About AMA
The mission of AMA is to create a welcoming community for all through education, awareness, community engagement and the promotion of diversity and equity. AMA was registered in 2004. It has two arms in Ottawa: Masjid Ar-Rahmah (Mosque of Mercy) and Sawmill Creek Social Services (SCSS), formerly known as AMA Community Centre.
Masjid Ar-Rahmah promotes spiritual development whereas the SCSS Centre helps AMA in investing resources where they are needed the most: in our youth, isolated seniors and women, and building local communities and neighbourhoods together.
