About Al-Baraka Foundation

Rooted in Islamic values of compassion, dignity, and continuous charity, we deliver sustainable solutions to communities across Sierra Leone.

Our Mission

To deliver sustainable, life-changing support to vulnerable communities in Sierra Leone through practical solutions that address essential human needs. We focus on water access, mosque construction, Islamic education, and community welfare while upholding the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

Our Vision

A Sierra Leone where every community has access to clean water, places of worship, quality Islamic education, and the support needed to thrive. We envision empowered communities that sustain and build upon the projects we help establish, creating lasting positive change for generations to come.

Our Story

Founded on Faith, Driven by Purpose

Al-Baraka Foundation was established with a clear purpose: to channel the spirit of Islamic charity into practical, sustainable projects that transform lives. Based in Sierra Leone, we recognized the urgent needs facing many communities—from lack of clean water to the absence of proper places of worship and education.

Our founders, driven by the Islamic principle of Ṣadaqah Jāriyah (continuous charity), set out to create an organization that doesn't just provide temporary relief but builds lasting infrastructure and capabilities. Every borehole we drill, every mosque we construct, and every educational program we support is designed to serve communities for years to come.

Today, Al-Baraka Foundation works closely with local communities, religious leaders, and international donors to ensure every project is sustainable, well-maintained, and delivers lasting benefit. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and the responsible stewardship of Zakat, Sadaqah, and all charitable funds entrusted to us.
