Our Journey

Since 2014, Al-Wahab Foundation (AWF) has developed into a multifaceted organization, we have provided clean water to over 200,000 people, provided fresh meals and food packs to thousands more. We take great pride in our sustainable development projects too, which pull people out of poverty in the long term by making them independent, with means to generate their own income. We are dedicated to serving people on the grassroot levels, tackling larger issues of injustice and bringing long term positive change.
ABOUT
AL-WAHAB
FOUNDATION
AWF (previously Ummah Charity International) has been creating networks of care and relief since 2014. Our chairperson Mufti Abdul Wahab saw first hand the devastation that natural disasters cause in already underdeveloped countries and decided to create an organization which extends a hand of support to people in such communities.
