The Masjid Abdullah Community in collaboration with the Masjid El-Hidaya Community of Atlanta are funding the building of a complex to hosue the Sankore Primary School & the Sankore Secondary School. Ihsan expects to launch a primary school in September 2007.

The buildings to house the foundational phase of this college have been completed. This includes a masjid, a community literacy program and a faculty residence. Twenty-five orphans temporarily live in one of the faculty apartments.

Sankore has now launched its Teachers Training Institute. Upon graduation, Sankore teachers are expected to minimize the shortage of teachers in the rural areas.

When completed, Sankore College will include an Institute of Traditional Islamic Sciences, a Secondary School, and a program of Languages and Humanities. Its Institute of Professional Studies will offer courses in Farming, Business Administration, Information Technology, Nursing, Accounting and Building Sciences. A student population of 1,000 is anticipated.

The Atlanta Community is building this feeder institution for the Sankore College across the river from Sankore, so that young children of Yelesanda and nearby villages no longer must risk their lives by crossing the river.

The Institute, which includes a masjid, will also have the following institutions and programs:

• A program of Arabic and traditional Islamic Sciences
• A Secondary School
• A program of Mass Literacy and Community Development
