According to UNESCO, approximately 98 million children in sub-Saharan Africa were out of school in 2021.
Sub-Saharan Africa has a gross enrollment ratio in higher education of 9% compared to 40% globally. [UIS database]
We want to break this cycle and empower people to seek knowledge and support themselves and their families.
Teaching somebody beneficial knowledge is among the best forms of ongoing charity.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever sets a good precedent in Islam will have the reward for that AND the reward of those who do it after him, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.” Muslim (1017)
“When a man dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous son who will pray for him.” Muslim (1631). 
Imagine the Reward of Educating a Future Imam
Not only will you get the EXACT REWARD every time they do a GOOD DEED from their BENEFICIAL KNOWLEDGE, but ALSO the reward of EVERYONE they guide or pass their knowledge on to FOREVER until the day of Judgement.
We Have ALREADY Impacted the Lives of More than 4,000+ Muslim Students
So far, the International Open University (IOU) has sponsored MORE than 4,000+ Muslim students in Africa with the help of our donors, and many have ALREADY started to GRADUATE.
IOU has also established more than 25 centers in more than 20 African countries, as many students don’t have access to computers, internet, and electricity. 
Help us create generational change today! Donate now!

3) Extinguish your sins
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Shall I not inform you of the gates to goodness? They are fasting which is a shield, charity which extinguishes the sins like water extinguishes a fire, and the prayer of a man in the depths of the night.” [Al Tirmidhi]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind." [Daraqutni]
About International Open University
Founded in 2007 by Dr. Bilal Philips, the International Open University (IOU) has been one of the leading providers of affordable, accessible, and authentic Islamic higher education in the online space.
From our humble beginnings, offering only a free Islamic studies diploma, we now provide fully accredited undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate degrees across multiple fields of study; from Islamic Studies to Business Administration.
With over 270,000 students from over 195 countries, IOU continues to positively impact the Muslim Ummah through higher education.
Charity Has Always Been a Core part of IOU
As we strive to impact the lives of as many Muslims as possible, we inevitably run into charitable opportunities for us to come together to benefit the underprivileged.
Whether it is providing scholarships to the underprivileged or building learning centers to make education more accessible, educating the Ummah is not something that we can do alone, it is something we must do together as an Ummah.
In such cases, we open these opportunities to the Ummah to maximize the impact and to share in the reward.
Education is an Amanah and so are Your Donations
To ensure that your donations reach their intended recipients in an efficient, transparent, and legal manner, IOU has partnered up with Global Open Learning Foundation based in Malaysia to collect and distribute donations for our various educational initiatives.
