At Ramadan & Hajj, my best friend Zahida Laher and I mostly would or have been hosting a radio programme called Rahay Islam - discussing Imaan and the pillars of Islam and how to go about implementing them in to our lives. Sadly, last Ramadan, my beloved best friend passed away. May Allah SWT grant her the highest of ranks in Jannatul Firdous. Ameen!
In her honour, this Ramadan I've chosen to fundraise to provide regular meals for children in Yemen. I want this Ramadan to be a time for us to practice what we are taught and I pray that Allah makes this heavy upon our scales.
Why Yemen?
Imagine growing up in a country suffering from water shortage, famine and political instability…
Some children don’t even need to imagine it – they live it every day.
A staggering 80% of Yemen’s population need humanitarian aid – and that includes 12 million innocent children struggling in a harsh, unforgiving world.
Many have no choice other than drop out of school to help their family beg for money, food or water, finding anything they can to survive. And 2 million under 5-year-olds are malnourished, many of whom will die if not given care urgently.
You can help end this.
Please donate your zakat and sadaqa to help provide atleast 25 children with regular meals for the whole year.
Charity Right have launched their school meals programme in three schools with almost 2,500 students across primary and secondary school age!
Charity Right are offering the children of Yemen an opportunity to escape their fate. By offering school meals, parents are able to send their children to school. There they find a place to be happy and healthy as they receive an education that will change their lives and the lives of their community.
£10 feeds a school child for 1 month
£60 feeds a school child for 6 months
£120 feeds a school child for 1 year
May Allah swt accept your charity and make it a means of attaining His pleasure, ameen!
