So it's that time again! Last year we managed to build water filtration systems for low income schools and provide hundreds of vulnerable children with access to clean water, this year there were SO many causes that kept touching my heart I just couldn't decide which one I wanted to do I wish I could do all of them 😭 Everytime I thought I had decided I thought of something else and then something else and got so upset trying to decide 😫 But you all know my passion for helping women, so following on from my recent Women's Aid Fundraiser, I thought that is what I should stick too.

With everything going on with Covid 19, many families have been thrown into poverty and pain, losing the main breadwinner in their families, losing their jobs or being stuck in abusive households unable to leave because they have no income of their own. So many charities have been doing an amazing job providing these families with food packs for Ramadan but I wanted to try help the families in the long term too, help them get back on their feet after losing loved ones or escaping abuse, so this year we will be raising money to help them to EARN THEIR OWN MONEY, providing them with sewing machines and all the training they will need to start earning money for themselves and their children. Honestly I'm sooooo happy with my decision to raise money for this because we can change these vulnerable families lives FOREVER. One sewing machine costs £80 with all the training they will need and can change a families life forever, give a woman a job, empower her to provide for her family, helping her to eventually insha'allah stop needing to rely on our donations and food packages, as well helping to develop a skill and giving them possibility to make new clothes for for themselves too 💖

I've set the goal as £800 for now (10 sewing machines) as I know I already raised money for @womensaid a few weeks ago so many people might not be able too donate again but lets see if we can change the lives of 10 families for ever Insha'Allah! Remember that Allah swt PROMISES that any money given in Charity will never take away from your wealth. 

@smile.aid Sakina Welfare Centre is dedicated to caring for widows, orphans and the other most needy. They will be helping in the distribution of these sewing machines as well as the training and information needed for women to start earning money for themselves and their children. Imagine having to RELY on donations or begging for basic necessities your whole life, then for just £80 all of a sudden being able to PROVIDE for yourself, and your family, so so amazing alhamdulillah!
