To build the first Islamic community centre in Bendigo, Victoria in Australia.
Today, about 200 families – around 450 people . They are from 25 different nationalities and include students from South East Asia and the Middle East. They worship, socialise and celebrate together, as a single Islamic community.
Not having a formal place of worship or celebration in Bendigo has seen some families move away to bigger, mostly metropolitan, cities, weakening the fabric of the local Islamic, and wider Bendigo, community.
With the nearest mosque more than 160kms away, and current, borrowed, facilities inadequate to meet the growing demands of the Muslim community, it is clear a permanent facility to help the Muslim community worship, celebrate and grow is needed.
We need your help to build the first Islamic community centre for our generations to come.
