They Dream of Mecca But Can’t Afford It…
Help 100 Africans Perform Hajj Every Year
💚 A yearly commitment, an eternal impact. Since 2023, Charity & Hope has sent 100 pilgrims from Sub-Saharan Africa to Mecca each year. Thanks to you, the fifth pillar of Islam becomes accessible to those who have dreamed of it for decades.
A sacred dream, an unattainable reality for millions of Africans
Hajj is more than a journey: it’s a spiritual rebirth, forgiveness, and unity with the Ummah. Yet thousands of Muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa give up every year due to exorbitant costs (airfare, accommodation, transportation, food). Our annual mission: remove these financial barriers and send 100 pilgrims every year, without exception.
In 2025, we aim for 100 complete sponsorships. Thanks to your generosity, a Muslim from Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, or Chad can walk in the footsteps of the prophets and experience the most transformative journey of their life.
“None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”
— Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
