Gambia Student Hardship Grants

Empowering Future Leaders - Gambia University Students Hardship Grant

Transform Lives This Ramadan
Through the Gift of Knowledge

In Islam, the pursuit of knowledge is a noble path, one that opens doors to enlightenment, dignity, self-reliance, and social upliftment.

The Gambia University Student Hardship Grant seeks to empower financially struggling students with a background in Islamic education who are now pursuing university degrees to better serve their communities.

Your donation, delivered as financial aid, will enable dedicated students from Islamic institutions in The Gambia to pursue further qualifications, becoming tomorrow's leaders in fields such as medicine, engineering, and law.

A Sustainable Investment in Knowledge

This grant is more than immediate financial relief; it's an investment in sustainable, long-term impact. As these students advance in fields like medicine, engineering, and law, they become catalysts for change, contributing to a self-sufficient and prosperous society. Your support equips them with the education they need to secure stable, well-paid jobs, uplifting their families and transforming their communities for generations. 

Sadaqatul Jaariyah: Rewards that Endure 

By contributing to this grant, you are partaking in Sadaqatul Jaariyah, an ongoing charity that brings continuous rewards. Every step these students take in their careers, every positive change they bring to society, is a source of ongoing blessings for you, inshaa’Allah.
