About us
International Istiqama Muslim Charitable Association
The International Istiqama Muslim Charitable Association was founded in 1416 AH (1995 CE) in the Sultanate of Oman, delivering voluntary services across East Africa. A non-political international Islamic charity that aligns with nothing but Islam and honest charitable work, it gives without obligation or harm and calls people in the best of ways. Thanks to the support of its donors, many of the association's educational and outreach institutions now carry out their mission across several countries — especially among the Omani diaspora in Africa.
Our vision
Transforming poor communities from dependency to self-sustaining development.
Our mission
Providing an integrated educational, service and knowledge environment — building communities that meet their knowledge needs alongside their material needs, and moving them from need to production, from dependence to independence, and from asking to self-sufficiency.
International Istiqama earns the ISO 9001:2015 quality-management certification.
In a new achievement reflecting its commitment to institutional excellence, the International Istiqama Muslim Charitable Association has earned the ISO 9001:2015 certification in quality management for its charitable-project management services. This international accreditation affirms the quality of performance and the efficiency of the operations the association delivers to serve target communities in East Africa.
Continuing together on the path of quality — toward finer performance, deeper impact, and a truer message.
