The Honoured Muslim Network (HMN) is a faith-inspired global non-profit that strategically uplifts the Ummah through three pillars: securing futures for orphans, driving economic empowerment, and cultivating ethical leadership.
Our current mandates are:

Values & Ethical Building (Akhlaq)
HMN is officially registered as a non-profit organization in Nigeria (Registration No. 147000) and in the United States (in the State of Texas). We are actively pursuing 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status in the U.S. to ensure all contributions are tax-deductible.
We uphold the highest standards of Amanah (trust) and financial transparency. We undergo annual independent audits, and our Annual Impact Report (detailing every dollar and program outcome) is available here: [https://ckarchive.com/b/r8u8hoh32onreb48nng83sdr0l666f7h2meg5].
Our current strategic impact areas are Nigeria and the United States. We are committed to expanding our reach to vulnerable communities in other African countries as our resources grow.
