Ismaili CIVIC is a culmination of efforts in countries around the world where the Jamat have served the communities amongst whom they live over the years, to improve the quality of life and create lasting social impact.

Between 25th and 27th September, hundreds of volunteers gave service to impact thousands of beneficiaries in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, DRC, Mozambique, Madagascar, South Africa Swaziland, Zambia, Namibia and other countries in Africa and around the world.
In Kenya, the jamat held various activities in Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi. In Nairobi, more than 110 pints of blood were collected at a blood drive, and 100 trees planted at the Gigiri, Spring Valley, Runda and Parklands police stations, as well as the North Highridge public primary school. In Kisumu, the community organized a COVID19 vaccination drive, and appreciated frontline health workers. They also donated a computer, sewing machines, and other supplies to the Shakil orphanage. In Mombasa, a beach clean up by the community and partners collected over 800kg of rubbish on Bamburi beach. The community also donated masks to local beach vendors.

While 26th September marks a milestone day for the commemoration of Ismaili CIVIC, activities will continue throughout the year, as the Ismaili community continues to offer service and assistance to the communities amongst whom they live.

“In line with the ethics of our faith, community members from the Ismaili Community will unite across the country and the world on the weekend of 26th September to give their time, to the betterment of society and the environment. This is not a new endeavour, but rather, a continuation of our legacy of service, and we look forward to working alongside our brothers and sisters in Kenya to create lasting social impact” - Shamira Dostmohamed, President, Ismaili Council for Kenya.
