Ondru stands for peace in Ukraine! While the people continue to suffer from the devastation of war and violence, the world has begun to forget - the media is moving on to other issues. Cost of war is the loss of humanity, let us not forget the screams of those innocent.

Only a few days to go until our Lost and Found event!

During the pandemic, we took the opportunity to recalibrate.

Ondru has always had a purpose underpinned with strong values, and we’re proud to say we’ve come back stronger and more determined.

"A lot of non-Muslims feel that what they are seeing on the news is Islam. I have found that the best way to address that is to create a platform where we say 'we are ready to talk to you if you want to talk to use' & these books are a part of that." - Mufti A.
