The All Ceylon Young Men’s Muslim Association Conference (YMMA) was founded on April 30, 1950, by Dr. A.M.A. Azeez. Its mission is to develop a generation of Muslim men capable of serving their country and promoting Islamic values.
Over the years, the YMMA has expanded its reach through the establishment of branches across Sri Lanka and has engaged in various community service initiatives, including disaster relief efforts and educational programs. It has also been involved in political affairs, advocating for the rights of the Muslim community.
The YMMA faced significant challenges during the Sri Lankan Civil War, but it continued to provide support to the Muslim community through relief efforts and counseling services. After the war, the YMMA played a crucial role in rebuilding communities and promoting reconciliation.
Today, the YMMA remains committed to social justice and human rights, advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. It also focuses on empowering youth through education, leadership training, and skills development programs. Additionally, the YMMA promotes interfaith dialogue and understanding, fostering peaceful coexistence among different religious groups.
The YMMA has a rich history of serving the Muslim community and contributing to the development of Sri Lanka. It continues to be a vital force in promoting social justice, education, and interfaith harmony.
