Mosque build
A purpose-built mosque, prayer hall and family space serving a growing community in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
The project
For several years, the community in Eastleigh, Nairobi has been meeting in a converted unit that is now too small for Friday prayers and has no accessible washrooms. The new mosque will provide a dedicated prayer hall, a separate space for children and families, and facilities that meet modern accessibility standards.
The building has been designed around the daily rhythm of the community rather than a single large hall. The main prayer space will open for the five prayers, while a smaller room will be available for study circles, meetings and quiet reflection during the week. Outside term time, the family space will host children's classes and community events.
The project is being delivered in phases so that costs remain transparent and supporters can see what each stage achieves. Groundworks are complete, and the next phase covers the steel frame, roof and main floor. The community has pledged more than half of the total cost, with the remainder to be raised before the fit-out stage.
Every contribution is recorded as a pledge, not a payment. The project team will contact supporters with secure payment details and will publish progress updates on this page. Questions about the design, timetable or budget can be sent through the Ask a Question form and will be answered by the project team.
The site has been cleared, foundations poured and drainage connections signed off. The structural contractor is now preparing for the steel frame, which is due on site in the coming weeks.
The remaining planning conditions relating to parking and landscaping have been formally discharged. This clears the way for the structural phase to begin without further approvals.
Two drop-in sessions were held at the current prayer space. Feedback focused on accessible parking, a larger women's prayer area and a quiet room for nursing mothers. The design team has incorporated these points into the final layout.
