The Zakat Foundation of America

Zakat Foundation has once again been successful in accomplishing their goal of providing safe and stable places of worship for Muslim communities around the world through our Development/Sadaqa Jariyah Program.

The Dr. Wafaa Suwari Mosque was constructed and completed over the summer of 2009 in Salina Songo, Sierra Leone. The village populace, including the local imams and village elders, attended the opening of the new mosque, and received Zakat Foundation’s donation with so much gratitude and respect toward the organization in a way that defied even those descriptions.

Zakat Foundation representative Dr. Mohamed Abdo, who presented the village with the donation, stated that “They appreciated the mere fact that I was bringing them something that they have always dreamt of, and the fact that it was brought in by myself and donated by somebody else who may never have the chance to meet them face to face in their lifetime.”
