Help Jami Masjid Buffalo build a Wellness Campus for the Inner City

This summer we are embarking on new and exciting projects with the intention of increasing whole-person wellness. Many of our projects have already begun and we need your help to bring our dreams to completion.

From Day 1, it has always been Jami’s vision to serve the whole person. We are committed to building a strong and healthy, self-sustainable community, based on devotion, service, and holistic living. We believe in order to live a healthy and fulfilling life, one must create balance using holistic care.

Our Wellness Campus is designed to put that belief into practice and action. It will consist of the following three branches:

1) Medical branch:
We plan to build a brand new Free Health Clinic directly adjacent to the Masjid. We hope to expand our current services to include:

o Natural Medicine

o Free medical screenings and wellness check-ups

o Nutritional Counseling

o Women’s Health

o Family and Trauma Counseling

o Cupping Therapy

o Other holistic medical therapies
All practitioners will be licensed, trained professionals providing the highest quality of service.

2) Fitness branch:
+Children’s playground [COMPLETED]

+Basketball and Soccer Courts [COMPLETED]

Next plans:

​+Adventure Ninja Course for ages 13+

+Outdoor Fitness equipment promoting physical literacy and strength

+Outdoor poured-in-place rubber Dojang for Tae Kwon Do and other Martial Arts training for children and adults

The blueprint for the fitness branch has been completed and we have applied to and received grants to help us start the project.

3) Sustainable Eating branch:

​+Organic Vegetable Gardens and Fruit Orchards [COMPLETED]
+Fresh Water Well – This well will provide clean and free water to the entire neighborhood and will water and grow our fruit orchards. The well has been dug, however, filtration and brick enclosing are still needed. Picture below:
+Organic Chicken Coop – [Structure completed to hold 25 chickens] – will be used to bring fresh eggs to our community.
+Wholesome Halal Food Pantry – we will transform one of Jami’s current buildings to distribute wholesome and healthy food as well as fresh produce from our thriving orchards and gardens. Our hope is to provide an oasis in the inner city’s food desert.
