"We Promised, We fulfilled our Promise and Allah is our Witness"
After praising Allah and sending salutation to our beloved prophet Muhammad, we would like to firstly thank Allah for giving us the ability and the power to be able to reach where we are today. Secondly, we would like to thank all the donors as well as our supporters who have supported and trusted us for all these years. Since we started this Foundation in 1998 until today our mission statement is clear and the same:
“We promised, we fulfilled our promise and Allah is our witness”
We strive to keep our promises and build a relationship with people based on trust. That was the characteristic of our Prophet so much so that he was nicknamed “The Truthful, The Trustworthy”. Even non-Muslims trusted the Prophet. Only by truthfulness and trust, we will be successful because of our faith in Allah and the belief that He hears and witnesses every action.
The Islamic Foundation cannot be successful by itself; it was because of the Donors and Volunteers nationally and internationally, as a result Muslims today in Tanzania are able to have a VOICE.

CONCLUSION
The Islamic Foundation Programs and Services encourage children schooling and families’ betterment. By focusing on education and family, they build sustainable, long-term growth instead of providing a temporary fix to problems. In responding to emergencies and crises, when the most vulnerable lack access to basic necessities like food, shelter, and health care, humanitarian aid brings relief in times of need.
The foundation helps in service based on need, with the goal of saving many lives, soothing human suffering, and maintaining human dignity. Emergency aid provides relief and comfort to victims who are unable to deal on their own with the immediate problem—food, medical aid, shelter, etc. The work under the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to create a world where no one is left behind and everyone can live with dignity and opportunity.
To fulfill this collective global promise by 2030, the Foundation believes that we must put a special focus on meeting the needs of people who have lost so much.
