About AL-WALIY CHARITY FOUNDATION

AL-WALIY CHARITY FOUNDATION is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization located in Richmond, Virginia, United States of America with Federal Identification Number 923301987. Our primary focus is to relentlessly work towards improving spiritual and social wellbeing of the less-privileged communities in East Africa. We believe that the world together has a role to play in changing livelihoods for the less fortunate.

Mr. Mohammed Kasule, the founder of AL-WALIY CHARITY FOUNDATION narrates that the organization was started in remembrance of his late mother, Hajjat Yudayah Nankya, who lived as a single mother of seven.

She fought tooth and nail to raise us up to be God fearing children, but most importantly those who cared for humanity. A service herself always aspired to do, up until the time her Creator took her soul in 2011 “May The Almighty forgive her, have mercy on her, provide her with salvation and forgive her shortcomings!
