  Education Waqf
Education provides the key to a better future, helping people to fulfil their potential and pursue their goals in life. However, for millions of people across the developing world even basic education is simply out of reach.

Our Education Waqf programme aims to provide impoverished people and communities with access to education or training - providing a way out of the poverty trap. By working directly with local communities we can ensure that our educational projects are relevant to their needs.

Fatima is a  housewife  with a  grown  up family. She found out about the Waqf Future Fund from the  Islamic  Relief website. She  applied  for an information pack which persuaded her to participate in the Education Waqf fund. Fatima decided to purchase two shares and opted to pay by the instalment method. She completed a standing order form which allowed her to make affordable monthly instalments of £89 for a period of 20 months. After  the  first  10 months, she received the first Waqf deed, and after the final 10 months she received the other.
