Set Up Repayment

Anjuman Wazifa was a great financial help to me and my family throughout my undergraduate education. With the funds I was able to borrow from Anjuman, I could focus on my studies without having to work part-time.

I am eternally grateful for the support of Anjuman Wazifa. I was able to borrow over $58,000 interest free while I pursued my bachelors and graduate degrees. This is an incredible service to the community and I encourage all to support it.

As an international student in the U.S., financial support is one of the many challenges students like myself will encounter as they pursue their career goals. I am truly appreciative of all the support and assistance Anjuman has given me and I encourage you to continue to support them for all their outstanding effort in the professional and personal development of our youth.
