Current Financial Situation

We’re in the final stretch now. For a $15.5 million project, we’ve already raised $13.7 million together.

We urgently need $1.8 million more to open the doors: the last fraction of capital costs to finish the inside of the building and to pay overdue bills to our contractor, Mujeeb Ahmed. He and his team have supported this project at significant personal cost, and we need to honor our commitments to them. $1.8 million is too much for any one of us, but it’s just within reach if we all pitch in.

This amount will go toward the following items:
