Help Build a Brighter Future: A Bilingual Islamic School in The Gambia

Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. It is the most powerful tool we can offer the next generation to uplift themselves, their families, and their communities. Today, we invite you to be part of something truly transformational—a Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity) project that will provide quality education, both Islamic and conventional, to children in The Gambia.

The Vision: A Standard-Setting Bilingual Islamic School

Inspired by the excellence of Crystal Gardens in Bradford, UK, we are building a new bilingual Islamic early and primary school in The Gambia that will set new standards of education. This school will not only focus on a strong Islamic foundation but will also provide high-quality conventional education, equipping students to compete on an international level. We believe that faith and knowledge go hand in hand, and this school will nurture young minds to be successful both in this life and the hereafter.

How This School Will Change Lives

A Solid Educational Foundation – Students will be prepared for both Islamic and conventional studies, ensuring they can excel in their faith and future careers.

Breaking the Cycle of Poverty – Education is the most sustainable way to fight poverty, giving children the tools they need to succeed.

Open to All – While it will be a private school, scholarships will be provided for underprivileged children, ensuring that those who need it most are not left behind.

A Self-Sustaining Model – All proceeds from the school will be reinvested into HMD Charity’s other humanitarian efforts, such as:

-Education Programs

- Feeding programs for the less previlge

- Community water projects

- Shelter projects for those in need

- Empowerment initiatives for widows and the less fortunate

A Sadaqah Jariyah Like No Other

Every penny you donate is an investment in generations to come. The impact of your generosity will not stop with one child or one school year—it will continue for decades. Your support will help children grow into educated, empowered, and productive members of society, strengthening communities and bringing lasting change.

✅ Donate – Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to making this dream a reality.
