Our History
Al Ummah Foundation was formed by a group of school friends who have been together for over thirty years. What started off as a brief conversation bordering on fantasy following a reunion dinner and sharing of ideas, quickly progressed to: establishing a vision, a group of board members, team meetings, loyal supporters donors and our first charitable project – the sponsoring of an orphan who was keen to study but needed financial support to continue with confidence. This was priceless and gave us the knowledge and confidence that we can play our part and reach out to many more people by the grace of the Almighty.
