Research & Advocacy
At Sharfam, we are committed to empowering Muslim communities through knowledge and informed action. Our goal is to build a future where Muslim communities are informed, empowered, and actively shaping their own socio-economic and political destinies through evidence-based strategies and sustainable development initiatives.Together, we strive to uncover challenges, identify opportunities, and devise solutions that promote self-reliance and community development.
Economic Development
We study the economic barriers faced by Muslim communities and explore strategies to improve livelihoods, promote entrepreneurship, and enhance access to financial resources.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Our research examines how digital tools and technologies can bridge gaps in education, employment, and community development, fostering greater inclusion and opportunity.
Mental Health
Mental well-being is essential for individual and community growth. We address stigma, access to mental health resources, and culturally sensitive approaches to mental health care.
Education
Education is the cornerstone of progress. We explore challenges in access, quality, and inclusivity of education for Muslims, with a focus on enhancing literacy and vocational skills.
Business and Entrepreneurship
We investigate the challenges faced by Muslim entrepreneurs, including market access, financing, and value addition, and develop strategies to support small businesses and startups.
What We Do
Our team produces in-depth studies on socio-economic and political challenges facing Muslim communities, providing data-driven insights for targeted solutions. We transform research findings into actionable advocacy plans, engaging policymakers, community leaders, and development partners to drive change. Through workshops, publications, and training, we share knowledge and tools to enable individuals and communities to address their challenges independently.
