The founding board of Al Waasi charity foundation saw a need to give and reach out to the increasing and less privileged community. In Uganda, many citizens both adults and children are faced with challenges of life today. These challenges mainly range from financial, physical and emotional. These challenges were the driving factor that led to establishment of Al Waasi charity foundation and they have been the very factors that have continuously driven the purpose and cause of Al Waasi charity foundation. The research carried out before the establishment of A Waasi charity foundation showed that many communities in Uganda live in poverty with less than 1 US $ a day rendering them to lack in basic needs such as food, shelter, medication, education and materials such as clothing and beddings.
This was further more experienced among many communities who reached to our founders with lack of Islamic materials and places. The charity has on many occasions tried to reach out to the members with urgent needs. This involves travelling to meet and solve the raised concerns from the vulnerable community. Al Waasi charity organization maybe a founded organization but when it comes to rendering help, offering charity, and carrying out its duties, there is no segregation in religion, race and tribe. This is because Allah created us as one race and that is the human race.
Secondly, Al Waasi services don’t segregate religions and races because one its background religion ISLAM is a religion of peace and unity. It calls for oneness in the community and love for all brothers and sisters. Al waasi Muslim charity organization has on many occasions reached out all an inclusive program to all people in the society. This has greatly changed the course of many people’s lives in the community. Being a charity organization, Al waasi is neither a profit making nor an investment organization. Therefore most of its resources come from donors and philanthropists and members of the organization. This is the noble reason which gives hope to the organization that once we come together we can change the world and many lives of people.
