Kyengera, Uganda, have built a masjid, a primary school, a workshop and a marketplace. Alamida Foundation helps them keep building.
Much is already built and running. These are the places where the community gathers, learns and works.
The heart of the community: daily prayers, Jumuʿah and Qur’an classes.
Sewing-machine training; the school uniforms are made here.
P1 to P7 for children aged 6 to 13, next to the masjid.
Halal food and clothing, with a restaurant planned.
