Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP) established
AMP Zakat Fund in 2013 to empower the lives of underprivileged Muslims by promoting
Education &
Self-Employment. AMP realized then in its duty towards Community welfare, the potential of a properly organized Zakat Collection and Disbursement and how it can be effectively utilized to bring out the Community from the throes of misery. The principles of
Collective Zakat were used for establishing the Fund so a
Zakat Seeker could be transformed into a
Zakat Giver. Thus, through AMP Zakat Fund, we have been working relentlessly towards supporting
Higher Education, Orphans’ Education and
Self-Employment for the needy for the past 8 years now.
AMP Higher Education Scholarship fund is aimed towards enabling each and every meritorious but needy Student to pursue his/her dream. AMP believes that none of our Muslim students should drop out of Education because of poor financial conditions. Following the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, AMP envisioned itself to be an enabler for Muslims who want to seek knowledge. Education can indeed solve all the problems of Muslims and could transform the entire community drastically.
Through AMP Scholarship Fund, yearly support of min. Rs. 10,000/- up to Rs. 50,000/- is given to the most
deserving and meritorious students pursuing Higher Education in the fields of
Engineering, Medicine, Architecture, Law, Management etc. By this endeavour, AMP hopes that the worries of the students getting assistance would be reduced to some extent and they can focus better on their education and try to build a good base for themselves.
In the year 2020 AMP supported
570 financially needy students pursuing professional courses who were selected from 1300+ applications received from across India. Since 2013, AMP Higher Education Fund has supported
1364 students with a total fund of
Rs. 1.54 Crores so far Alhamdulillah!
