What we do
Four programs, one standard of care.
Orphan & family care
Our signature Iraq Orphans Project supports families who have taken in the children of deceased loved ones — instead of orphanages — with food, medicine, and material aid delivered through trusted on-the-ground partners from Mosul to Basrah, including the Dar Al Amin Safe House in Sadr City.
Education
We fund schools, teachers, and higher-education scholarships in Mauritania, Somalia, and Afghanistan, and rebuilt the Dar Ibrahim school in El Salvador — giving academically promising students in technical and medical fields the chance to keep learning.
Medical & audiology relief
Volunteer medical missions bring physicians, audiologists, and physical therapists to Syrian and Iraqi refugees in Jordan, while specialized surgeries and hearing devices reach patients who cannot be treated at home.
Clean water & agriculture
Over 50 hand-dug and solar-powered wells now serve villages in Mauritania and Afghanistan, alongside livestock and irrigation programs designed to make communities self-sufficient, not dependent.
Our philosophy
“In all our projects, every penny donated goes straight to the project designated. Not a cent goes to overhead, expenses, or salaries. Our donors and sponsors can rest assured that their contributions are serving the causes they believe in.”
Alalusi Foundation
We call it empowerment, not charity — giving people the tools to solve their own problems, the way sewing machines turned refugee women in Jordan into garment-makers, and four sheep became a family's livelihood in rural China.
Read our vision →A rebuilt school opens its doors in San Salvador.
Our most recently completed project is the renovation and expansion of the Dar Ibrahim school in San Salvador and the restoration of the masjid and community center in Nahuizalco, in southern El Salvador. The finished campus includes classrooms, a 50-plus-bed dormitory, dining halls, a library, and administration offices — serving a community first served by Dr. Armando Bukele, the educator credited with bringing Islam to El Salvador.
