Who We Are

Sabili Foundation is a Algerian humanitarian organization established in 2013, with the mission to provide sustainable support to underserved communities. "Sabili," meaning "My Path" in Arabic, reflects our commitment to being a guiding force for those in need. What began as a series of volunteer-driven missions to seven African countries has since grown into a structured charity organization with a primary focus on Tanzania, Uganda, Algeria, and Mali.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support communities in need and improve their living conditions by focusing on key areas like education, health, and relief. These areas are interconnected and crucial for sustainable development. We began with educational initiatives to create a conducive learning environment, expanding to build integrated centers that enhance knowledge and skills. We also incorporate local curricula with cultural and religious values and work on projects like building places of worship and water wells. The goal is to empower communities and build a better future for all.

Our Inspiration

Since we began our journey in Africa in 2013, We have met many inspiring organizations and individuals and have sought to benefit from their expertise and impact in their respective fields. However, what inspires us most are charities with exceptional professionalism and well organized programs. One such remarkable figure is Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sumait. His dedication and commitment to charitable work and serving Allah’s creations are profoundly inspiring. As the founder of Direct Aid Association, he led numerous projects that improved lives in over 30 African countries. We encourage everyone to read his books and watch videos about his life to learn more about this distinguished individual.
