Ramadan TV SKY 192 Appeal 25/07/13

We are doing a live appeal for four projects today on Ramadan TV Channel 192. We are raising funds for Cleft Surgery, Hifz Sponsorship, Rohingya Muslim Food Pack and Clean Water Project.

Hifz-e-Quran:

The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said, 'The best among you are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it to others (Bukhari) £15 a month or just 50p a day can help a poor student memorize the Qur'an. This is one to one sponsorship where you are updated on a regular basis about the child's progress.

Ramadan 2013 Target:

Al-Mustafa Welfare Trust wants to raise funds to help sponsor 30 Hafiz-e-Quran this Ramadan.

£540 for full sponsorship of a child to memorize the whole Quran for three years.

Cleft Surgery:

Children with cleft lip and palate are likely to face bullying or teasing. Sufferers with cleft lip or palate are less likely than non-affected peers to marry. In Uganda babies with cleft are called 'Ajok' which means sadly means 'cursed by God' In many parts of the world babies with cleft are killed or abandoned after birth.

Every year more than 170,000 children are born globally with clefts.

Abdul's Story:

Abdul Basit was borne with Cleft palates, unlike normal children he was unable to eat and smile. He had cleft surgery at our hospital and now looks like a normal baby.

With generous support from donors like yourself we are able to carry out this free surgery which costs just £150 to help children like Abdul Basit smile.

It cost just £150 to give Abdul his smile back.



Ramadan 2013 Target:

This Ramadan we aim to generate funds to carry out 100 Cleft Surgeries.

By donating the amounts below we can achieve our target!

£150 for one cleft surgery

£300 for two cleft surgeries

£600 for four cleft surgeries

£750 for five cleft surgeries

£900 for for six cleft surgeries

Clean Water:

People are suffering and lives are lost every minute and every day needlessly because of a lack of safe water and sanitation.

With your support we help local communities have easy access to clean water to end this global crisis and transform lives. According to the UNOCHA only 30% of the population in Somalia has access to safe drinking water sources. Our water-well projects are helping people to access clean water at their door step.

Omer and family from Somalia are happy

Omer is 43 years old from Somalia and father of 5 children and living in Belet-Alkarim village where we have installed a well.

"The main problem in the area is lack of clean water. People have to travel very far and our children have to help us to collect water. The whole village and especially children suffer from time to time from various diseases mainly, typhoid, diarrhoea, bilharzias and malaria which are caused by unclean water. I am happy now we have a well near our house."

Over 6000 people are benefiting from this well.

Zain, his cousins and friends having fun

Zain is from Shikarpur,in Sindh, Pakistan, where underground drinking water has been contaminated since the disastrous 2011 floods. We have installed hundreds of hand pumps in flood affected areas to help children like Zain to have access to clean water at their door step.

 £6000 can build a water filtration system
 £1000 could help install a agricultural tube well
 £2500 could help dig a community well
 £300 could help install an electric pump
 £200 could help fix a water pump

Rohingya Muslim Telethon PTV Prime Sky 792

We are doing a live telethon for the Rohingya Muslims on PTV Prime Sky channel 792 from 9.30pm to 1.30am 13th July 2013. Please watch and support this noble cause. We need to raise urgent funds to provide food and water to the displaced muslims.




ROHINGYA MUSLIMS BURMA APPEAL:

The Rohingya’s are a minority Muslim population in Burma. Since 1978 they have suffered from intense religious persecution including physical violence, rape and torture, land confiscation, house demolition and forced labour. Recently, tension in Burma has escalated dramatically and entire villages are being destroyed, leaving an estimated 100,000 people displaced without food, medical supplies or safety. These destitute people are living in very dire conditions in over 60 camps in the Rakhine State.

Conflict between the Rohingya and the ethnic Arakan majority has become progressively worse, so much so that an official state of emergency was declared in this region by the Burmese government in early June. It has been reported that women and children are being abducted from predominantly Muslim villages.

Al Mustafa Welfare Trust is working to reach the Rohingya community with the aid of local organizations on the ground and in bordering countries those are facilitating humanitarian projects.

The recent update as of July 2013 is revealing shocking violations of the Geneva Convention. Pregnant women have been murdered, women and young girls are being constantly raped and abused. In some cases women have been set ablaze and died. These people have been displaced from their homes and brutally being murdered. We urge all of the Muslim Ummah to stand united with the Rohingya Muslims and help support them financially as well as contacting your local MP and show outrage and for the British Government to show compassion and humanity and intervene in this genocide.

The chairman of Al Mustafa Abdul Razaq Sajid visited Burma in January 2013 to oversee the relief activities. The situation is still deteriorating and Muslims are living under awful and very adverse conditions.

The chairman visited many Muslims who were hiding from the authorities in various hidden places. The children and elderly people are at the higher risk and suffering the most.

Abdul Razzaq Sajid also visited the local hospital in Burma where Muslims are getting treatment and distributed food, cash and medicine supply from the hospital.


The chairman and other members of the delegation also arranged multiple meetings with local influential Muslim leaders to discuss the possible solution for current situation in Burma.

There was special conference arranged where other prestigious personalities of the Muslim community also spoke about the plight of current situation of Burmese Muslims.

The chairman of Al Mustafa called on the international human right organizations to highlight the plight of the Burmese Muslims situation.

UK PM urged to end Rohingya plight

LONDON - Al Mustafa Welfare Trust (AMWT) Chairman Abdul Razzaq Sajid has said that his charity organisation is working for international humanitarian relief and disasters and he has approached UK PM David Cameron to take a stronger stance over the killing of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. He urged the UK govt that killing of Rohingya Muslims was a matter of basic human rights which cannot be ignored, says a press release. Sajid said in a statement on Wednesday that on the request of Al Mustafa Welfare Trust, Muslim Charities Forum (MCF), an umbrella of leading Muslim charity organisation in UK, has written a letter to the PM David Cameron and requested him to end the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and Bangladesh. Sajid said that plight of the Burmese Rohingya has taken a significant turn for the worse following violent clashes with Rakhan community in western Myanmar. Government restrictions on humanitarian access to the Rohingya community have left over 100,000 displaced people in desperate need of food, shelter and medical aid. Malnutrition rates in the northern Arakan state where some 800,000 Rohingya lives are far above the global indicator for a health crisis and are likely to further deteriorate as international NGOs have been forced to leave the area. Meanwhile, the tens of thousands of Rohingya that fled to neighboring Bangladesh to escape the brutal attacks have ended up as unregistered refugees with little access to aid or assistance. The Bangladesh authorities have refused to help the refugees and have ordered several international charity organisations to cease essential humanitarian aid operations. Conditions in campsites where Rohingya are stationed are atrocious, with disease rampant and standard of living extremely poor.
