We Must Make Our Community A Decent And Safe Place To Live.

— The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.” Isaiah 61:4 (NIV)

What is Project Torchlight?

What is a Project?
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, a Project is a specific plan or design. Our Project is the divine plan that derives from the Will of Allah God, through His Messiah, which will help to usher in the Kingdom of God on earth.
Please read Matthew 16:19, Daniel 2:44, and Holy Quran 67:1
What is a Torchlight?
A Torchlight is anything that serves to illuminate, enlighten or guide. It also means to love someone or something that does not necessarily reciprocate love. The bearer of the torchlight is a person who imparts knowledge, the truth or inspiration to others.
“A Torchlight For America” book, authored by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

Teaching Young Men A Trade

Hands-on trade and apprenticeship training gives our young men real skills they can use to build careers, businesses, and futures. From audio engineering and event production to entrepreneurship, our brothers are learning by doing — guided by mentors who look like them and believe in them.

Mother’s Day — Roses & Groceries

On Mother’s Day, Project Torchlight took to the streets of College Park to hand-deliver fresh roses and bags of groceries to mothers throughout our community. Every mother is worthy of honor.
