Towards a Stronger Tomorrow -

Visit of the CBG Chairman to Kigali Jamaat

The Chairman of the Capacity Building Board (CBG), Alhaj Shabbirhussein Khalfan visited Kigali on 13th November 2025 and had an opportunity to have a constructive engagement with the Jamaat’s Managing Committee and members of the community.

During the visit, Shabbir bhai addressed the community on the importance of capacity building initiatives, highlighting how such programs are designed to unlock individual potential, enhance self-awareness and nurture personal growth. He emphasized that when community members develop confidence, acquire new skills and strengthen their knowledge, they become more empowered, productive and capable contributors to the long-term progress of the community.

A short talk on mental health was also delivered, underscoring its significance in personal wellbeing and community development.

The dialogue also focused on identifying the capacity-building needs of the Kigali Jamaat and exploring empowerment tools that can be facilitated to support their development journey. Capacity building, he noted, fosters a deeper sense of ownership and responsibility within the community enabling individuals to take active control of their own future advancement.

It was a fruitful and inspiring gathering and there is optimism that tailored programs for the Kigali community will take shape soon responding directly to their aspirations and needs.

The Capacity Building Group extends its sincere appreciation to the Managing Committee of the Kigali Jamaat for the well-organised arrangement and warm hospitality. We pray for continued cooperation, lasting success and increased tawfiqat in our collective efforts to empower individuals for the progress and posterity of the community.
