Hello Everyone:
Assalamu Alaikum and Ramadan mubarak to all of you. The precious days of Ramadan are upon us, and with them the blessings of giving Zakat and Sadaqa. We are now in the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, the month of self-sacrifice and fasting. As you consider where to donate your Zakat andFitra this year, we humbly ask that you consider contributing your charity to Distressed Children & Infants International's Zakat funds. Your generous donations will ensure that we can continue our important work on behalf of underprivileged and orphaned children in Bangladesh. If you are interested, please email me for more details.
Distressed Children and Infants International (DCI) is a US-based 501(c)(3) international nonprofit, established in 2003 for the purpose of helping impoverished children in Bangladesh and throughout the world. We strive to help underprivileged children lift themselves out of the poverty cycle by providing them basic life necessities, education, healthcare, and family support. We also endeavor to create connections between American youth and the less fortunate children of other countries. By doing so, we believe the children of America will become compassionate world citizens. To learn more about DCI, please visit http://www.distressedchildren.org
This Ramadan you can relieve suffering in the following special ways:
- SPONSOR A CHILD (Sun-Child Sponsorship Program): For only $15/month ($180/yr) you can sponsor a child in a rural school. Keep a child in school, prevent child labor, provide health care, vision care, improve schools, create income opportunities for the child's family, and support community development.
- SPONSOR AN ORPHAN (Orphan Support Program): For only $50/month ($600/yr) you can provide housing, food, basic necessities, healthcare, vision care, education support, and skill training to Bangladeshi orphans at our Sun Child Home. Help provide the orphans with tutors, counselors, life skills training, and job training to help them transition from the orphanage to the outside world once they have reached their teens.
- SPONSOR AN EYE SURGERY: $50 can provide an eye surgery for an individual to prevent blindness.
- OR: Make a donation in any amount, for your specific interest or to our general emergency fund.
This Ramadan your Zakat can make a difference to a child, a family, or a whole village. You can also give Sadaqa for programs such as EID Gifts for Children and Fitra.
Serving humanityis the greatest form of Ibadah and we should not miss this opportunity. Any contribution made will immensely help the distressed children of Bangladesh and India and help cleanse the world of poverty and injustice. May Allah bless you all for your contribution to this noble cause in the holy month of Ramadan. We at DCI wish you all a happy Ramadan and ask you to please distribute this message among your relatives and friends.
Eid Mubarak to you in advance. With kindest regards,
Fatima
