African Model Village
Our beloved Huzooraba recommended to us during the National Amila mulaqat, August 29, 2021, that we sponsor an African Model Village, and the cost would be $90,000.00.
Huzooraba selected Sumanitinga, Ghana West Africa. Sumanitinga is a remote area in Ghana and has no electricity or water. It is not coming under any Government scheme for assistance.

Construction Smart Goals
The construction of this African Model Village has “Smart Goals”. The timeline is nine months, and the cost is $90,000.00. Each month has a target feature for the village and cost. Example: The first month is for the initial survey and boreholes, cost is $20,000.00, and moves along the timeline with completing the other features. The nineth month, inshaAllah, will be the completion and inauguration. Maybe some of us will be able to travel to see this African Model Village in its fruition, inshaAllah. More detail of the plans will come soon.
