Good Deed: The Masjid Makeover Project

The completed masjid in South Africa by 1000 Good Deeds

Our friends over on 1000GoodDeeds.com have had the greatest epiphany: Why not use our Good Deeds directly towards masjid makeovers? Masjids are the ideal centre of a Muslim community, and unless you're living on Pluto, you'll no doubt be part of or at least know of a dilapidated masjid in your neighbourhood. I know I am. On Pluto, that is.

So far the ideas have begun to form various projects and more suggestions are being taken on board. All you have to do is check out the original Tasks: Masjid Makeover page on 1000GoodDeeds.com and then contribute in anyway you can (you know you can) towards the Final Masjid Makeover Challenges.
