Salaam, I hope you are well. I am supporting Human Appeal to combat the vulnerable situation of children in Bangladesh who will be provided  with direct services through an outreach programme. This includes health care and counselling to street and working children to address their immediate safety.

In the city of Dhaka, an estimated 350,000 vulnerable children (mostly orphans) live and work on the streets every day becoming subject to all manner of horrific abuse. 

Many of these children don't have others to look after them. Alhamdulillah many of us still have our parents with us who we can turn to during difficult times. As for these children, who do they have to turn to for support and comfort? The difficult situation the world is currently in will be frightening for them and not having a parent to turn to will be truly traumatising.

This is why now is the time to make a difference, this is the time to lend a helping hand. Donate generously for these orphans and let's make sure they receive the help that they require.

Giving money to charity purifies our soul and wealth, our faith is strengthened, our sins are forgiven and most importantly we are rewarded by Allah SWT. We should encourage each other to feed the poor as this is a noble deed and beautiful act.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "The best among you are those who bring greatest benefits to many others."

It is said in the Holy Quran that: "Those who spend in charity will be richly rewarded." [Quran 57:10]

Together let's make a difference, let's save lives.
