Many Muslims in Africa can't get educated because they do not have access to computers, internet, and electricity
These learning centers make education accessible by providing essential facilities that poor Muslims may not otherwise have access to.
We also provide help and training at these centers so our brothers and sisters can make the most of their education.
Your support will empower them to get an Islamized Education and help them break free from the poverty cycle.
Did you know? Millions of Muslims in Africa are stuck in poverty because of a lack of education.
Over 235 million students were enrolled in higher education in the world in 2020 with a gross enrollment ratio of 40% globally, yet in Sub-Saharan Africa it was only 9% (UIS database).
According to UNESCO, approximately 98 million children in sub-Saharan Africa were out of school in 2021.
We Have ALREADY Impacted the Lives of More than 4,000+ Muslim Students
So far, the International Open University (IOU) has established more than 25 centers in more than 12 African countries and has also sponsored MORE than 4,000+ Muslim students in Africa with the help of our donors.
Many have ALREADY started to GRADUATE in both Academic AND Islamic studies. Alhamdulillah.
Imagine the Reward of Educating THOUSANDS of Future Imams, Da'ees, or Scholars.
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 Judgment.
We need just 30 people to donate $1 per day (or $30 per month) to run 14 learning centers across Africa!
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“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].
“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].

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.
