Camel Foundation is a UK based international NGO which provides support to developmental work across the world predominantly in India.
We believe in establishing Táaleem (education) and Tarbiyah (nurturing) as a cornerstone to achieve our objective.
Camel Foundation strives towards honouring the vulnerable and poor section of the society by helping them to unleash their potential and empower them with a holistic approach towards education – a key tool to transform their lives.
Camel Foundation with its team of volunteers are guided by the principles of Islam which stands for universal peace, equality and honouring the weak and vulnerable sections of our community.
We care to tell you that we do not encourage any particular school of thought in Islam, and any political activities are strictly unfavored.
We are steadfast, honest and unwavering in our objective of transforming our community
Camel foundation is a UK based international NGO providing support in developmental work through holistic education and awareness raising
What we believe
Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim
Ibn Majah
Allah’s Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: A man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously. A man whom Allah has given wisdom and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.”
Sahih Bukhari Narrated by Abdullah bin Masud
Quran & Sunnah order us to honour the poor and vulnerable section of the community with a hidden wisdom that they can be your real asset if cared and looked after
Ignorance is likened to intoxication which leads to destruction of individuals and hence families and communities. Holistic education is the cure for ignorance
Creating awareness:
Awareness raising is an important tool to generate support , participation and sustenance of work , along with building a healthy society around ourselves
CFT doesn’t believe that donating for community building is enough. This is why CFT volunteers regularly engage individuals, families and their children and the wider populace in community through outreach work. Our focus is on encouraging people to be conscious of the responsibilities as a believer and engage in developing self , their family and the community . Encourage individuals and families to become aware of the needs of wider community. To respect and honour the poor and vulnerable section of the community by giving them equal opportunities to reach their full potential.
Community building work is a team work. It can’t be achieved by few people.
Working with partners:
CFT doesn’t believe in telling tall-tales or make big claims. We know our limits, but we also know that united, there’s nothing we cannot change. CFT looks forward to engage and partner with other NGOs with a similar vision. Currently we partner with Camel foundation – India and Camel foundation – USA.
United, there is nothing we cannot change. We believe in forming alliance to achieve our goals
Advocacy
Together we are responsible and only together we can make a difference
CFT is a young charity with a fresh vision. We believe problems faced by the community won’t get solved through donations alone. We don’t just want to take your money. We want to take you on board to form teams.
Seeking knowledge is an obligation on every Muslim
Ibn Majah
Ignorance is likened to intoxication which leads to destruction of individuals and hence families and communities.
Allah says in Quran, indeed Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.
Holistic education is the cure for ignorance and darkness
Key elements of holistic education
- Islamic education
- Modern education
- Nurturing discipline
- Developing linguistic and communication skills
- Good health and physical well being
Community building is not complete until we include and honour poor, orphan and weaker sections of the society
Camel foundation does not allow any political activism on its platform. There is zero tolerance for hate, mischief, discrimination or abuse
