Who we are
Universal Message for All Humanity Trust (UMAH Trust) is a registered charitable trust in Fraser Town, Bangalore. Since 2021 our volunteers have stood with people who have no one to speak for them.
We help with legal problems and papers, schooling and health care, safety for women and children, and hot food for families sleeping on the street. Everything we do is for the sake of Allah, and open to every neighbour in need, whatever their faith.
What our name means
UMM
UMMAH
Umm is mother, but Ummah is nation.
Preserve the women, and you’ll preserve the nation.
In Arabic, both words grow from the same root: the mother and the community she raises.
Our name holds both: a nation that cares for its mothers, and a message for every human being.
Our work in numbers
Our first food drives. From the start, 100 to 150 people received food from us every day.
Day after day, for five years. And the help grew: ration kits, marriages, education, a means to earn, and aid for Gaza.
1,84,600meals, and still counting
And alongside the daily food:

مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍ
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains.”
