Wherever you are

Rooted in Sierra Leone. Open to the world.

Many of the people we serve live abroad: in the UK, the US, Europe, the Gulf and across West Africa. Everything Rutob offers works from wherever you are.

Who we are

Tackling poverty and ignorance through Islamic values.

Rutob is a non-governmental Islamic organisation based in Fourah Bay, Freetown. Our divisions are connected on purpose: the pilgrim, the business owner, the student and the family in need are often the same community.

Our story and values Meet the team
Thanks to Rutob Charity’s focus on sustainable support, I can now support my family through my business. Their guidance and resources have empowered me to improve my livelihood, fulfilling the Islamic ideal of self-sufficiency and community support.
