About this appeal
Help a Ugandan community build a large masjid for 250+ worshippers, a centre for daily prayers and Qur'an classes for people of all ages. You can sponsor the whole building for £7,300, fund half for £3,650, or give £2,400 towards the foundation.
By contributing to the construction of this masjid, you are not only helping to build a house of worship, but you are also creating a community hub for spiritual growth, unity, and learning.
How Your Donation Helps:
- £2,400 Contribute to the foundation of the masjid.
- £3,650 Fund half of the masjid’s construction.
- £7,300 Fully sponsor the building of the entire masjid.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring this vital project closer to completion. Your support will leave a lasting legacy for Uganda, providing a sanctuary for prayer, learning, and community togetherness.
Is building a masjid considered Sadaqah Jariyah?
Yes, building a masjid is considered Sadaqah Jariyah because it provides ongoing benefits to the community. Every prayer, Quran class, and act of worship performed within the masjid continues to bring rewards to the donor, even after they have passed away. This lasting impact makes it one of the most rewarding forms of charity in Islam.Sadaqah Jariyah, often referred to as "continuous charity," is an act of giving that provides ongoing benefits to others and rewards to the donor. Unlike regular Sadaqah, which is a one-time act of charity, Sadaqah Jariyah continues to benefit others and generates spiritual rewards for the giver for as long as the charity continues to be of service.

Questions
What are the approximate dimensions of the mosque?
The planned mosque will be 30 feet by 35 feet, offering ample space for prayer and community gatherings. It can accommodate 250+ people, including the use of outdoor facilities.
Who will manage the mosque after it is built?
After completion, a member of the local community will be allocated to manage the mosque. It will serve as a place for prayer, Jummah gatherings, religious education, and community events. Our team conducts regular checks, and if any maintenance is required, General funds may be used to support repairs.
How long does it take to build the mosque?
Our dedicated construction team has completed dozens of projects in Uganda, ensuring a fast and efficient process. The masjid will be completed within 6 months of your donation.
What is included when I donate for a full mosque?
A full mosque donation covers:
- Internal finishes
- External finishes
- Windows and doors
- Painting
- Carpets
- Toilet/ Wudu facilities
Will my name be displayed on a plaque in the mosque?
Yes, if you donate for a full mosque, a permanent plaque with your name will be placed near the main entrance of the mosque.
If you contribute towards the mosque but do not fund the full cost, once the required amount is reached through multiple small donations, the mosque will be named Fael Khair, meaning "Person of Good." A video of the completed mosque will be shared on our social media platforms and YouTube channel.
How will my donation be used for the masjid project?
Your donation will directly fund the construction and development of the masjid, which will serve as a space for daily prayers, Quran classes, and community activities. Each donation helps bring this vital project to life and strengthens the community it serves.
Will I receive updates on the progress of the masjid?
Donors who contribute the full amount needed to build the masjid will receive personalised video updates, with the masjid completed within 6 months of your donation and a final report once it is finished. While smaller donations are appreciated, they do not include personalised updates.
Can I dedicate my donation in someone's name?
Yes, but only donors who fully fund the entire masjid can have a name or multiple names engraved on a plaque within the masjid. This is a special way to commemorate your generous contribution to this important cause.
Is there a minimum amount I need to donate?
There is no minimum donation, and every contribution makes a difference. However, only those who donate the full amount required to fund the masjid will receive personalised updates and the opportunity to add a name to the masjid plaque.
What happens with my small contribution?
Small donations help us reach the full amount needed to build a masjid. Once reached, Global Helping Hands will build the masjid under the name "Fael Khair," symbolising contributions from many donors like you.
Can I help if I can’t fund a full masjid?
Yes! You can create a fundraising page on our website and invite friends and family to contribute. Visit Start Fundraising to get started.
What does "Fael Khair" mean?
"Fael Khair" means "doer of good" and is the name given to masjids built through collective donations, representing the kindness and unity of all contributors.
Will I be recognised for my small donation?
While only full donors have names engraved, "Fael Khair" masjids represent the combined efforts of many, including your generous contribution.
