Livelihoods Project
785 million people lack basic access to clean and safe drinking water. We’re on a mission to change that.
Helping People to Work their Own Way Out of Poverty
Many people in developing countries have the skills and enthusiasm to generate an income for themselves, yet lack the opportunity to put it into practice. At KKB, we believe in empowering people to help themselves. Inspired by our faith, we see the wealth given by God as something that all human beings have a right to and we strive to give people access to sustainable ways of supporting themselves and their communities.
Since 2016, KKB has been working in 9 countries to support people in accessing work, education, and vocational programs.
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘Whoever constructs a masjid for Allah, Allah will construct a house for him in Paradise’.

Frequently Asked Question’s
How Can We Help?
Our Livelihoods program focuses on supporting individuals and communities in need, in an unbiased manner. Through extensive research and assessment and in collaboration with different stakeholders including beneficiaries, we identify priority areas and target vulnerable households based on specific criteria. Households prioritized are:
- Households with a large number of dependents, especially children
- Households with elderly and/or people with chronic illnesses
- Households with people with special needs
- Women-Led Households
Our approach to fostering Livelihoods within communities is comprehensive. Our strategy encompasses close collaboration with both local and international NGOs, as well as key community stakeholders, including research centers, academic institutes, and governing bodies. Together, we engage in a value-based needs assessment process, working collaboratively to identify target individuals and families. This inclusive approach extends to homeowners, ensuring their active involvement in decision-making and program design. Through these collective efforts, we aim to raise awareness about the pivotal role that Livelihoods and Social Stability play in enhancing the well-being and sustainability of individuals and the broader community.
We believe in a circular economy that benefits local businesses, mostly MSMEs, creates jobs, and builds stable communities. We focus on efficiency and durability, which supports a strong economy and sustainable living, and we build local skills for lasting prosperity. We also help households prevent waste and use circular practices, making life better for everyone in the community.
We invest in rehabilitating or creating new shared indoor and outdoor community spaces, especially those related to youth, children, and older people such as playgrounds, and multi-purpose spaces to support training, workshops, and various community events.
