Legacy through Bequests

Considering leaving a lasting impact? A bequest in your will or trust offers a meaningful way to support our mission. It's a flexible and widely embraced method to ensure your values and commitment endure, shaping a better future for generations to come.

Charitable trusts

By establishing a charitable trust, you can transform your assets into a perpetual source of support. Whether it's providing income for life or a specified term, your generosity not only benefits you but also strengthens our ability to serve those in need.

Our Success Stories

In a rural village where access to quality education was limited, the Sahaba Initiative's Waqf program stepped in to make a transformative impact. Through the establishment of an educational waqf, generous donors contributed to the construction of a new school building, equipped with modern facilities and resources. As a result, children who previously had to travel long distances to attend school now have a safe and conducive learning environment right in their own community. This initiative not only improves educational outcomes but also empowers future generations to pursue their dreams and become leaders in their communities.
"Empowering Education for Future Leaders"
In an urban neighborhood grappling with limited healthcare resources, the Sahaba Initiative's Waqf program played a crucial role in ensuring access to essential medical services. Through the creation of a healthcare waqf, donors provided funding to establish a community health clinic staffed with skilled healthcare professionals. This clinic offers a range of services, including preventive care, medical consultations, and basic treatments, catering primarily to low-income families and marginalized individuals. By addressing healthcare disparities and promoting wellness within the community, this initiative embodies the spirit of compassion and solidarity upheld by the Sahaba Initiative's Waqf program.
