Build a Mosque

Across underserved communities, mosques are more than places of worship — they are centres of learning, unity, and hope. Your support helps build safe, lasting masjids where faith and community can flourish together.

Strengthen a Community with Mosque

Many rural communities lack safe spaces for prayer and learning. African Relief Fund builds masjids with local communities to provide lasting centres for worship, education, and unity for generations to come.

Our Mosque Projects Focus on:

  • Faith & Worship: Safe, accessible spaces for daily prayers and religious gatherings.
  • Education & Learning: Quranic learning and community education for children and adults.
  • Community Unity: A central hub that strengthens social bonds and collective wellbeing.

Sara Jabel Masjid & Community Centre – A Lasting Impact

Sara Jabel is a small farming village in Northern Gambia. ARF had supported the community through development projects for several years before villagers approached us in 2021 with a request to build a masjid and community centre. With the support of generous UK donors, the project was completed successfully.

 

Today, the Sara Jabel Masjid:

  • Serves as a place of worship for multiple surrounding villages.
  • Provides religious and educational learning for children and adults.
  • Acts as a central space for community meetings and units.
