International Islamic University Malaysia – Garden of Knowledge and Virtue

IIUM OKU4U

OKU 4U Sejahtera and Islamic Outreach Project is one of IIUM’s major flagship projects. As the University strives to achieve the characteristics of Balanced Persons amongst its graduates and staff as well as the neighbouring community, no single individual should be left behind, especially the disadvantaged group that require special needs and attention, namely Persons with Disabilities (PwDs or OKU). PwDs face numerous challenges in life on a daily basis, from the most basic functions of managing themselves to fulfilling their religious duties as servants of Allah, and as students who have to excel just like everybody else.

ISLAMIC SOCIAL FINANCE FOR B40

Islamic Social Finance for B40 (ISFB40) is one of the initiative together with the other 28 Flagship Projects to support the IIUM Roadmap 2019-2020. The flagship “Islamic Social Finance for B40” has produced a good and impactful result and was awarded with a “Flagship Project Award Overall” during the IIUM Takrim Month 2020

YSM

The main aim of this flagship is to be involved in the development of the Sejahtera community within the RCE Greater Gombak. In particular, the projects in the flagship will be undertaking activities to develop the economic wellbeing of youth, single mothers and disadvantaged IIUM community members. The lack of capital and relevant knowledge to economically sustain themselves especially during this pandemic of Covid-19 are the primary reasons for this flagship to focus on these three groups of beneficiaries. They will be equipped with necessary entrepreneurial skills such as e-commerce, digital marketing and financial literacy/management.
