ABOUT US
Established in 2007, EIADE is dedicated to serving the Muslim community—particularly in rural areas—through religious, social, and developmental initiatives, with the foremost aim of safeguarding against kufr and promoting Islamic values.
Our Mission & Vision
EIADE operates with a clear mission to prevent kufr by supporting the Muslim community—particularly in rural areas—through religious guidance, social support, and developmental programs. In this sector, EIADE not only works to strengthen the faith of the Muslim community through wisdom, but also seeks to convey the beauty of Islam to non-Muslims—utilizing scholarly discussions and core Islamic concepts presented through various means.
Our vision is to create empowered Muslim communities across Ethiopia who are spiritually grounded, intellectually equipped, and socially resilient—preserving their Islamic identity and contributing positively to society, especially in regions where they are a minority.

Our History
For the past 10 years, EIADE has been serving the Muslim community in Ethiopia, growing from a small organization to a significant institution with nationwide impact.
Foundation and Early Activities
EIADE was formed with 14 dedicated brothers as a Jemeah (Islamic group). The year also saw the distribution of Qur'ans, construction of masjids, and the organization of public debate events to promote Islamic awareness.

We expanded outreach by distributing Islamic pamphlets and performing Udhiyyah. A monthly financial support program was also launched to assist 15 families in need—an initiative that continues to this day.
Institution Building and Da'wah Expansion
We recruited qualified Ustaz for teaching, constructed madrasas to support Islamic education, and launched the Motorcycle Da'wah Project to reach remote areas efficiently.
Da'wah Innovation and Humanitarian Services
We distributed Iftar packages during Ramadan, organized summer training in comparative religion in Addis Ababa, dug a water well for clean access, and distributed Da'wah content via memory cards in multiple languages.
Emergency Relief Efforts
We provided humanitarian aid to communities affected by natural and man-made disasters, demonstrating our commitment to compassion and resilience.
