History:
Kolonnawa area had been flooded in mid May 2016, and Almuslimaath has been in the field providing immediate relief and long term relief. Then we found hundreds of children in these area are not attending schools at all due to the lack of space in the government schools, no Islamic education at schools & often inability to pay the international schools’ fee and/or travelling expenditure & difficulty in purchasing the books. Therefore the children are left at home, either not having attended school at all, or having left school half way. This has led this area to become home to drug usage and trafficking, drinking and gambling even by children as they had nothing better to do.
So we decided to open a low cost high standard international school in Koilawathe, Kolonnawa as a branch of our existing school Alasaafeer International School in Dehiwela, since registering new schools are not allowed by the government at present.
The local mosque trustees were very supportive of this project; we enrolled students on the 16th of October, & opened the school with 81 students for the first time on the 31st of October, 2016 Alhamdhulillah!
We are certain, insha Allah, this will be a tremendously successful and helpful project for the youngsters in this disadvantaged area and hopefully change the attitude of the parents and the future generation.
may almighty help us to educate our future generation.

Branches : Al Asaafeer International Girls’ School, Dehiwela, Sri Lanka
Al Asaafeer International Boys’ School, Dehiwela, Sri Lanka

The children who can not afford to pay the fees will be sponsored by Zakath Donors.
