United Welfare Union was established in Hong Kong in 2002 working for the betterment of Youth and providing basic services for Ethnic Minorities. In 2007, United Welfare Union was recognized as a non-profit making charitable organization under section 88 by Hong Kong Government. Currently, we are running 3 centers in Tung Chung, Yau Ma Tei and To Kwa Wan. Since there are only limited (5 Mosques) prayer halls available for Muslim community in HK. 4 are located on Hong Kong Island and 1 in Kowloon. Not even 1 Mosque was approved new land in HK since last 90 years. After a few years of struggle, we were able to get approval for a piece of land on STT (Short Term Tenancy) terms in Yau Ma Tei in 2013 called “Masjid Ibrahim”. Recently, the Lands Department refused to extend the lease of the land and want us to vacant the LAND. Yau Ma Tei (Masjid Ibrahim) was a great relief for Muslims and to Kowloon Mosque as it was over crowded during Friday Grand prayers. We have public visitors for pray 5 times a day and specially on Friday (Juma) Grand prayers from different districts including Yau Ma Tei , Jordan, Mong Kok and others. It is also over crowded during the public holidays and Sundays by the Indonesian and Philippine sisters. Apart from this, we are also providing an extra facility for the Muslim Tourist who visit HK and stays in Hotels nearby to perform their daily prayers. The daily usage of the land is approx. over 500pax per day. The usage is even higher during Friday Grand prayers. We have to split 2 session to accommodate the huge crowd. Some of our current activities and operation are as follow: We offer prayer service for 15,000 Muslims every month at Masjid Ibrahi Offer 5 times prayer everyday from 5:00am to 9:30pm Arrange prayers for Two Big Muslim festivals Offer Quranic education and Islamic and social values to about 100 children and 50 elderly on daily basis Arrange Hajj and Umrah to Makkah, Saudi Arabia Invite overseas Islamic Scholars for lectures and I
