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

The Burmese Rohingya Muslim's are 15 recognized as one of the world's most persecuted minorities, stateless and living in constant fear. Living in make-shift camps on the border between Burma and Bangladesh, they are in desperate need of food, shelter and medical aid.

The AMWT team visited Burma to supervise the delivery of aid first hand and and met many Muslim refugees living in no-mans land. As was clearly evident, our children and elderly were suffering the most. Please help them.

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

Sponsor an Orphan Girl TV Telethon 21st July 2013 Ramadan TV Sky 192

We are doing a live TV appeal to help support young and vulnerable orphan girls on Ramadan TV Sky Channel 192 on Sunday 21st July with special hosts Rashid Khan from Make Bradford British and Tommy Evans.


Appeal Background:

In the developing world, orphans start life without adequate means of care, learning, protection and nutrition. But orphaned girls are particularly vulnerable.

Many orphaned girls are exploited and find themselves being abused or sold into gangs who mistreat and humiliate them.

Hundreds of thousands of young women are trapped in such appalling and cruel circumstances, simply because they were unfortunate enough to grow up as orphans. In an effort to promote the Third Millennium Development goal of the United Nations which is to promote gender equality and empower women, we are aiming to support as many young orphaned girls as we can this
year.

Orphan sponsorship in Islam The Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said "I, and the one who looks after an orphan, will be together like this in the next world", then he raised his index and middle fingers together. (Muslim)

How our orphan sponsorship scheme works:

- You can sponsor a child from 94 pence a day.

- We call it one to one sponsorship where you will be the exclusive sponsor and receive full details of the child.

- You have an opportunity to receive occasional reports, pictures and other updates from your sponsored child to get progress on how they are doing.

- You are welcome to write to your sponsored orphan

Orphan Examples:

Zunaira’s Story:

Zunaira’s father Masab Ali passed away with sudden heart failure, she is in class four and wants to be teacher to help support her mother. She has one younger brother and they have no sources of income apart from sponsorship.

Shaid Story:

Shaid Ali is 10 and from Gaza, her father passed way in 2006 when she was just 3 years old. She and her three siblings live with their mother in a small room.

Global Orphan Facts:

- 132 million children are classified as orphans who have lost one of their parents and 13 million who have lost both parents

- Every day 5,760 children become orphans

- Every year 14,050,000 children grow up as orphans and age out of the system

- Every 2.2 Seconds, another orphan child ages out with no family
to belong to and no place to call home

Sponsor a girl like Zunaira or Shaid today:

£28 could provide free food, education and daily maintenance as well as transport and health care for an orphan for one month, £336 will provide the same provisions for a whole year.
