The foundation stone laying ceremony for the new building complex of Ummu Dhardha Ladies’ Islamic College was successfully held on 18 June 2026 (Friday), corresponding to 3rd Muharram 1448 AH.

The event was attended by the Principal, teachers, administrators, community leaders, academics, students, parents, and many well-wishers, making the occasion a memorable milestone in the history of the institution.

Established in 2010, Ummu Darda Ladies’ Islamic College has, over the past 16 years, achieved significant growth and has been actively engaged in various religious and social initiatives. The college currently offers a range of educational and community development programs, including:

  1. A five-year Shariah Studies Programme
  2. Al-Qur’an Memorization (Hifz) Programme
  3. A six-month Special Islamic Studies Programme for Grade Five students
  4. Islamic Life Guidance Programmes for students who have completed the G.C.E. Ordinary Level Examination
  5. Women’s self-employment and empowerment initiatives
  6. Through these and many other services, the college continues to make a valuable contribution to the community.

At present, the institution serves more than 300 students. The proposed modern building complex is envisioned as a centre for nurturing outstanding female leaders by incorporating contemporary educational developments and best practices. It is also expected to facilitate the implementation of a wide range of social and educational initiatives, not only for the Akkaraipattu area but also at a national level.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who prayed for, supported, and contributed tirelessly towards this project. May Almighty Allah accept their efforts and bless the successful completion of this noble undertaking.

Ameen.
