Masjid Oke Odo Close – Solar System and Water Well Project
Location: Oke Odo Close, Apete, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria
Background
For many families in the community around Masjid Oke Odo Close, access to two everyday essentials – electricity and water – has been a persistent challenge. With rising living costs adding to the pressure on households, limited water supplies and unreliable electricity have made daily life increasingly difficult. The masjid also lacked the facilities needed to better support its congregation and the wider community.
The Need
Reliable electricity and access to clean water are essential for everyday life. The masjid needed improved facilities to support its daily activities, while the wider community needed a more accessible and dependable source of water.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust funded and delivered 100% of this project, covering the work from start to finish. This included the installation of a new solar power system at the masjid and the construction of a new water well to serve the surrounding community.
The Outcome
The new solar system provides a more reliable source of electricity, improving the masjid’s facilities and supporting its daily activities. The newly constructed water well offers the community an important local water source, helping to ease the difficulties caused by water shortages.
Together, these improvements provide practical, lasting support for the masjid and the people it serves, addressing two essential needs within the community.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity made this project possible. May Allah reward them abundantly and make these facilities a continuing source of benefit and Sadaqah Jariyah. Ameen.

Masjid Sohaba – Solar Power, Sound System and Storage Facility
Location: Oke Odo, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria
Background
A masjid is more than a place of prayer; it is at the heart of a community, bringing people together through worship, learning and shared faith. For the worshippers at Masjid Sohaba in Oke Odo, Ilorin, maintaining these essential facilities had become increasingly challenging. With rising living costs placing pressure on local families, limited resources made it difficult to carry out much-needed improvements to the masjid.
The Need
An unreliable electricity supply affected the masjid’s ability to maintain its facilities, while an ageing sound system made it difficult for the Adhan (call to prayer) to be heard clearly across the surrounding neighbourhood. There was also a need for suitable storage to protect essential solar equipment and ensure its long-term use.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust funded and delivered 100% of this project, supporting the improvements from start to finish. This included:
- New solar power system: Installed to provide a more reliable and sustainable source of electricity.
- New sound system: Supplied to improve the clarity of the Adhan and announcements, helping the call to prayer reach the wider community.
- New storage facility: Constructed to securely house and protect the solar equipment, including batteries and associated components.
The Outcome
The improvements have strengthened the masjid’s facilities and its ability to serve the local community. Worshippers now benefit from a more reliable electricity supply, clearer sound for the Adhan and a dedicated storage facility to protect the solar installation.
These improvements will support the masjid’s daily activities, helping it remain a welcoming place for prayer, Islamic learning and community gatherings. The benefits extend beyond the building itself, supporting the worshippers and families who rely on the masjid as an important part of everyday community life.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity made this project possible. May Allah accept their contributions, reward them abundantly and make every prayer, every Adhan and every gathering a source of ongoing benefit and Sadaqah Jariyah for them. Ameen.

Qur’an and Juz Distribution – Karantaba Village
Location: Karantaba Village
Background
For the children of Karantaba Village, the madrasah is an important place of learning, where they come together to study the Holy Qur’an and deepen their understanding of Islam. Many of these young students aspire to become Huffaz, dedicating themselves to memorising the words of Allah. However, limited learning resources had made this journey more challenging, with children often having to share copies of the Qur’an and individual Juz during their lessons.
The Need
Access to the Holy Qur’an and individual Juz is essential for children to develop their recitation, practise independently and progress with their memorisation. The madrasah needed additional copies so that every child could follow lessons more effectively and continue their learning both in class and at home.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust supported the distribution of new copies of the Holy Qur’an and selected Juz to the children and madrasah in Karantaba Village, providing essential learning resources to support their Islamic education.
The Outcome
The new Qur’ans and Juz have helped create a more supportive learning environment. Children can now follow lessons using their own copies, practise their recitation independently and revise their memorisation at home.
Teachers are also better equipped to deliver lessons, helping students develop their knowledge, confidence and understanding of the Holy Qur’an.
These resources represent more than books; they are an investment in the children’s Islamic education and the future of the wider community. Every lesson, every verse recited and every step towards memorisation provides an opportunity for lasting benefit.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity helped make this initiative possible. May Allah reward them abundantly and make every verse read, every page memorised and every lesson taught a source of ongoing reward and Sadaqah Jariyah. Ameen.

Qur’an and Juz Distribution – Sankya Village
Location: Sankya Village
Background
For many children in Sankya Village, the madrasah is where their journey with the Holy Qur’an begins. It is a place where young learners come together to develop their recitation, strengthen their understanding of Islam and build a lifelong connection with the words of Allah. However, the madrasah was struggling to meet the needs of its growing number of students, with a shortage of learning materials making lessons increasingly difficult to deliver.
The Need
The madrasah had very few Qur’ans and individual Juz available. Many of the existing copies were old, worn and damaged, leaving children having to share limited resources. Teachers often relied on traditional wooden writing boards, manually preparing verses for each lesson. While this approach supported learning, it was time-consuming and limited the time available for reading, recitation and memorisation.
Additional learning resources were urgently needed to support the teachers and provide more children with the opportunity to attend classes.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust supported the distribution of new copies of the Holy Qur’an and individual Juz to the madrasah, ensuring that students across its classrooms had access to the essential materials needed for their Islamic education.
The Outcome
The provision of new Qur’ans and Juz has made a significant difference to the madrasah, helping it accommodate approximately 80 children.
Teachers can now deliver lessons more efficiently, while students are able to follow their studies directly from the new books rather than relying on shared or damaged copies. This has created a more positive learning environment, allowing children to spend more time reading, reciting and memorising the Holy Qur’an.
The impact extends beyond the classroom. More children now have the opportunity to access Islamic education, develop their knowledge and pursue their aspirations of becoming knowledgeable Muslims and, in shaa Allah, future Huffaz of the Holy Qur’an.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity has helped transform the learning environment for these children. May Allah reward them abundantly and make every page read, every verse recited and every child who benefits from these resources a source of ongoing reward and Sadaqah Jariyah. Ameen.

Qur’an Distribution – Karantaba Village
Location: Karantaba Village
Background
For the children of Karantaba Village, learning the Holy Qur’an is an important part of growing in faith and developing a lifelong connection with Islam. At the local madrasah, children gather each day to learn, recite and memorise the words of Allah. However, limited access to learning materials meant that many students had to share copies of the Qur’an, making it difficult to practise independently and continue their studies at home.
The Need
Every child should have the opportunity to learn from their own copy of the Holy Qur’an. The shortage of Qur’ans at the madrasah restricted students’ ability to follow lessons, practise their recitation and revise independently. Additional copies were needed to support their Islamic education both inside and outside the classroom.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust supported the distribution of new copies of the Holy Qur’an to children in Karantaba Village, providing students with their own books to support their learning and spiritual development.
The Outcome
The distribution has given children greater access to the Holy Qur’an and the opportunity to take a more active role in their studies. With their own copies, students can now follow lessons more easily, practise their recitation and revise at home, helping them develop confidence and consistency in their learning.
These Qur’ans will continue to support the children’s Islamic education, nurturing their understanding of the faith and helping them build a lasting connection with the words of Allah.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity made this initiative possible. May Allah reward them abundantly and make every letter recited, every verse memorised and every lesson learned a source of ongoing reward and Sadaqah Jariyah. Ameen.

Qur’an Juz Distribution – Kani Kunda Village
Location: Kani Kunda Village
Background
For the children of Kani Kunda Village, memorising the Holy Qur’an is a journey of faith, dedication and perseverance. Every day, young students gather at the local madrasah to learn and recite the words of Allah, with many aspiring to become Huffaz of the Holy Qur’an. However, having access to the right learning materials is essential to helping them progress through their memorisation and develop a lasting connection with the Qur’an.
The Need
Memorising the Holy Qur’an requires regular practice, repetition and consistent revision. Individual Juz provide an important resource for students as they work towards memorising all thirty parts of the Qur’an. Providing children with their own copies would allow them to practise during lessons and continue their studies at home, supporting their progress and confidence.
Our Contribution
Ibrahim Trust supported the distribution of individual Juz to children in Kani Kunda Village, providing essential resources to help them with their Qur’an memorisation.
The Juz distributed included:
- Yaseen (Yas)
- Qad Sami’ Allah
- Sami’ Allah
- Tabarak
- ‘Amma (Juz 30)
The Outcome
The distribution has provided children with valuable learning materials to support their memorisation and regular recitation. With their own copies, students can now practise more consistently, follow lessons with their teachers and revise independently at home.
These resources will help young learners strengthen their memorisation, develop confidence in their recitation and continue working towards their aspiration of becoming Huffaz of the Holy Qur’an.
Beyond the immediate benefit of providing learning materials, this initiative represents an investment in the next generation of Qur’an memorizers, helping to nurture Islamic knowledge that can be carried forward and shared within families and the wider community.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors whose generosity made this initiative possible. May Allah accept the efforts of these young students, bless their learning and grant them the honour of becoming Huffaz. May every verse recited and every Juz memorised become a source of ongoing reward and Sadaqah Jariyah for all those who contributed. Ameen.
