Invest in the life of a child RAMADAN RAIN OF MERCY Ramadan is the month where we seek to come closer to our Creator by doing all acts of worship more intently and intensely. One of those acts are giving zakat and charity. There are over 20 verses in the Quran that talk about the importance for caring for orphans. "Verily we feed them out of love for Him, we do not expect from you reward nor gratitude" (Quran 76:9) During this blessed month, we invite you to share your blessings with our children ZAKAT There's no better time to make zakat contribution than in this month. Once you select that your contribution is zakat, we will designate the funds only for projects that follow zakat's restrictions. SPONSOR IFTAR Breaking of the fast) in any of our homes. Each home has about 30-40 kids with the exception of the one in Khaligong, Bangladesh where we support 300 children. For $60-$80 you can sponsor an iftaar for each home. If you'd like to sponsor the 300 children, the cost is $500 for an iftaar. EID GIFTS For $10-20, you can sponsor Eid clothes, shoes, or a toy for our children.
