Waqf Project
Almanaar will incure the cost for long lease and fit out, which is currently estimated to reach £1,200,000, including £580,000 for the lease only. As of 7th March 2024, we have raised donations from our community £301,263.00.
We are confident that, with Allah's help and blessings, we will raise the remaining amount to secure the lease and establish the social enterprise projects that will serve the community while generating sustainable income to Almanaar to continue delivering activities and services that meet the needs of our community in-sha-Allah.
