About
As part of the National Charity Challenge, Majlis Atfalul Ahmadiyya UK are raising funds to build a school in Rwabaganda, Rakai District of Uganda, in collaboration with Humanity First UK.
At the moment there is no school in the area and there are around 300 students in close proximity who are in need of education. The funds that will be raised from this initiative will enable us to build school complex with multiple classrooms, admin rooms, playground and additional facilities.
What is the
Charity Challenge?
Every year Atfal UK take part in an initiative to raise money for charity. We have worked with many different charities in the past.
Most recently we collaborated with the International Association of Ahmadi Architects and Engineers (IAAAE) on a Model Village project in The Gambia.
This year we have partnered with Humanity First UK to build a school in Uganda.

How Can I Fundraise towards my Target?
Why not hold your own fundraising event. This is sometimes the best way to maximise collections and get many people involved. Take a look below for some ideas on what you can do.
- Arrange a day or multiple days when you will hold a car wash event.
- Speak to the people on your street and let them know when and where to come.
- Arrange a team to help with the set up and cleaning.
- Charge at least £10 for external and £10 for an internal clean.
- Allow customers to donate more by displaying a QR code to your JustGiving page on the event day.
- Most councils, primary and secondary schools hold summer fayres. Ask the organisers if your family can hold a stall.
- You can also request your school to allow you to hold a bake sale during your lunch break.
- Manpower and gazebos can be provided through the regional or national team.
- Think of food items to sell, a BBQ, drinks, cakes etc.
- Approach your teachers to donate towards the cause.
- Identify the most active car boot sales in your region. For example, there is one on the A3 before Guildford. They charge only £15–£25 for a pitch. All you have to do is turn up early on the day and set up your stall.
- Ask your local majlis for a donation drive, for items people no longer need that can be sold. Collect these and sell at the car boot sale, with all proceeds going to the charity challenge.
Promote any activities you are doing amongst family and friends to get them involved and also donate towards your cause.Why not hold your own fundraising event. This is sometimes the best way to maximise collections and get many people involved. Take a look below for some ideas on what you can do.
