Their work spans from China and Palestine all the way to Mexico and South Africa. The money you raise will not only provide essential food and nutrition, but will work towards providing the security of education for many children Insha'Allah.</span></span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; color: black;">Sub-Saharan Africa is the lowest-ranked region in the world on the United Nation&rsquo;s education development index, with reports showing that children in Sub-Saharan Africa account for the 43% of the world&rsquo;s out-of-school children. <span>The reason we are so enthusiastic about this cause is because MH is fixated on breaking this cycle of poverty and dependency through sustained education and support; far beyond the provisions of short term aid that most organisations provide.</span></span></div> <div><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;; color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot;"><span style="font-size: small;">So friends, remember the excitement of buying new stationary at the start of every academic year and DIG DEEP INTO YOUR POCKETS<span> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"> </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></span></span></div> </span></div> <div><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></div>
