WIPAHS (World Islamic Propagation and Humanitarian Services) is an independent non governmental organization (NGO), registered as a charitable humanitarian trust in Tanzania.

History

In the month of Ramadhan 1984, a group of friends got together with the sole purpose of improving the well-being of the local community.[1]

This group of friends began work by distributing Islamic books, Qur'ans and learning aids to local schools and Madrasahs. The local population lived in poverty and access to many areas proved difficult. It was also very difficult for the local people to have access to clean water.

This observation inspired the idea of digging wells in remote areas, especially near mosques, Madrasahs, schools, and populated villages.

The members were also forced to review their activities and decided to give special attention to the aspect of education and women. This led to the initiation of the Wali Ul Asr Education Centre (WEC).

Objectives

  • Propagating the message of peace through the teachings of Islam.
  • Eradicating Poverty through education.
  • Helping to fight diseases and malnutrition through "Give Water to the Thirsty Projects"
  • Economic upliftment of the under-privileged through sponsoring and initiating economic programmes, thus creating self-sustaining individuals in the country.[1]
