As-Sadiq Foundation Charity Walk
The World Federation is delighted to partake in this year’s As-Sadiq Foundation Charity Walk. Both the Executive Council meeting and the Charity Walk aim to build a more vibrant and secure future for our communities across the world. This Fourth Annual event aims to raise funds for As-Sadiq Islamic School’s Foundation Fund to guarantee the continual operation and future development of the school.
As-Sadiq Islamic School is a unique community resource dedicated to creating our future leaders by delivering on its promise of a Superlative Education with an Islamic Perspective.
Alhamdulillah, the School is in its twelfth year of operation. With 185 students enrolled, they are only 24 students away from achieving the break-even point. The Board of Trustees is ready for long-term planning, based on the confidence of an assured financial position.
The vision of the Board and its founding members has always been to start a secondary school from grade nine to twelve. With a strong Foundation Fund in place and the support of the community, this vision is reachable. The success of the school and its students are keys to continuously improving and strengthening our community.
The World Federation congratulates the Board, staff, students and parents of As-Sadiq Islamic School for their united achievements and prays to the Almighty, through the Wasilah of our Fourteen Masumeen (as) for their continued success, strength and determination in their aim to nurture and educate our children in the path of our Creator.
