Approximately 4 years ago in Paradise Village, located on Lamu Island, the community with their very limited resources built the existing Masjid and Madrassa structure. The community have benefitted greatly from this Masjid, but over time the condition of the Masjid has deteriorated and can no longer accommodate the growing needs of the community. The structure of the Masjid is supported by branches of wood and sheltered by corrugated steel sheets. Due to the nature of the structure, it is in constant need of maintenance and attention. The current condition of the Masjid is dilapidated and possesses many risks and as a result, many community members now resort to offering prayers in their homes.
