AL-AMAL RWANDA
HELP ONE ANOTHER TO VIRTUE AND GOD- CONSCIOUSNESS
Our Beginnings
Islamic Actions for Development (I.A.D)/Al-Amal was established in 2012 as a response to the observed challenges in delivering quality medical assistance through programs which demonstrated community participation and collaborative partnerships, and a sensitivity of local culture intends to be one of the biggest players to solve some of the above mentioned problems within Islamic community in particular and Rwandan society in general with an emphasis on voluntarism, transparency, efficient work, integrity, team spirit and discipline.
Al Amal have so far supported about 6000 health insurances contributed by its members and these insurances have been transferred to the beneficiaries from Nyarugenge, Kicukiro, Gasabo Kamonyi, Nyamagabe and Gakenke districts.
What we do
Our work has taken us to the different corners of Rwanda and covered a number of different projects. One of our overriding themes has been to try, wherever possible to update the public about what is doing, just to elicit donor confidence and assurance, which ultimately might translates in to a rise in donations.
Al Amal Rwanda’s role in serving communities in need has been to bring in extra resources, be that funding, knowledge sharing, human resources, equipment, management skills, or education and training. In fact we will match our capacity and skills to what is felt to be most important and needed on the ground. Inevitably in development work this means taking time to build relationships with people and organizations, understanding their needs and difficulties, what they are doing well.
