1 Activity Report 2011/12

2 AMIR S MESSAGE BISMILLAHI RAHMANI RAHEEM Dear brothers and sisters in Islam Assalamu Aleikum, It gives me great pleasure to present our activity report for the year 2011/2012. We have by the grace of Allah and your generous partnership, Alhamdulillah managed to achieve our targets and pray that we complete the remaining projects in due course. We, focusing on our vision, Eradication of poverty through Education, have continually strived to empower and uplift the Muslim youth, and as the hadith of our holy prophet (PBUH) says Attainment of knowledge is a must for all Muslims, we at MDO put a lot more emphasis on developing the Alfurqan Training Institute at Maili tisa. Further to our appeal for funds to construct the teachers residences and your positive response, I am pleased to report that we have completed construction of six units and will embark on the balance four units as soon as funds become available. We have this year earmarked other projects at the institute which will be highlighted in the Alfurqan report. I sincerely thank you for your partnership and guidance and look forward to continue with our combined efforts to uplift the status of the Muslim ummah. Finally, the blessed holy month of Ramadhan will be with us soon and I urge you all to strive to maximize your ibadah during this period and seek Allah s forgiveness and pray for the Muslim ummah at large. I wish you all Ramadhan Mubarak. Wasallam Hafeez Ishak Ismail Ahmed Amir Maahad Daawah Organization. New van

4 QURBANI/UDHIYYA 2011 Due to drought in the North Eastern and Upper Eastern Provinces of Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia and the coming in of International Islamic organization into Kenya to perform Uddhiyya, led to a significant reduction of shares for Udhiyyas, creating a high demand leading to shortages of animals and increment in prices. Alhamdulillahi,we managed to slaughter a total of 1385 Shares (Goats). Summary of Distribution Areas: 1. WESTERN KENYA 598 Shares were distributed in this area, most of them are subsistence farmers and Labourers. 2.

The parents as well as the students realize the value of having a good education and this could be an avenue to remove them from the poverty they are facing. We have top performing students in their respective classes, applying for our education bursaries and last year two of the girls under this sponsorship scored a mean grade B. Below are some of the sponsored students. Area-Kinna Form 4 Area- Dandora-Form 2 Area -Eastleigh Form 1 Area- Garissa- Form 3 Area Embakasi-Form 4

8 NEW INTAKE This year the institute admitted 52 students raising the number of students to over a 170, the highest ever in the institute s history whereby we had more than 15 students with over 300 marks in their KCPE examination. Alhamdulillah the demand for places has also increased and we had to turn down a number of students. The reason that the demand has improved is because of the caliber of our former students and the impact they are portraying wherever they reside or work as Imams/dais and more parents want their sons to emulate them. CURRENT CURRICULUM We offer a Six year course: Two years Arabic Language Three years Higher Islamic Education including using a well equipped Computer room Final year is for a crash course in KCSE Certificate, regular secondary subjects are taught during the other years. Our desire is these students will take up IRE teaching careers. The top student from this class is teaching in Mombasa and the Institute is impressed with his performance. GRADUATION: To date over 50 students have graduated from the Institute. Students in laboratory

9 Local Community Integration The local Maasai boys from the area now doing well and one has memorized the Juzu within 6 months and the teachers are happy with their performance. ATI STUDENT SPONSORSHIP The cost of educating one student is KShs. 9000/- subsidized rate for sponsorship is KShs. 3000/- per month With the cost of living going up the challenge we are facing is to sustain this program which benefits a lot of students from poor families and marginalized community. Most of these sponsored students excel in their classes because of the assistance. We are appealing for more sponsors and donations. Local Maasai boys studying at the Institute. NEW DEVELOPMENT & PROJECTS TEACHERS QUARTERS Six units are now complete and the teachers are well settled. The two bed roomed quarter is provided with electricity and piped water in a serene environment and this will impact positively on the standard of education as we envisage a contented teacher will impart his knowledge positively to the students.
