Faseelat Ummah connects researchers and field experts in Global South and the Muslim Community with community members ready to contribute their skills, time, advocacy, and networks, because most solutions already exist. They just need people willing to act on them.

Faseelat Ummah is an independent, community-driven platform that bridges the gap between academic research and real-world action, starting with the Muslim world and extending to underserved communities across the Global South.
Read our MissionIf you have written a policy brief, a field study, a research paper, or any documented analysis of a real problem in the Muslim world or the Global South, and if that work proposes solutions that barely have been acted upon you can post a card on this platform and invite the community to help.
How to post your research →A Doer on Faseelat Ummah is anyone who is ready to contribute what they have in service of a cause they believe in. You do not need a PhD. You do not need to live in the country where the problem exists. You need only the willingness to offer something real.

A few of the questions we hear most often.
Faseelat Ummah is a community platform that connects Muslim researchers, field experts, and policy writers with community members who want to turn research into action. If you have a policy brief, a field report, or a research paper proposing solutions to real problems — and no institution is acting on it, Faseelat Ummah is where you bring it to the community.
The platform is for two kinds of people. Researchers and field experts who have written about a problem and want community support to address it. And Doers, community members, professionals, volunteers, advocates, and diaspora members who want to contribute their skills, time, or networks to causes they believe in. Anyone may browse the platform freely.
No. You can browse all project cards freely without registering. You only need an account to contact a researcher or to appear in the Doer directory so researchers can find you directly.
No. Faseelat Ummah facilitates introductions only. No financial transactions are processed by the platform at any stage. If a card lists a funding need, the researcher will describe their preferred donation channel, for example, a personal fundraising campaign or a bank transfer to an NGO, and any financial arrangement is made directly between the doer and the researcher. Faseelat Ummah is not a party to any such arrangement and accepts no liability for it.
Our primary focus is Muslim-majority countries and Muslim communities worldwide, across North Africa, the Levant, the Gulf, South and Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central Asia, including significant diaspora communities in Europe, North America, and beyond. However, we are open to researchers and doers from any background working on development challenges in the Global South. Our commitment is to communities that have been underserved by existing knowledge platforms.
