OU: VILLAGE PROJECT
SUPPORTING THE WORLD IN BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES
As we approach the holy month of Ramadan, our hearts are filled with joy and a deep sense of gratitude for all that we have.
At AR Projects, we have the privilege of serving ALLAH in providing our services to communities and make a difference in people's lives.
How it started
Two years ago, this land was nothing but overgrown and forgotten. Today, Our Ummah Village is a thriving sanctuary in Wobulenzi, Uganda—a home for orphans, a place of education, and a centre of faith. This journey started with two young boys, fleeing a snake-infested mud hut after their mother, struggling with severe mental health challenges, could no longer care for them. They had nowhere to go. We built this village for so many more like them. What began as a single masjid has now expanded into a safe space for 19 orphans, a school, a kitchen serving daily meals, and a community hub that has transformed lives.
What We’ve Achieved So Far

Mosque established, serving as a spiritual hub for prayer and education.
