Headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, The Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaats of Africa (Africa Federation) stands as a beacon of unity and service, now approaching the historic milestone of its 80th anniversary in 2026.

As the apex faith-based body for the continent, we serve as the central steward for member Jamaats across Africa. Our mandate transcends administrative governance; we are steadfastly dedicated to the holistic spiritual and socio-economic empowerment of both the Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri diaspora and the flourishing indigenous communities of the Shia Ithna Asheri faith throughout the region.

​

The Africa Federation translates its vision into impact through a network of specialized boards designed to drive strategic development at the grassroots level. Our interventions are comprehensive, spanning external outreach (Bilal Muslim Mission) and Tabligh, while securing the fundamental pillars of well-being through Housing, Health, and Economic Development. We are equally committed to nurturing human potential through Education and Capacity Building, while fostering vibrant, engaged communities through dedicated initiatives for Youth, Women, Sports, and Media. Complementing these forward-looking initiatives, our dedicated Archives section serves as the custodian of our institutional memory, meticulously preserving our records for posterity.

United in purpose, we remain committed to honoring our rich heritage while architecting a progressive and sustainable future for the generations of Africa.
