3. Who are we?
 We are small and relatively new charity, having registered formally
with the Charities Commission in March 2012;
 We are also registered with the FRSB, which
monitors the fundraising activities of charities and
oversees complaints.
 Give in confidence means you can donate knowing
that your funds will not be misused.
 100% donations means just that!

4. Where do we work?
 We work exclusively in the region of Africa known as
the ‘Spice Islands,’ which is a cluster of Islands
which were rich with cloves and other spices which
made it a hotspot for traders, but it also was sadly a
the makkah of slave trade;
More specifically we work on the Island of
Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania and
Darus-Salaam. We have projects in
Bumbwini, Kizimkazi, Zingwezingwe and
smaller islands like Pemba.

5. Our products
 We have number of unique products:
 Zakah Giving is a concept that we take seriously
and ensure that rules of shar’iah are complied
(e.g., zakah is not used for building mosques or
madrasah’s)
 Payroll Giving is scheme that we run allowing
people to give via their pay slips consistently
each month. HMRC then contributes a
percentage increasing value of contribution.

6. Orphan Focus
 We run a very successful Orphan & Group Sponsorship
Group Sponsorship Programme;
 With £20 per month from we can feed, cloth and
educate an orphan and we set aside a % towards their
health;

7. Our Inspiration
 We were inspired by what we were able to achieve with
our first project with so little money.
 Personal anecdote – Al-qadah wal qadar

8. Our Activities since March 2012
 We launched our website www.al-ansarifoundation.org and
facebook.
 During Ramadhan, we distributed food to over 4,500 poor and
orphan families in some of the poorest islands in Zanzibar, attracting
commentary and coverage on national radio and television.
 We have gained a significant number of orphan sponsor who will help
to educate, feed, support orphans.
 We have raised over £16,000 to build a school/madrasah for orphan
children in Bumbwini Bay who currently learn under a tree shelter.
 We completed the Kizimkazi madrasah build within 2 months with
the help of generous donors like Tooting sisters circle.

madrasah for 140 children, who had endured patiently
under harsh conditions, for 7 years waiting for you and I
to make difference.

of the madrasah, who are indebted to you for your
efforts during the blessed month of Ramadhan.
