The QASIP Discovery Map

Follow the clues. Unfold the journey.

Open each stop to reveal the next clue while the entire adventure map stays clear and visible. The ship sails from one destination to the next as you explore.

CHOOSE a real humanitarian need that matters to your group. Investigate who is affected, why it matters and what you want to understand.

Clue ✦ Before you try to solve a problem, get curious about the people and the need.

PLAN & ACT. Shape your idea, decide how students will take part, set a realistic fundraising goal and choose a lawful, ethical, school-approved way to mobilise support.

Your challenge: How can we use what we learn, create and do to make a meaningful contribution?

Open a pathway below. These are starting points, not assigned projects. Your students still own the idea and solution.

Open All Programme Paths →

Weeks 1–2: Choose & research
Weeks 3–4: Plan the solution
Weeks 5–8: Act, campaign & raise
Due date: Submit the contribution

Think big. Plan realistically. The final outcome may change in scale or form. Your contribution can still matter.

Your school submits the student-raised contribution. From there, Qurban Africa takes the humanitarian work forward.

Receive → Allocate → Implement → Complete

The destination may evolve. Implementation depends on the amount raised, verified needs, feasibility and available opportunities.

About QASIP

A real humanitarian connection for student-led learning.

Students identify a real humanitarian problem, research the need, develop their own proposed solution and take action to raise funds through lawful, ethical, Islamically appropriate and school-approved means.

The project belongs to the students and their school. Qurban Africa does not manage, teach, assess or supervise the student project during the school/organisation-led phase.

🔎

Choose a real problem

Students investigate what the problem is, who is affected, why it matters and what could make a meaningful difference.

💡

Develop their own solution

Students research, think, plan, consider resources and decide what they hope to achieve.

🌍

Connect action to impact

At the programme due date, student-raised funds are submitted through the school/organisation and Qurban Africa takes the humanitarian contribution forward.

How It Works

Choose. Plan & Act. Make an Impact.

CHOOSE

Find a problem that matters.

Students explore humanitarian needs and choose a problem they want to address through the school/organisation's normal educational processes.

PLAN & ACT

Design your solution. Take the means.

Students develop their solution and may create, organise, campaign, sell, educate, collaborate or use another appropriate initiative to raise funds.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Turn your contribution into humanitarian action.

The school/organisation submits the final contribution. Qurban Africa then assesses, allocates, implements, updates and completes the humanitarian follow-through.

Qurban Africa — Makes the Humanitarian Connection

At the beginning: Initiates → Informs → Opens Pathways.

At the end: Receives → Allocates → Implements → Updates → Completes.

During the student project: Qurban Africa does not supervise students, manage projects, teach PBL, manage fundraising, approve school activities, assess work or grade participation.

Think Big. Plan Realistically.

The goal can be ambitious. The final scale must be feasible.

Example

Students may research the challenge of children lacking essential learning materials and set a goal to support 50 children.

If the final funds raised can support only 15 children, their contribution still matters.

Humanitarian outcome

The original proposed solution is a goal, not a guarantee. Final implementation depends on the amount raised, actual humanitarian needs, feasibility and available implementation opportunities.

Where necessary, Qurban Africa may identify another appropriate pathway serving the same humanitarian purpose.

QASIP Humanitarian Programme Choices

Humanitarian pathways students can connect their projects to.

Each participating group selects one QASIP programme that best connects with the problem it has researched and the solution it has developed. Different groups within the same school may choose different programmes.

Student Choice

Students develop the project. Qurban Africa provides the humanitarian pathway.

Students research the problem, develop their own solution and decide which humanitarian pathway fits their project. Qurban Africa becomes the means through which the selected humanitarian action can be taken forward.

One group → one selected QASIP humanitarian programme. The selection identifies the humanitarian pathway the group intends to work toward. It does not guarantee the exact final intervention, cost, location, beneficiary number or implementation method. Final humanitarian implementation depends on funds raised, verified needs, feasibility and available opportunities.

QASIP Pathway 01

Aqiqah

For student projects that connect with the Islamic practice of Aqiqah and providing meat to people in need through Qurban Africa.

A celebration of one life can become nourishment for another. Students explore how gratitude for a new life can extend beyond one family and reach people for whom receiving meat may be uncommon.

The ProblemMany students know Aqiqah as a family occasion but may not understand how its benefit can extend to people facing food insecurity.

Driving QuestionHow can we understand the purpose of Aqiqah and use our learning to help its benefit reach people in need?

Possible Student SolutionResearch Aqiqah, food need and responsible distribution; create an awareness or fundraising campaign; set a realistic target; and, where appropriate, contribute toward an Aqiqah arranged through Qurban Africa.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 02

Sadaqah Sacrifice

For projects where students choose a charitable sacrifice as the humanitarian pathway for supporting people and communities in need.

What if something we give becomes a meal on a table we may never see? Students investigate how a voluntary act of charity can move from sincere intention to organised, dignified support for people facing hardship.

The ProblemCommunities may have limited access to nutritious food while students want to help but do not yet understand how charitable sacrifice can be organised responsibly.

Driving QuestionHow can voluntary Sadaqah become a responsible project that provides meaningful benefit to people facing hardship?

Possible Student SolutionResearch Sadaqah and food insecurity; design a student campaign; calculate a realistic target; mobilise support; and connect the contribution to an appropriate Sadaqah sacrifice pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 04

MYTQA — My Treasury Qurban Africa

For student projects focused on planning, saving and preparing for Qurbani over 6, 8 or 10 months.

Students are invited to look across humanitarian needs and make a thoughtful choice. Instead of beginning with “How much can we raise?”, they begin with “Which need should we respond to, and why?”

The ProblemHumanitarian needs are many, but students need a structured way to compare priorities, investigate context and choose a response responsibly.

Driving QuestionHow can we use the MYTQA pathway to identify a meaningful humanitarian need and build a student-led response with real value?

Possible Student SolutionExplore MYTQA; select a need; research the issue and community context; create a project proposal and campaign; set a feasible target; and take action.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 06

Clean Water and Tube Well Projects

Support an urgent clean-water appeal for verified tube wells, boreholes, water points, repairs and related facilities in communities across Africa.

The project can begin with something ordinary: a student turns on a tap and water appears. Then the class encounters a community where safe water may require distance, effort or an unreliable source. That glass of water becomes the beginning of the investigation.

The ProblemSome communities lack reliable access to safe water because wells, boreholes, water points or related facilities are absent, damaged or insufficient.

Driving QuestionHow can we design a realistic clean-water project that contributes toward safer and more reliable water access for a community in need?

Possible Student SolutionInvestigate water access, health, geography and infrastructure; compare possible interventions and indicative costs; design a campaign; set a feasible contribution goal; and support an available clean-water pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 07

Ramadan and Food Aid

Support carefully arranged food parcels, cooked meals and emergency food distributions for families facing hardship.

Students know the anticipation of iftar. This pathway asks them to consider a household preparing for the same sunset while uncertain about what food will be available. Empathy becomes research, planning and action.

The ProblemFamilies experiencing hardship may struggle to obtain sufficient food during Ramadan or periods of acute need.

Driving QuestionHow can we design a dignified food-support project that helps families receive meaningful assistance during Ramadan or times of hardship?

Possible Student SolutionInvestigate food insecurity and household needs; design a balanced food-support concept; calculate quantities and costs; create a school-approved campaign; and contribute to an available food-aid pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 08

Masjid Support

Help verified communities repair, improve or equip masjids and essential worship facilities.

A masjid is more than walls and a roof. Its story is written by the people who pray, learn and gather inside it. Students investigate what a community worship space genuinely needs and what should be prioritised.

The ProblemSome communities have masjids that require repair, improvement, essential equipment or basic facilities.

Driving QuestionHow can we help strengthen a masjid as a safe, functional and beneficial space for the community it serves?

Possible Student SolutionStudy a verified need; prioritise essential improvements; develop a simple budget or improvement plan; create an awareness and fundraising project; and support an appropriate masjid pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 09

Healthcare and Emergency Relief

Provide verified assistance for urgent healthcare needs, essential supplies and emergency family relief.

Sometimes a family’s world changes in a single day: illness, accident, disaster or sudden loss. Students learn that a useful response must be rapid, careful, respectful and grounded in real need.

The ProblemFamilies facing medical or humanitarian emergencies may urgently require healthcare support, essential supplies or immediate family relief.

Driving QuestionHow can we design a rapid but responsible response to help a family or community facing an urgent humanitarian need?

Possible Student SolutionAnalyse a verified need or scenario; distinguish urgent from non-urgent priorities; build a simple emergency budget; create an ethical campaign that protects dignity; and contribute through an available relief pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 10

Education and Skills Development

Support verified learning needs, school materials and practical skills that can strengthen long-term opportunity.

Sometimes opportunity begins with something remarkably small: a book, a tool, a lesson or a skill. Students explore what happens when a learner has determination but lacks the resources or opportunity to move forward.

The ProblemChildren, young people or adults in underserved communities may lack learning materials, educational resources or practical skills opportunities.

Driving QuestionHow can we design an education or skills project that responds to an immediate learning need while helping create longer-term opportunity?

Possible Student SolutionInvestigate a verified learning need; identify barriers; design a resource or skills-support response; develop a budget and campaign; define the intended benefit; and contribute through the relevant education pathway.

Discover→Question→Investigate→Design→Register→Act

QASIP Pathway 11

Orphanage / Yateem

For student projects that connect with verified support for orphaned children and vulnerable young people.

A student project can begin by asking what children without stable family support may need to learn, grow and participate with dignity.

The ProblemOrphaned and vulnerable children may face gaps in education, food, clothing, care or practical opportunity.

Driving QuestionHow can our group turn awareness of a real need into a responsible contribution that benefits vulnerable children?

Possible Student SolutionResearch an appropriate need, design a school-approved awareness or fundraising activity, document the work and contribute through an available verified pathway.
