Sadaqah Jariyah in Syria: Reviving an Olive Oil Workshop 2024

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.

Crypto Aid to the Displaced People of Gaza

Aid to the Displaced People of Gaza: Report August 9, 2024

How Cryptocurrency Can Aid Humanitarian Efforts in Gaza

In the wake of the recent devastation on August 9 and 10, 2024 in Khan Younis, Gaza, our Islamic charity is stepping up to provide essential aid to over 70,000 displaced individuals. These people are in dire need of basic necessities such as water, food, and shelter. As we navigate these challenging times, we are exploring innovative ways to support our humanitarian efforts, including the use of cryptocurrency for donations. We had seen these damages in this area in July 2024, and for that we also presented a report on the events of Gaza and Khan Younis, which you can read here.

The Urgency of the Situation

The recent events on August 9 and 10, 2024, have left a significant portion of the Gaza region in ruins. Families have been uprooted, homes destroyed, and the basic infrastructure needed for daily life severely compromised. The immediate need is to provide safe water and food, including dry and canned goods, to those affected. Our priority is to guide these displaced individuals to safer areas, particularly towards the southern parts of the region and the western border with Egypt, where we can offer more comprehensive support, including clothing, shelter, and healthcare.

Why Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency offers a unique and efficient way to support our humanitarian efforts. By using crypto donations, we can ensure that funds are transferred quickly and securely, without the delays and fees associated with traditional banking systems. This is particularly crucial in emergency situations where time is of the essence. Additionally, crypto donations can be made anonymously, allowing silent donors to contribute without revealing their identities, which can be important for those who prefer to keep their charitable giving private.

How You Can Help

We invite you to join us in our mission to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. By donating cryptocurrency, you can help us deliver essential resources to those in need. Your contributions will go directly towards providing safe water, food, and shelter to the displaced families in Khan Younis. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring hope to those who are suffering.

A Lifeline for Displaced Families in Gaza

In these trying times, it is more important than ever to come together and support those in need. Our Islamic charity is committed to providing the necessary aid to the people of Gaza, and with your help, we can make a difference. Whether you choose to donate anonymously or openly, your support is invaluable. Let us work together to bring relief and hope to the people of Khan Younis.

Sponsor of 49 orphans in the academic year: Report 2023-2024

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 for children: 8 laptops to support back to school

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.

Join us in our mission to provide quality education to children in the Middle East. Donate cryptocurrency today and be a part of creating a better world.

Combating Climate Change with Crypto donate

Combating Climate Change with Crypto: 3 initiatives in Islamic charity

Combating Climate Change and Protecting Communities: A Guide for Muslim Crypto Donors

As Muslims, we are called upon to be stewards of the Earth and care for those in need. Climate change and harmful UV radiation pose a significant threat to our planet and its inhabitants, disproportionately impacting developing countries. But there’s hope! By leveraging innovative solutions and the power of cryptocurrency donations, we can make a real difference.

This guide explores several low-cost, high-impact projects that our Islamic charity, alongside dedicated donors like you, can implement to combat these challenges:

Creating Cooler Cities: The Cool Roofs Initiative

Imagine a world where homes stay naturally cooler, reducing energy consumption and the urban heat island effect. The Cool Roofs Initiative does just that! By encouraging residents to paint or coat rooftops with highly reflective materials, typically white or light colors, we can significantly decrease building temperatures. This translates to lower electricity bills, improved indoor comfort, and potentially less air pollution. Additionally, this approach can help reduce heat-related illnesses, a growing concern in many regions.

We can achieve this by:

Raising awareness: Educational campaigns and workshops explaining the benefits of cool roofs to local communities.
Partnering with local businesses: Collaborating with paint manufacturers to offer discounts or subsidies for reflective coatings.
Providing resources: Creating a network of volunteers who can assist with painting or coating projects for those in need.

This initiative not only tackles climate change but also empowers communities by promoting collaboration and self-sufficiency.

Cultivating Green Havens: Urban Green Spaces

Imagine lush parks and vibrant community gardens transforming concrete jungles into thriving ecosystems. This vision is the driving force behind our Urban Green Spaces project. By creating or expanding green spaces within urban areas, we can provide much-needed shade, improve air quality, and further mitigate the urban heat island effect.

The benefits extend beyond the environment. Studies show that access to green spaces can lead to improved public health, reduced stress levels, and enhanced biodiversity. Additionally, these spaces can function as community hubs, fostering social interaction and promoting a sense of well-being.

A Story of Success: Afar region of Ethiopia 2023

In 2023, our Islamic charity, in collaboration with local trustees in the Afar region of Ethiopia, implemented this project. We witnessed firsthand the positive impact on the community. The creation of parks and green spaces not only provided much-needed shade and improved air quality but also served as a gathering point for families and social activities.

This experience underscores the importance of tailoring projects to specific regional and cultural contexts. We will continue to build upon these successes, replicating this model in other developing countries.

Capacity Building: Workshops to Local Communities

The key to sustainable change lies not just in implementing projects but in empowering communities to maintain and build upon them. This is where our focus on capacity building comes in.

We believe in investing in training and education to equip local communities, especially the youth, with the skills and knowledge necessary to address environmental challenges. This might involve workshops on sustainable agricultural practices, renewable energy technologies, or even project management.

Why Capacity Building?

Imagine a community where young people, armed with the knowledge and skills gained from our workshops, spearhead initiatives like creating and maintaining community gardens or promoting the use of solar power. Their energy and enthusiasm are crucial for long-term success. In our experience, follow-up workshops where these young people share their strategies and activities further encourage participation and ensure the project’s longevity.

By fostering a culture of learning and action, we can empower communities to become active participants in creating a more sustainable future.

Be Stewards of the Earth

The fight against climate change and UV radiation requires a multi-faceted approach. Our Islamic charity, with the support of generous crypto donors like you, is committed to implementing these low-cost, high-impact projects.

Through the Cool Roofs Initiative, we can create cooler cities. By expanding Urban Green Spaces, we can cultivate green havens for communities. And by investing in Capacity Building, we can empower future generations to be stewards of the Earth.

Remember, every donation, big or small, can make a difference. Donate anonymously using cryptocurrency and join us in creating a lasting positive impact on our planet and its inhabitants.

Together, we can build a more sustainable future for all.
