\n———————————————
\nConstruction work has been launched on a major Islamic educational, healthcare and charitable complex in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, with a budget of one billion Ethiopian birr, equivalent to approximately $6.2 million. The project aims to rebuild the historic Al-Awliya Islamic Institution and expand its services to the Muslim community.<\/p>\n
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 6, 2026, in the presence of members of the General Assembly of the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council. The new complex will be built on an alternative site covering approximately 10,000 square metres and will include a 10-storey building housing a modern school, a hospital and commercial facilities, with revenues from the latter supporting educational and charitable activities.<\/p>\n
Saeed Asmari, director of the Al-Awliya Relief and Development Institution, said the organisation had served the Muslim community for more than 70 years through education, drinking water provision and humanitarian and social programmes. Sheikh Ibrahim Tufa, president of the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, pledged to oversee the project’s implementation in accordance with its approved budget and timetable, while calling on the community to support the initiative. The project is intended to revive the institution’s historic role and strengthen educational, medical and charitable services for Muslims across Ethiopia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
