Empowering Our Mosques, Empowering Our Community
Inshallah, with your invaluable support, HIA (Halton Islamic Association) is strategically planning the construction of the center in two phases to effectively manage costs.
Phase 1 construction commenced on December 1st, 2023, and, Inshallah, is on track to reach completion by December 2024.
The overall estimated cost of the project stands at $15 million.
Phase 1, focusing on the Building Envelop, is budgeted at $9.7 million, while Phase 2, covering the Interior, is estimated at $5.3 million.
Alhamdulillah, we are grateful to report $4.8 million secured in our bank account, with an additional $1 million in outstanding pledges, totaling $5.8 million.
InshaAllah, we now seek to raise the remaining $3.9 million for Phase 1 promptly, ensuring uninterrupted construction progress.
This Ramadan, we invite you to join hands with us raise $1.5M towards Phase I. For every $2 you contribute, Islamic Relief will generously match with $1 up to $200,000, multiplying the impact of your donation.
Your support is instrumental in making this vision a reality.
