Programs
One of our cornerstone programs is MAI Legal Services, a unique modest means clinic that offers reduced-rate services to all, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. We utilize a sliding scale to ensure that those in need of legal counsel, but who cannot afford the exorbitant prices of typical law firms, are not ignored. Our legal staff also provides support for refugees and victims of domestic violence through our Refugee Program and our Women's Fund. These services are offered at pro bono rates and are provided on a referral basis only.
We’re proud to support our youth program, Salaam Corps, though we’re consistently impressed at their initiative and how little support they truly need. Last year, this group of dedicated young individuals partnered with interfaith youth organizations throughout Indianapolis to organize the Kenya Karnival, an event focused on raising funds to further the education of Kenyan orphans. Salaam Corps was excited to raise $9400 to sponsor the education of over 100 students!
We also host an Annual Convention around late October and an Annual Governor’s Iftar during Ramadan. These events foster the connections within our Muslim community and provide a showcase for the good work MAI does throughout the year!
As MAI moves into 2012, we will be continuing our Campaign for Compassionate Communities started in 2011. This year, MAI will focus on ensuring food security in Indianapolis through a series of events and service opportunities as part of the Food Security Initiative.
