Our Story

KNOW ABOUT US

OVER 120 YEARS OF HELPING THE COMMUNITY.

We strive for equality, peace, justice and compassion while respecting each other’s strengths and talents, and respectively, accepting one another’s weaknesses and differences, and giving each ample opportunity to reach their greatest potential.

It all started with one purpose; to look after the welfare of the poor, underprivileged, and orphaned Muslims in Singapore.
