After the massive earthquake struck in December 2003, a fact finding team visited Bam a few weeks after and identified both, short as well as long-term areas in which we as a community can contribute and put to effective use the resources, trust and confidence placed upon the World Federation by well wishers and donors from both within as well as those outside the Community. A proposal was presented to the office bearers and ratified by the Executive Council in February 2004.
Bam Project Head, Councillor Mohsin Kanji added, “I have no doubt this Centre will play a crucial role in countering the infiltration of forces that are anti Ahlul Bayt (AS) even in a country like Iran”.
Although the need in Bam is greater, the project was sized on the specific donations received for Bam and based on the assessment visit; this was identified as a befitting and lasting legacy to the needs of the people of Bam.
