History of The World Federation of KSIMC
World Federation Inaugural Meeting in 1979, Hammersmith Imambada
Origins
In 1976, the World Federation was established, unifying the disparate jamaats of the Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri community worldwide under its headship. Preceded by the East Africa Federation formed in 1946, the new World Federation stemmed from the needs and growth of Khoja Shia communities in the USA, Canada, UK, UAE, Far East and elsewhere. In attending to the community’s financial, spiritual and educational needs globally ever since, the World Federation has passionately followed its motto ‘We exist to serve’. Recognised as a registered charity in the UK and world renowned for its efficient and well-organised humanitarian and religious contribution to the Shia world, the World Federation’s achievements are a dynamic tribute to the selfless dedication of its members.
