We have helped members and non- members with flexible interest-free loans in their times of need or even gift them when appropriate. Summer family conference in August 2023 at Condover halls, which brings people together across UK, for both members and non-members. This afforded them the opportunity to socialise, and also network, aside providing spiritual education nourishment that we need on a regular basis. We launched an outreach – Sadaqah Network to provide vital assistance to the impoverished and indigent masses in Africa, Britain, and around the globe. With a particular emphasis on Africa, we strive to alleviate poverty, promote sustainable development, and empower communities for a better future. Focus areas include poverty alleviation, education &empowerment, Health & wellbeing, Water & sanitation and Emergency relief.
