Story

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُم بِٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ سِرًّۭا وَعَلَانِيَةًۭ فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٢٧٤

Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly—their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve. (2:274)

Asalamualaykum

Education is the tool to eradicate the cycle of poverty. It empowers impoverished communities and allows them to educate and help themselves in the long term. 

In the light of global pandemics and disasters, education is often forgotten. Children, the most vulnerable beings are not given a chance in life.  Only we have the opportunity to make a difference to their lives and in turn, tackle inequality in education.

My wife has been working in education for 25 years and she is passionate about giving children the best start in life.  She believes that the early education lays the foundation to a successful society and this is the best way forward.

We both are grateful for our blessings and would like to give back to those less fortunate. We are keen to work towards building a school for disadvantaged children and help them educate themselves, to help their families and generations to come.  We were lucky enough to have this privilege.

By the will & grace of Allah (SWT) we have been given the opportunity to support The READ Foundation charity in order to build  essential schools in remote areas for underprivileged children and orphans..

These schools run on a self-supportive basis and meet their operational expenditure through local resources. To date, READ
Foundation has built over 390 schools, supporting 11,341 orphans in current education and currently have 112,006 children educating in their schools Mashaa'Allah.

Please kindly donate whatever you can & help us raise the vital funds needed that will contribute towards a construction of a new school complex that will cater for 500 students Inshaa'Allah.

There is no better way than to leave a legacy in your name that the  children in the school can benefit with an education for years and years to come. Please note this project is Zakat and Sadaqa eligible.

If you would like to know more regarding this particular school
build please do contact our good friend, brother Asif Malik who works for READ Foundation.
