MATW Project Information

Muslims Around The World was a special project developed in October 2015 to assist those less fortunate in the poverty stricken areas of Togo in Africa. It was established by the late Ali Banat, a young successful businessman from within the Australian Muslim community, who was diagnosed with cancer, and dedicated the remainder of his life towards charity. Since 2015, MATW has successfully carried out numerous projects establishing schools, orphanages, housing for widows and children in Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Benin. Providing for children and orphans was particularly close to Ali’s heart, not having had any children of his own, he grew to love them as though they were his own. Sadly in May 2018, Ali lost his battle with cancer leaving behind a sustainable and effective legacy through MATW. MATW now expands the relief programs for over 30 countries, including Lebanon, Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen, Indonesia, and parts of East Africa.
