Restoration of the territory around the Kaunas Mosque

This year the religious community of Kaunas Muslims received all the necessary special permits required by the Department of Cultural Heritage under Ministry of Culture and the Kaunas City Municipality, to carry out restoration of the territory around Kaunas mosque. So the restoration works will be as following: the whole territory will be surrounded by the fence, a car parking will be built and the pavements will be renewed. The territory of the Kaunas Mosque is 0.8405 ha, the length of the fence to be reconstructed (height of the fence 1.5 m from the outside of the plot) is 392.5 m, a car parking area is 356.5 m² (15 places + 2 for handicaps) and replacement of the pavement covers 1207 m².

What is our situation now?

Today the territory around the mosque is in a poor condition: it attracts people to use that place as park for dogs, drinking gathering, also every Jumuah prayer police car comes and gives fines for the parked cars because of lack of parking places near the Mosque.

For many years Muslims community members who attend religious activities with children do not feel safe and welcome in their own place. During occupation time until today Muslim community did not properly utilize all its territory for their religious needs (for ex. during two large feasts in the year, prayers are being held outside due to a large number of participats etc.). This kind of situation is unsafe and we need social, economical and environmental changes in our area. In shaa Allah

Therefore, we invite everyone to contribute to this project by providing financial support. We would like to point out that it is only with God’s help and your generous support that we will be able to complete our project and protect the unique religious heritage environment in Kaunas city.

The funds for the realization of this project will continue to be collected in the community itself, in the Kaunas mosque on the last Friday of each month, after the Jumma prayer. Likewise, the support can also be directly transferred to the bank account of the Kaunas Muslim community (Please indicate that it is “Donation: Project of the territory– 2020”):
