About Us
Building unity through connection, cooperation and shared purpose.
UIOTT brings Islamic organisations, businesses, professionals and communities together to strengthen our collective capacity and better serve Muslims across Trinidad and Tobago.
WHO WE ARE
Bringing Our Community Together
The United Islamic Organisations of Trinidad and Tobago, UIOTT, exists to create a common platform through which Islamic organisations, businesses, institutions, professionals and community stakeholders can connect and work together.
Our purpose is not to replace the organisations that have faithfully served the Muslim community. It is to strengthen the relationships between them, encourage consultation and cooperation, and help ensure that the concerns and aspirations of Muslims in Trinidad and Tobago are understood and fairly represented.
We also recognise that our community possesses an extraordinary range of professional expertise, skills, businesses, institutions and resources. By connecting these strengths, UIOTT seeks to create opportunities for collaboration and greater collective impact.
We believe our diversity should be a source of strength. Through sincerity, mutual respect and common purpose, we can better serve our community and contribute positively to our nation.
