Following the success of our previous initiative where ‘Raise for Life’ by the Grace of Allah raised an amazing £164,274.26 to build a permanent water filtration plant in Gaza with the charity ‘Interpal’, we are now moving onto our next projects.
During Ramadan, we will be working in conjunction with the charity ‘Penny Appeal’ on their ‘Feed Our World’ initiative and thereafter we will be working with Orphans in Need, raising funds for their orphan village project. Below is a brief breakdown of both:
During the blessed last ten days of Ramadan we will be feeding 20,000 displaced and destitute people in twenty of the poorest countries. This huge logistical programme will be achieved through the help of the 15 recognised Muslim charity partners of ‘Penny Appeal’.
One ticket costs £20 and that will provide 20 meals across 20 countries (this equates to £1 a meal!), alternatively you could get the family and friends to contribute towards a complete booklet which has 30 tickets (£600) and would feed 600 people. Remember you can contibute your Zakat towards this and the reward multiplies in Ramadan. We need to raise £20,000 by the first week of Ramadan to ensure we can organise the food distribution in time for the last ten days of Ramadan.

Donate: Raise for Life – Feed our World Project
There are over 65 million orphans in Asia alone and the majority of orphaned children have no choice but to go out and either beg or work. Even if they get some work, they are often exploited because of their age and literally receive pennies for working long days in often dangerous circumstances. They have no choice as the alternative is starvation.
Our goal is to raise £40,000 (which is the cost of one house in the orphan village). This will house 12 orphans and a widow, as well as providing them with primary/secondary education, skills training, medical treatment and clothing.
