Zamzam Knowledge Academy

Update 2: January 2025.

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah and your generous support, our students returned to the school building in mid-December, just before their winter break. Seeing them back in their classrooms has been a source of immense joy.

However, some critical repairs and replacements remain:

Outside Fencing – $80,000–$100,000

Teacher Desks – 10 desks @ $279 each ($2,790)

Damaged Doors – 4 doors @ $1,350 each ($5,400)

Maple Folding Storage Units – 4 units @ $1,200 each ($4,800)

Abel Block Sets – 3 sets @ $620 each ($1,860)

We humbly ask for your continued support to complete these projects and provide our children with a safe, nurturing environment. Every donation counts and will serve as sadaqah jariyah, benefiting you in this life and the Hereafter.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your generosity and du’as.

Update: Thanks to your generous donations fallen trees have been removed and demolition inside has started. Please share with your friends and contacts so we can get our kiddos back into their classrooms quickly.

I’m reaching out to ask for your support in making a real difference. ZamZam Knowledge Academy, the only full-time Islamic educational institution in Volusia and Flagler counties, was severely affected by Hurricane Milton, and we need your help to rebuild.

On October 9-10, 2024, Hurricane Milton tore through Daytona Beach, leaving devastation in its wake. Just before the storm, we had proudly completed a remodel of our beloved school, transforming the old Islamic Center into classrooms for our PreK 3-5th grade students. But now, our school sits in over 8 inches of filthy floodwater. The longer we wait the more the mold will creep into the walls causing more issues to mitigate.

ZamZam Knowledge Academy has been a vital part of this community since 2016, offering quality education to about 50 young students. Now, our classrooms are uninhabitable, and we’re unable to continue serving our students until repairs are made.

We urgently need your generosity to help us restore the building, replace destroyed materials, and secure a temporary location so our students don’t lose access to their education. Every dollar you contribute will bring us closer to reopening our doors and returning to the vital mission of nurturing the future of our community.

Your kindness today will have a lasting impact on these children, their families, and our community as a whole.

Thank you for your support and for standing with us during this difficult time.

Assalamu Alaikum (Peace be upon you) and greetings to our generous community! We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to support our noble endeavor – the renovation of the former Islamic Center building to be the New Home of ZamZam Knowledge Academy, the only full-time Islamic school in the area (county) that will nurture the minds and hearts of our future generations.

The Vision:

Our vision is to create a safe and inspiring environment where children can receive a comprehensive education rooted in Islamic principles, fostering academic excellence, character development, and a strong sense of community. By transforming this existing space, we aim to provide a dedicated facility that will serve as a beacon of knowledge and spiritual growth for our children.

The Need:

The current building, while holding immense potential, requires significant renovations to meet the standards of a modern educational institution. We envision classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology, a library filled with diverse Islamic literature, and recreational areas that promote physical and mental well-being. Your generous contributions will help us turn this vision into a reality.

Educational Excellence: Our school will focus on academic excellence, offering a well-rounded curriculum while incorporating Islamic teachings into every aspect of learning.

Community Impact: By supporting this project, you're investing in the development of a community hub that fosters a sense of belonging, unity, and shared values.

Preserving Identity: Our school will play a vital role in preserving and promoting Islamic values, ensuring that our children grow up with a strong sense of their cultural and religious identity.

Future Leaders: Your contribution will help shape the future leaders who will contribute positively to society, grounded in the teachings of Islam.

How You Can Help:

We are seeking your support to raise funds for the following:

Building Renovations: Ensure the structural integrity and safety of the existing building, and create a conducive learning environment.

Classroom Equipment and Technology: Provide modern educational tools and technology to enhance the learning experience.

Library Resources: Establish a comprehensive collection of books and resources that align with Islamic teachings.

Recreational Areas: Develop spaces for physical activities and creative expression to support holistic child development.

Your donation, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to our goal. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of our children and the broader community. Let us unite in this noble cause and be part of a legacy that will benefit generations to come.

May Allah reward your generosity and make this endeavor a source of ongoing charity for you and your loved ones.

Daytona Beach was in the direct path of Hurricane Ian, one of the most destructive storms to hit Florida, and it affected the community tremendously. ZamZam Knowledge Academy, located inside the Islamic Center of Daytona Beach, was established in 2016 and is a private non-profit school as well as the only full-time Islamic Educational Institution offering this type of education in Volusia and Flagler counties.

Hurricane Ian ripped through the city and caused heavy flooding, closing our school immediately. The building has over 12 inches of filthy flood water. Sitting water creates mold in the walls. All the carpeting, doors, furniture, and base cabinets have been ruined and need replacement, along with classroom and teacher materials.

ZamZam Knowledge Academy caters to 40 K-5 students. Unfortunately, we cannot attend school until the Mosque is restored and reopened. Please, we need your generous donation to help us pay for the restoration work, repair or replace materials, and cover the cost of a temporary location (i.e., rent, utilities, etc...), so our students may return to school.

Thanks in advance for contributing to this cause.
