Our Story
Sofraa is a Non-profit charitable organization, constructed for the aim of supporting comprehensive development.
Brief of Sofraa Work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UiI-agnlEs Sofraa vision is to see the poorest communities enjoying distinguished educational, medical, environmental, cultural and social services and to become one of the lead organizations in the field of volunteering. Sofraa mission is to combat poverty through developing the marginalized and disadvantaged communities, and improve their educational, medical, environmental, and professional services. And to offer relief services to them, showing the true spirit of our Faith spreading the means of peace. Background In 2011, a television program called 'Khawater' launched a campaign in Uganda where there was a call for five volunteers to participate in a five-day mission. The aim was to bring volunteers from the Arab world to engage them in supporting the marginalized and neglected communities in order to raise a sense of voluntarism and responsibility and bring more attention to community development projects in Africa. The volunteers lived a life changing experience where they were assigned to contribute to assisting the communities in different sectors: Saleh -Egypt and Omar-Syria both helped in the construction of an orphanage Nadia-KSA as a physician she volunteered by working in HIV/AIDS Health centre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meIKZDORa3Q (link to the episode) Khaled-Egypt stayed in an orphanage helping them in their daily tasks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM7jdXqmgqw (link to the episode) Saleh-Egypt participated by teaching in a local school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_brdm0ojh6Q (link to the episode) Phase1 Following the campaign and after exposure to values of voluntarism, the volunteers were motivated to establish a project to continue providing assistance to disadvantaged communities. An initiative named “Arabian Mzungu” was started to increase the sense of responsibility among Arabs towards marginalized communities in Uganda. (Mzungu is a Southern, Central and Eastern African term for a person of a foreign descent. So if you're a white person coming to Uganda, get used to the expression, as you'll hear the greeting ' how are you Mzungu?' everywhere you go.) The initiative was based on providing assistance and enhancing livelihoods such as distribution of food , digging boreholes, getting people out of prison by paying their debts, paying school fees for students who cannot afford it. Phase2 The initiative quickly developed to a Non-profit Organisation named SOFRAA (meaning ambassadors), embracing "Arabian Mzungu" as its first project targeting the marginalized and disadvantaged communities in Uganda. Sofraa was established to ensure sustainability of development in Africa where it aims to extend support to more marginalized communities in Africa. Sofraa focuses on enhancing education, health and socioeconomic status. The "Arabian Mzungu" is then extended to target more communities by building schools, clinics, orphanages and other institutions . Sofraa also relies on voluntary work in the Arab region to raise awareness on voluntary values and raise a sense of responsibility among Arab young people towards African vulnerable communities. Objectives: 1. Access to better Education for targeted communities. 2. Health advocacy and improving health conditions of targeted communities (especially concerning HIV, Malaria and Cholera) 3. Foster and provide care for children without care givers in targeted communities. 4. Raising community awareness on Islamic culture. 5. Promote culture of volunteerism in developmental communities. 6. Facilitate access to basic services and needs (as Water aid and Food aid)
