BREAKing THE CYCLE OF
POVERTY
Our story
One Ummah Foundation came into existence from an epic tragedy - the loss of 11 year old Mustafa Rahman. More than 20 years later, One Ummah has touched the lives of thousands of poor children in dozens of countries and kept his light shining brightly in the world.
From tragedy brings a story of hope and a focus on winning victories for humanity everyday.
With a worldview based on love and respect, One Ummah Foundation is an international charity dedicated to eliminating child labor by breaking the cycle of illiteracy and poverty in underdeveloped countries. We use a holistic approach that stabilizes families with basic needs - restoring dignity and hope to people in great need.
