Story
I will be joining Muslim Hands by taking part in Volunteer in West Africa 2019, from the 11th-18th April 2019. This unmissable, hands-on opportunity will give me the chance to work with the team abroad and deliver a number of activities at the Muslim Hands School of Excellence as well as visiting other projects within water-wells, livelihood programmes and Masjids projects within The Gambia and Senegal.
It’s unfortunate that there are children who are suffering with not only basic human needs but also without parents to help guide, nurture and create a future for them. Senegal is one of the poorest countries in the World, with 37% of children between five and fourteen in some sort of work, according to Unicef.
At Muslim Hands, we firmly believe education is a doorway out of poverty as it empowers people to build a better future for themselves and their families. In 2010, the Muslim Hands School of Excellence in Senegal was established, which has been providing a free, accessible education to orphaned and needy children. There are currently over 250 students enrolled at the school.
As part of this volunteer abroad project, I am raising £2500 to help support the provision and improvement of various facilities at our Muslim Hands School of Excellence in Senegal. With your support we can continue supporting orphan and needy children and provide them with sustainable and quality facilities to build their futures. This includes renovating existing facilities including the schools masjid, building a boundary wall, providing nutritional daily meals, regular medical check-ups and more.

If you are unable to donate, please make prayer for these beautiful children. I will be grateful if you can also pass on my link to family and friends, so they too can receive reward for their kindness whether that is a prayer or donations.
Remember no donation is too small 😄
Thank you so much.
