The Ceylon Baithulmal Fund (CBF) was established in 1957 on the initiative of the late H S Ismail (the first Muslim Speaker of the House of Representatives) and was later incorporated by an Act of Parliament.
CBF provides assistance under three main categories; education, entrepreneurship and general relief. The Ceylon Baithulmal Fund has also ventured into community projects by the construction of deep wells which caters to the water requirement of the villages.
Assistance is also extended to medical needs, widows/orphans support, provision of wheel chair and monthly stipends to the destitute. Anyone interested in participating in any of these noble causes, please contact the Secretary on 0777-630923.
