Mpox Resurgence: Protecting Our Communities Together

As a community deeply committed to health and well-being, we’re facing a renewed challenge: the resurgence of Mpox. This highly contagious viral illness, characterized by flu-like symptoms and painful skin lesions, has caused a significant outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and neighboring African countries. This alarming trend has prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare Mpox a public health emergency of international concern.

Over 20000 mpox cases due to MPXV clade I and clade II have been reported from 13 African Union Member States, including over 3000 confirmed cases and over 500 deaths according to the Africa CDC Epidemic Intelligence Report issued on 25 August 2024 and the WHO AFRO weekly report of 23 August.

Protecting the Vulnerable: Children First

Our hearts go out to those impacted by Mpox, particularly children who are especially vulnerable to this disease. We at Our Islamic Charity are actively working in affected areas like the DRC, South Sudan, and Pakistan to reduce infections and protect the most vulnerable populations. Unfortunately, these three countries have a high rate of this disease and it must be addressed and controlled before it spreads nationwide.

Empowering Through Education:

We believe knowledge is power in the fight against Mpox. Our dedicated teams are conducting comprehensive training courses on personal health and hygiene practices, specifically tailored for those who have contracted the disease. This empowers individuals to manage their own well-being and prevent further transmission.

Delivering Relief: Self-Care & Beyond

We’re providing essential self-care solutions and comprehensive health packs to those battling Mpox. These packs contain vital supplies that ease symptoms and promote faster recovery.

Building a Brighter Future: Nationwide Vaccination Efforts

Our most significant initiative is building a robust nationwide vaccination supply chain in the affected countries. This is crucial to prevent further outbreaks and safeguard the health of entire communities. With a focus on children, who are at higher risk, we aim to create a shield of protection through widespread vaccination programs.

Standing Together: Your Crypto Donation Makes a Difference

We understand that many of you share our commitment to protecting vulnerable populations. In this critical time, your Crypto donation can empower our efforts to combat Mpox. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will directly translate into life-saving self-care kits, educational resources, and the development of a sustainable vaccination infrastructure.

Together, we can build healthier communities and ensure a brighter future for all. We urge you to join us in this fight against Mpox. Donate today and make a lasting impact.

Empowering Local Communities: Reviving an Olive Oil Workshop in Syria with Crypto

Imagine a community nestled in the west of the Homs region of Syria. This area, with a significant Muslim population (The Homs region in Syria has a predominantly Muslim population.), faces challenges with limited social and urban services. Yet, amidst these hardships lies immense potential. Here, we, at Our Islamic Charity, are working hand-in-hand with generous crypto donors like you to breathe new life into a long-abandoned olive oil workshop.

This project transcends mere renovation; it’s about empowering local families and revitalizing the community’s economic landscape. Let’s delve deeper into how your crypto contributions are making a tangible difference.

Syria and ISIS in 2024

Is there a war in Syria now?
Yes, the Syrian Civil War is still ongoing.

While the intensity of fighting has decreased in some areas, the conflict continues to cause immense suffering for the Syrian people. There are still multiple factions involved, including the Syrian government, rebel groups, Kurdish forces, and various external actors. For this reason, the Syrian people still need a lot of financial support, because the damage to the infrastructure and the amount of destruction, displacement and poverty are very high.

A Beacon of Hope: Restoring the Olive Oil Workshop

The Homs region boasts a rich history of olive cultivation. However, years of neglect left a local olive oil workshop in ruins. This posed a significant challenge for residents, as extracting oil from their harvested olives became a hurdle. Recognizing this, we joined forces with local trustees and skilled families who possessed the technical expertise to operate the workshop. What they lacked was the financial means to acquire the necessary equipment.

Thanks to your unwavering support through cryptocurrency donations, we were able to bridge this gap. The workshop underwent a complete restoration, and essential equipment was procured. This project wasn’t just about bricks and mortar; it was about reviving a source of income and fostering self-sufficiency within the community.

Beyond Restoration: Creating Sustainable Livelihoods

The restored olive oil workshop serves a dual purpose:

Firstly, it facilitates the efficient collection and processing of olives from nearby groves. This eliminates the need for families to transport their harvest long distances for extraction, saving them both time and resources.

Secondly, and more importantly, the workshop provides a platform for generating halal income.

11 individuals from the community were directly involved in launching this project. Today, equipped with the operational workshop, these families have the means to earn a sustainable living, supporting themselves and their loved ones.

Sadaqah Jariyah: A Lasting Legacy

Sadaqah Jariyah, in Arabic, translates to “ongoing charity.” It refers to charitable deeds that continue to generate rewards even after the initial act. Unlike a one-time donation, Sadaqah Jariyah establishes a perpetual stream of goodness. This concept is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings, emphasizing the importance of sustainable giving.

Our olive oil workshop project in the Homs perfectly embodies the principles of Sadaqah Jariyah. By restoring this facility, we’ve not only provided immediate relief to the community but also created a long-term source of livelihood for many families. The workshop’s continued operation will generate income, support families, and contribute to the overall well-being of the community for years to come.

Each olive pressed, each bottle sold, represents a ripple effect of goodness that extends far beyond the initial investment. Your crypto donation has become a catalyst for a sustainable charity project, a testament to the power of Sadaqah Jariyah.

Voices from the Workshop

  • Amal, 30: “Before this workshop, I struggled to find stable employment. Now, I have a steady income to support my family. I am grateful for this opportunity to contribute to my community while also providing for my loved ones.”
  • Karim, 28: “The workshop has given me a sense of purpose. I’m proud to be part of something that benefits our entire community. It’s more than just a job; it’s a chance to give back.”
  • Leila, 25: “As a young woman, finding work can be challenging. This workshop has empowered me to be financially independent. I’m excited to see how this project will grow and continue to impact our community.”
  • Omar, 32: “I’ve always had a passion for agriculture. This workshop has allowed me to combine my skills with helping others. It’s a dream come true.”

These are just a few of the inspiring stories from the people whose lives have been transformed by the olive oil workshop. Their words are a testament to the impact of your generosity and the enduring power of Sadaqah Jariyah.

This initiative transcends a simple renovation; it’s a testament to the transformative power of collective action. By harnessing the potential of cryptocurrency donations, we’re empowering local communities, fostering economic growth, and ensuring the long-term well-being of residents.

Our Commitment to Orphaned Children: How Crypto Donations Make a Difference

Imagine a young soul, brimming with potential, yet hindered by circumstances beyond their control. This is the reality for countless orphans worldwide. At our Islamic charity, we believe education is the cornerstone for building brighter futures.

Through the unwavering support of our donors, particularly those who generously contribute using cryptocurrency, we’ve made significant strides in providing educational opportunities to orphaned children. In the 2023-2024 academic year alone, we sponsored the education of 49 children across various regions. It includes 26 girls and 23 boys.

Our commitment extends beyond tuition fees. We ensure these children have all the necessary resources to thrive, including school supplies, uniforms, and basic necessities.

Here’s a glimpse into the lives we’ve touched:

  • Eritrea – 8 children: In these challenging regions, we’ve supported 8 children under the age of 10. They represent the hope and resilience of their communities.
  • Somali – 5 children: 5 orphaned children under 10 in Somali received not just educational resources but also a chance to rebuild their lives.
  • Afghanistan, Pakistan – 8 children: We supported the education of 8 young minds under 10 years old, offering them a beacon of hope amidst hardship.
  • Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Palestine – 28 children: These war-torn and underprivileged regions saw 7 children each under 10 receive a chance at a brighter future through education, thanks to your support.

In conflict zones like Palestine, where infrastructure is often damaged, we go the extra mile. We’ve established makeshift classrooms in any available space, ensuring education continues even amidst the devastation. The streets become classrooms, a testament to the unwavering spirit of both the children and our dedicated volunteers.

Restoring Hope: Rebuilding Schools

Every year, as the summer sun begins its descent, our focus shifts towards ensuring that our sponsored children return to safe and conducive learning environments. The ravages of war, natural disasters, and poverty often leave schools in a state of disrepair, hindering the educational journey of countless children.

A Story from Afghanistan 2023

In the heart of Afghanistan, a country scarred by decades of conflict, stood a school that mirrored its surroundings – battered and broken. Its once vibrant classrooms were now shadows of their former selves, with crumbling walls, shattered windows, and a roof that leaked more than it protected. For the children of this community, the school was more than just a place of learning; it was a sanctuary, a beacon of hope.

When our team visited the school in the summer of 2023, the sight was heartbreaking. Desks were broken, books were scattered, and the children’s eyes held a mixture of fear and determination. It was clear that without immediate intervention, the start of the new academic year would be a distant dream.

Determined to restore hope, we initiated a comprehensive rebuilding project. Local craftsmen and skilled volunteers joined hands with our team to breathe new life into the dilapidated school. With every brick laid and every window repaired, we felt a sense of purpose. The school began to transform, its worn-out facade giving way to a vision of a brighter future.

New classrooms were constructed, equipped with desks, chairs, and essential learning materials. The library, once a dusty room, was stocked with books donated by generous supporters. A playground, a place for laughter and play, was created, offering a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of life. You can read the report of this school renovation here.

As the school neared completion, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The children, who had initially been hesitant, were now filled with excitement. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they explored their newly refurbished classrooms. The day the school reopened was a celebration, a testament to the power of human compassion and the unwavering belief in the transformative potential of education.

This was just one of many schools we were privileged to rebuild. Each project is a chapter in the larger story of our commitment to providing quality education to orphaned children.

Every year, we dedicate time and resources to maintaining and rebuilding schools. Our goal is to create conducive learning environments for the upcoming academic year. You can donate crypto for school maintenance and renovation from here.

Education Without Barriers: How Your Crypto Donation Can Empower Yemeni Children

Imagine a classroom brimming with eager young minds, yet lacking the tools to fully explore the vast world of knowledge. This is the reality for many children in Yemen, where poverty often forces them to abandon their education. But here at our Islamic charity, we’re determined to bridge that gap and empower these students with the resources they need to thrive.

This past academic year, your generous donations helped us achieve a significant milestone. We witnessed the heartbreaking impact of poverty firsthand, with several students at two local Yemeni schools dropping out due to a lack of essential tools. Recognizing the critical role technology plays in modern education, we focused our efforts on providing these schools with 8 brand new laptops.

These laptops are more than just machines; they are gateways to a world of learning previously inaccessible. With these resources, students can now engage in virtual education platforms, access a wealth of online information, and enhance their overall learning experience.

But our work didn’t stop there. We understood that access to laptops alone wouldn’t suffice. The next hurdle was ensuring they could be used effectively. Throughout the past year, we persistently followed up with local authorities to establish a reliable internet connection for both schools. This dedication paid off in April 2024, when the internet finally arrived. Now, with both laptops and internet access available, these students can truly unlock the potential of their education.

These achievements, while seemingly simple, represent a long and challenging journey. Your unwavering support, through donations and prayers, has been instrumental in overcoming these hurdles. It’s a testament to the power of collective action and the difference we can make together.

Looking ahead to the 2024-2025 academic year, we remain committed to following up on the educational progress of these students. We strive to be their “Sponsors for Education“, providing continuous support and ensuring they have the resources needed to excel in their studies.

Nurturing Young Minds Across the Middle East

The Middle East is a region rich in culture and history, yet marred by conflict and poverty. Countless children in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, South Lebanon, Palestine, and Yemen are denied the fundamental right to education. These young minds, the future leaders and innovators of their societies, are trapped in a cycle of deprivation.

At our Islamic charity, we believe that education is the key to breaking free from this cycle. It is a powerful tool that can uplift individuals, strengthen communities, and foster lasting change. By providing children with access to quality education, we are investing in their potential and building a brighter future for the entire region.

When a child is educated, they gain the knowledge and skills to become self-sufficient. They develop critical thinking abilities, learn problem-solving techniques, and acquire the confidence to pursue their dreams. Education empowers them to make informed decisions, contribute positively to society, and become active participants in their communities.

Moreover, education is a catalyst for social and economic development. When a population is educated, it is better equipped to address challenges, innovate, and create opportunities. This, in turn, leads to improved healthcare, reduced poverty, and greater stability.

How You Can Help

By sponsoring the education of children in the Middle East, you are not just helping an individual; you are investing in the entire region’s progress. Your generosity will create a ripple effect, benefiting countless lives for generations to come.

Let’s work together to build a brighter future for these children. Your support can make a profound difference in their lives and in the lives of their communities.

Overcoming Challenges in Palestine Aid: Delivering Hope

Imagine the frustration of trying to deliver fresh food to hungry families, only to have it spoil because of unexpected delays. This is a harsh reality for our team at Our Islamic Charity, one of the many challenges we face in bringing aid to those in need across Palestine.

While financial constraints are a constant hurdle, there are other, often unforeseen, obstacles that threaten our ability to deliver vital support. Today, we want to share some of these challenges and the unwavering spirit that keeps us going.

Beyond Financial Hardship: The Daily Struggles

Providing for basic human needs in Palestine requires constant vigilance and adaptation. Security concerns, environmental issues, water scarcity, and the educational well-being of children are just a few of the hurdles we encounter daily.

  • Navigating Checkpoints: Security checks are a necessary part of life in Palestine. However, unexpected delays at checkpoints can have devastating consequences. One of our food trucks was recently held for 72 hours at the entrance to Be’er Sheva. The scorching summer heat turned our fresh ingredients into a rotten mess, causing a significant setback in our food distribution efforts.
  • Reaching Gaza and Rafah: Delivering aid to Gaza and Rafah presents unique challenges. Despite the difficulties, we are committed to maintaining this vital lifeline for those in need.
  • Waste Management Woes: Damage to infrastructure and disrupted waste collection services in war-torn areas create a critical sanitation issue. We actively promote waste reduction and are constantly exploring solutions for creating a more sustainable waste management system.
  • Water: A Precious Commodity: Water scarcity is a constant threat in Palestine. There are times when water rationing becomes unavoidable, forcing us to prioritize its use in essential services.
  • Educating Our Future: The education of Palestinian children, especially those displaced by conflict, is paramount. Despite limited resources, we strive to provide learning opportunities in makeshift tents, on the streets, or wherever space allows. Our mission is to ensure these children don’t fall behind in their education.

The Unwavering Spirit of Our Team

These are just a few of the challenges we face every day. Despite the obstacles, the spirit of our team remains unbroken. We are driven by a deep commitment to serving the most vulnerable members of our community.
