Update:

At United Arakan Institute Malaysia (UAIM), our commitment to enriching the lives of 130 refugee children, most of whom are Rohingya, has been bolstered by your invaluable support. The establishment of our computer lab has launched a new era of digital literacy, with students starting on Microsoft Office skills, setting them on a path toward future opportunities in graphic design and beyond.

Your generous donations have sustained our boarding school's fundamental needs—covering the essentials such as rent, utilities, teacher salaries, and ensuring our educational mission proceeds unhindered. This support has been pivotal, providing our students with a stable environment conducive to learning and growth.

Beyond the classroom, we've embraced agricultural self-sufficiency by growing crops that now supply half of our daily food requirements, fostering a healthy diet enriched with organic produce. This holistic approach extends to equipping each child with school uniforms, books, and covering transportation costs for six months—removing financial barriers to their education. Your contributions have been the cornerstone of these transformative changes, and we are profoundly grateful for your partnership in this journey of empowerment.

Campaign Story

Itthadul Madaris Al Arkaniah (United Arakan Institute Malaysia) a.k.a UAIM, has helped shelter displaced children torn from their families. To date, more than 300 Rohingya refugee children are currently under their care. UAIM also provides these children with quality education and necessities in hopes to give them a chance at a better future. This is Phase 2 of UAIM's campaign. In Phase 1, thanks to our donors and their support, we managed to secure one year's rental and utility bills to support the school. Today, UAIM is facing challenges to complete the new academic building and meeting expenses of the ceiling fans, chairs, tables, painting interiors, doors, partitions to separate classrooms, windows and wiring inside as well as such as any equipment such as whiteboard and projectors. With your donations, UAIM will be able to continue supporting the Rohingya Muslim children by improving the infrastructure and creating a conducive environment of the learning centre and also giving refugee children hope for a better future. Donations to this campaign will be used to complete the new Academic building and meet the expenses of procuring and other needed amenities for the classrooms. 

You will also be helping UAIM provide the children with the following vocational skills:
- Carpentry
- Sewing
- Refurbishing
- Welding
- Painting

A secondary aim of this campaign is to continue distributing food packs (including other necessities) to the underprivileged communities besides the Rohingya that are under the care of UAIM.

Let's start with just MYR 5 and help provide the gift of education to our young refugee brothers and sisters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter. And whoever covers (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will cover (his faults) for him in the world and the Hereafter. And Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother.” [Tirmidhi]
