BUILD A HOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I have donated to build a home, what happens next?

JazakAllah for your donation, our teams will be on the ground using local knowledge to situate a family in an area of need.

The home will be constructed as soon as weather/local conditions permit.

Once the well house has been built, you will receive photos, a completion report as well as a certificate.

If you wish to receive a certificate upon completion your donation, please request this via email at info@islamicappeal.org

How long does it take to build a home?

This all depends on the current circumstance on the ground, we try to build as soon as conditions permit, the average time will be between 9 – 12 months which we believe is reasonable as we have heard other charities take up to 2-3 years.

Where will the house be built?

Currently we are working in South East Asia in the poorest regions where there is a dire need for communities to have safe shelter.

Although we would love our Donors to chose where the well be built, we can’t facilitate this request as this will increase administration costs, something Islamic Appeal wants to avoid as we believe all funds should be dedicated to actually helping the needy thus avoiding unnecessary admin costs.

What is the difference between a £1500 home and £2800?

The £1500 will be made out of a tin roof and the base will be cement and steel pillars.

The £2800 house will be made out of bricks which will more sturdy and resilient to harsh weather,

What is the selection criteria of the place/family chosen to build a home?

Financially poor families/villages.
