Al-Ansaar Islamic Foundation

We have mainly following ongoing programs:- (1) We have established and are maintaining a religious school of instructions and worship (Al-Ansaar Islamic Center) by purchasing a place at 3670-63rd Avenue NE Calgary AB T3J 0S4 (Unit 120) and renting one other unit in same premises. All expenses are met with donations. (2) We are helping poor to provide them basic necessities of life i.e. Food hampers and cash distribution. This activity is still very limited depending on availability of 'Zakat' donations. Some of it ($100 per family quarterly) is transmitted abroad to about 40 families of widows/ orphans directly to their bank account. In future we are looking to work on the following programs:- (1) Establishing and maintaining more schools of instructions worship and learning especially in NE Calgary Corner Stone area having big population of Muslims there (2) Enhancement to relieve poverty either by providing basic necessities of life to poor or helping them financially to establish a small business (3) More efforts for fund raising campaigns.
