02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The main activity of the Charity is to manage teaching Arabic language. The classes are for children between 5 and 14 years old. We have about 130 children in our classes. We only teach in the weekend. In addition, we have the mosque that serves Muslims prayers (5 times a day and Friday Prayer). We also celebrate Eid in the building along with serving free food in Ramadan to students and poor people. Moreover, we use our building for social activities and different minority groups (Arab, Turkish, Bangladeshi, etc. can benefit from the facilities of the building.
