| Muslims make up India's largest religious
minority. However, a recent study found that Muslims comprise only
5% of employees in India's big government. Indian Muslims are also
largely illiterate and poor, and in need of basic Islamic education
in many parts. The recent trend of political bias against the Muslim
community, has done them no favour. The plight of Indian Muslims is
strongly related to the appalling quality of governance, unequal
social order and lack of equality of opportunity in northern India
where most of the community lives. Natural disasters have also
played a part in the degeneration of Muslims. As a result of the
recent floods in India, some 20 Million people in the states of
Assam, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh were affected.
The following projects have been carried out during
the financial year 2006/2007:
• Providing funds for the construction of 20
houses in Botad, an area of Gujarat severely affected by the floods,
granting shelter for many homeless people.
• Donating a substantial figure to provide much needed food,
shelter, medical
and water aid to a very poor area in Bihar.
• Sponsoring a Hifz and Scholarship Program in India currently
helping 30 poor students - 6 Alim and 24 Hifz students.
• Running yearly Ramadhan, Iftar & Qurbani Programs.
Anglo-Kutchi English Medium School
UWT has completely withdrawn its support of the
school after allegations came to light that the principal Derek
Slade of the school has previously been accused of corporal
punishment and abuse. UWT is fully committed to ensure the safety of
children and their protection from all forms of abuse. |
