Ummat Ki Khidmat Foundation
عن المؤسسة· About us

We carry one belief: no Muslim child should miss
college because of money.

Ummat Ki Khidmat Foundation began in 2020 with a single Zakat-funded scholarship and a promise. Today, that promise has carried 300+ students across 7 districts of Maharashtra into careers as doctors, engineers, teachers, and social workers.

Mission

Break the financial wall between Muslim students and higher education through transparent, Zakat-compliant scholarships.

Vision

A community where every gifted Muslim student — regardless of family income — has the opportunity to study, lead and serve.

Values

Niyyah, transparency, dignity and a commitment to Sharia-compliant fundraising and disbursement of every rupee.
