Direct Aid (Africa Muslims Committee) started its work in 1981 as a voluntarily non-governmental institution interested in the development in the neediest places in Africa. It conducts its work in a scientific way and does not look into the individual conditions. It pays attention to the education with all its types as a basic means to change the miserable situation the man suffered in Africa, raising the slogan (education is a legal right for every child in Africa).

Families in need

The campaign (Revive 100 Villages) aims to revive 100 entire villages (for people - crops - animals) through the implementation of several integrated projects, starting with the provision of clean water, livestock breeding, agriculture and grain milling, in addition to economic projects that generate sustainable income for them, as well as health, medical and educational projects.
The campaign will be implemented in 25 African countries through integrated projects. The projects will benefit 650,000 people, including artesian wells, educational and health facilities, agricultural projects, economic empowerment, and support services. All projects are eligible for zakat contributions and will contribute to Direct Aid's vision of empowering African communities. Donations are available from 1 Kuwaiti Dinar to any amount.

Relieve the severe earthquake-affected

The Prophet (PBUH) said “The son of Adam does not do any deed on the day of sacrifice that is dearer to Allah than shedding blood. It will come on the day of resurrection with its horns and cloven hoofs and hair. Its blood is accepted by Allah before it reaches the ground. So be content when you do it.” (Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah) We slaughter animals based on the type of sacrifice available in the country (goats, cows or sheep), and we distribute it to the poorest communities in Africa.

Certifying the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying, "Whoever breaks the fast of a fasting person has the same reward as him, but he does not detract from the reward of the fasting person."

Many poor families in Africa especially new Muslim families are in need of teaching their children the Holy Qur’an to make sure their children’s prayers (Salat) are correctly performed. As well as, they can get to know the beautiful meaning of the Qur’an in order to have a reflection on their lives.

Health

Africa records the lowest number of medical staff globally. It has 1.3 doctors per 1000 people on average, while according to the SDG the reasonable number is 4.5 doctors per 1000 people.  

In Directaid, we always plan to intensively increase the medical convoys with all specialities in order for providing all medical services to the poor families in Africa to meet their critical health needs.  

The medical convoys include: 

Medical examinations and diagnostics 

Covering the shortage of some specialities in health centres 

Providing medicine for free  

Awareness speech to stop diseases and epidemics widespread. 

"Your continued contribution increases and evolves medical convoys in the poor and remote areas in Africa"

Medical Convoys

The African continent has more than 60% of the fertile agricultural lands in the world, and agricultural projects absorb a lot of the workforce in Africa, where 70% of the continent’s population works in agriculture. However, spending on agricultural activities in African countries is still low, it is not exceeding 25% of the annual budgets of many African countries. 

So, DirectAid gives much attention to agricultural projects by producing different types of grains such as vegetables and fruits for the DirctAid’s orphanages as well as the poor and remote villages, where the number of orphans is more than 22,000orphans. 

“Your continued contribution improves the orphans’ lives in poor African societies and provides them healthy nutrition”

Farm

The Muslim communities in Africa suffer from a severe lack of water due to the desert nature of the country, and people have to take a long journey to get water. In Direct-aid we aim to ease the way for the poor families through well drilling in their areas and make access to water much easier.

The well is drilled to the water level below the rocky layer to a depth that may be from 30 to 80 meters, and it is provided with a manual pump for pulling the water up.

The Prophet (PBUH) said “The son of Adam does not do any deed on the day of sacrifice that is dearer to Allah than shedding blood. It will come on the day of resurrection with its horns and cloven hoofs and hair. Its blood is accepted by Allah before it reaches the ground. So be content when you do it.” (Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)


We slaughter animals based on the type of sacrifice available in the country (goats, cows or sheep), and we distribute it to the poorest communities in Africa.
