To see thriving Muslim communities in northern Kenya who live in accordance with the teachings of Islam and positively impact the world around them.
To build strong Muslim communities in northern Kenya who live by the teachings of Islam and actively contribute to the wellbeing and progress of the world around them.
Our goal is to reintroduce Islam to the Rendille community and support their journey back to the fold of Islam through consistent da’awah, guidance, and long-term engagement.
We begin by building genuine relationships with the communities we serve. This means spending time with elders, opinion leaders, and families to earn their trust and understand their daily realities,
Da’awah Caravan was inspired by the life and work of our founding Amīr, Mohamed Ali Jama, who dedicated his life to understanding the Qur’an and sharing its message in a simple, practical and compassionate way. He encouraged Muslims to live with humility, give generously and combine religious knowledge with modern education. His passing in January 2022 left a great void, but his legacy continues through every Shahada, every child in Madrassa and every community that gains access to food, water and a Masjid.
We organise Shahada caravans where entire Manyattas (villages) can formally embrace Islam together.
Average cost: Around USD 8,000 per Shahada ceremony for an entire village (clothing, food rations, logistics).
Our Uji (porridge) feeding program tackles child hunger and keeps pupils in school and Madrassa. Children receive a nutritious cup of Uji that enables them to focus, learn and grow. The program has already increased attendance and reduced drop-outs in the villages where it has been introduced.
Cost: About USD 350 per village per month.
The Masjid is the heart of every Muslim community. We construct and support Masaajid and Madrassas so that new Muslims have a permanent place for prayer, learning and community life
Approximate cost: Around USD 33,000 for a Masjid with Maalim housing.
Water is life – and in our areas of work, it is the difference between survival and disaster. We support: Borehole drilling and equipping to provide long-term, sustainable water sources. Water bowser deliveries to villages during emergencies and severe drought when local sources run dry.
Boreholes: Approx. USD 60,000 per site (drilling + equipping). Water Bowsers: Approx. USD 300 per 20,000-litre trip.
Knowledge must be carried by people. We support Daii’s and Maalims who live and serve among the communities, often in very challenging conditions
Monthly stipends and basic livelihood support Housing and transport where possible Training, evaluation and ongoing mentoring
Cost: Around USD 300 per Daii per month.
During severe drought and hardship, we organise large-scale food distribution to thousands of households. On Eid-ul-Adha, we purchase animals directly from the local community, strengthening their economy while distributing meat to families in multiple villages.
In 2023 alone, Da’awah Caravan facilitated the sacrifice of 192 animals for Eid-ul-Adha and food support to thousands of households in more than a dozen villages.
Multiple Shahada ceremonies across villages such as Rengumo, Galdelan, Kurkum, Nahgan and Kargi-Gabaneyo.
Construction of new Masaajid, including the solar-powered Masjid at Bagasi and Masjid at Kargi-Urwein.
Deployment and growth of a team of dedicated Daii’s serving scattered communities.
Drought relief distributions for over 2,400 households in 2023, with ongoing support planned for at least 2,600 households across thirteen villages.
Scholarships for students, football kits for youth teams, water tanks, and other forms of community support that build dignity and belonging.
Every trip to the Manyattas offers a chance to witness renewed faith, smiling children, and elders expressing hope for lasting access to Islam, water, and education.
Organisations, Masajid, foundations and businesses are welcome to partner with us through regular contributions, co-funded projects, or in-kind support such as food items, learning materials or medical camps.
Help an entire village embrace Islam with dignity.
Keep children in school and Madrassa.
Build a lasting centre of prayer and knowledge.
