Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund Grant |
|
The KSIMC of London (Stanmore Jamaat) has been awarded £29,775 grant from the Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund. There were 1,200 applications and only 343 organisations were successful. The Jamaat had applied for £29,775 and has been offered the full amount.
The entire project was undertaken by Sister Sabira Murtaza Lakha, and the Jamaat expressed its deep appreciation for her tireless efforts and zeal in pushing this project forward. “Sister Sabira has done a tremendous job and I cannot thank her enough. She is an asset to our Community” said the Vice-President Shabir Mamdani.
In applying for the large grant, projects were identified that would not only benefit Stanmore Jamaat but that they would also assist to build capacity within other Jamaats, to ensure parallel growth across the European Jamaats. Such inter-Jamaat projects will strengthen the bond of togetherness, as one European Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri community flourishing in synchrony.
Stanmore Jamaat is looking forward to working with the other European Jamaats for at least six of its following ten projects:
- Media Training Course
- Public Speaking and Communication Course
- English and Computer Training Course for Ladies
- Community Website
- Mentoring Scheme for chairladies
- Boys Interfaith Sporting Afternoon
- Girls Interfaith Sporting Afternoon
- Interfaith Facilitation Course
- Identifying and Preventing Extremism Project
- Training for Engaging with the Local Government
