Alamida Foundation is a Bay Area nonprofit led by Imam Ali Abdul Rahman Mukasa, who teaches across masajid in the Bay Area.
Its main work is in Kyengera, Wakiso District, Uganda. There the community has built a masjid, a primary school, a workshop and a marketplace, and the masjid roof is now the most urgent need.
