Volunteering

Introduction

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) was asked “Who is the best of people?” He replied… “The one who is most beneficial to others.” (Silsalah Sahihah- Al-Albani 789/1)

The volunteers at Maun Foundation have been the backbone of the organization.  Many of the projects and that we operate today are staffed by people who are volunteering their time fi’sabilillah.

The various teams require different skills and experience therefore all of our volunteers bring something new to the organisation.  We value the contribution of all individuals irrespective of age, skills, background or experience.  Each role is different and as such every volunteer is different.

A typical volunteer works in a given role with set or varied hours.  This depends on what is required as part of the position and on how many hours an individual can offer.  For Maun Foundation, intention and being committed are the most important aspects.  This ensures that we can rely on you to give the hours that you say that you can, and that you work to the best of your ability knowing that you are seeking reward from Allah azza wa jal.
