It is narrated from Osman bin Affan (ra) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”

We are launching a new project in Madagascar: Hafidh Sponsorship. Currently, there are 450 students receiving education from our team in Madagascar. All of these students are working hard to become hafidh(memorizers of the Qur’an) while also receiving training in hadith and dawah. Most of their families are struggling to make ends meet.
As Need Charity, we wanted to take a step to ease the lives of these students and their families. With this project, we hope that the children will continue their education more comfortably and that we will have planted seeds for the future of the ummah, insha’Allah. Through our project, we aim to gather funds to sponsor each student at a rate of $40 per month or $480 annually.
We invite you to contribute and pray for this project, which offers a great opportunity for sadaqah jariyah.
Another Eid al-Adha is behind us. This year, while the sadness of what is happening in Gaza continued, we also experienced the happiness of reaching Eid al-Adha and delivering meat to those in need.
This year, alhamdulillah, we sacrificed 918 shares of qurban in 6 countries. We are grateful to each of our donors who made this possible. Through your contributions, we were able to deliver meat to approximately 50,000 people. Alhamdulillah, hundreds of families in 6 countries were blessed to have meat, even if just for a day.
Although Eid al-Adha has ended, throughout the year, with the support of our donors, we continue to reach out to those in need through various campaigns such as water wells, food distributions, mosques, and schools. With your support, we strive every day to reach an orphan, to support a family. May Allah be pleased with all of you.
We pray to Allah to bring our ummah to a more beautiful Eid al-Adha next year and to make us witness the freedom and happiness of the people of Gaza.
Eid al-Fitr, the festival that marks the end of Ramadan, is a time of celebration for Muslims around the world. For many families, it is a time to buy new clothes and dress up for the occasion. Unfortunately, for many orphan children in different parts of the world, this is not possible due to their disadvantaged circumstances.
NEED Charity recognizes the importance of Eid celebrations and the joy it brings to children. As part of our commitment to helping those in need, we have launched a campaign to provide Eid clothes to orphan children in Madagascar. Our aim is to give these children a sense of belonging and the opportunity to celebrate Eid with joy and dignity.
To make this campaign a success, NEED Charity is seeking the support of generous donors and sponsors. The cost of one Eid outfit is only $20, you can sponsor 1 or more children’s clothes as you wish.
NEED Charity believes that every child deserves to feel loved and cared for, especially during special occasions like Eid al-Fitr. Our campaign in Madagascar aims to bring smiles to the faces of these orphan children and make their Eid celebrations unforgettable.
Madagascar, an island country on the African continent, is in the Indian Ocean. Mozambique is the closest neighbor to Madagascar, which does not have a land neighbor due to being an island country, except for the small islets around it. Madagascar, which was mostly covered with forest areas while still untouched, started to lose its green color after it was discovered by humans. Currently, only 4% of the country consists of forest areas. Almost half of the country, which has a population of more than 12 million, consists of children and the elders. Half of the country’s population believes in their local religion, while only 7 percent of them are Muslims.
The Famine Brought by Global Warming
Global warming and related problems, which have begun to affect human life more and more each year, are showing their effects very severely in Madagascar. The central parts of Madagascar, which has lost its forest areas day by day, are struggling with drought. Madagascar, whose main livelihood is agriculture, also suffers from poverty and famine due to the existing drought. According to various reports, Madagascar has the unfortunate feature of being the first country to experience famine, not because of war but because of the climate crisis. We can understand the seriousness of the issue by looking at the fact that the local people try to survive by eating cactus leaves. The human body, which is weakened because it cannot get the necessary nutrients, becomes unable to resist many diseases. For this reason, various epidemics and chronic diseases threaten the Madagascar society, about half of which consists of children and the elderly.
A Call for Help Against the Climate Crisis
Due to this terrible situation in front of us, we, as IHCRO, also participated in the charity race. With the support of our donators, we are helping all the people in Madagascar and help the non-Muslim to convert to Islam alhamdulillah. In addition to the 2000 food packages we have distributed so far, we have also distributed the Holy Quran for the Muslim people, because they cannot find any copy of the Holy Quran in Madagascar. We have opened 8 water wells in Madagascar, as well. As we know that the amount of water some of us unfortunately waste is enough for a family to survive, InshaAllah we will continue to open water wells in Madagascar and make awareness-raising posts on our social media accounts.
Malawi is counted as one of the poorest countries in the world. Ranking 173rd among 187 countries in the poverty index, Malawi is struggling with drought, flood and hunger problems. Every day, women and children travel many kilometers to reach food and water. Eighty percent of the population live in rural areas and mostly depend on agriculture from lands that need rain.
In Malawi, where approximately 40% of the population is Muslim, the work of our team has been going on for about two years. In the region, especially water wells, orphan homes, masjids, food distribution, zakat and orphan sponsorship projects are carried out.
Last week, our projects with the participation of our Turkey team were inspected and our House of Jannah Masjid was inaugurated. With the opening of our mosque, which was held with the warm welcome and intense participation of the people of the region, the villages in the region will perform their prayers and receive their training in the Qur’an in this mosque.
IHCRO, International Human Care and Relief Organization, has built hundreds of masjids around the world and will continue to work on the masjid. You can contact us for our charity projects and start our work according to your budget and location priority.
Kenya, whose capital is Nairobi, is a country located in the east of the African continent. Bordering with other African countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan, Kenya also has coasts that open to the Indian Ocean. In Kenya, which has a population of about 50 million, life expectancy is not very long due to bad health conditions. Therefore, the majority of the country’s population consists of children and youth. In Kenya, which is assumed to have a high workforce if we look at the population, although the soil is not very suitable for agriculture, more than half of the population is engaged in agriculture. Besides agriculture, animal husbandry is also an important source of livelihood for the people of Kenya.
Kenya Losing Their Hopes
After successive floods and locust invasions, Kenya is now in danger of drought. The food crisis and various diseases that develop due to drought are increasing day by day. According to the announced data, the number of people in need of urgent food and water assistance has reached 2.1 million. More than 500 thousand children and approximately 100 thousand pregnant or breastfeeding women are among those in need of urgent assistance. After the recent developments, the drought, which was effective especially in the north of the country, also mobilized the authorities. Authorities declared a national disaster in more than 20 administrative districts. Drought alert was issued in 12 regions.
IHCRO in Mobilization of Kenya
As IHCRO, we acted very quickly against the crisis in Kenya. As a matter of fact, we are aware of how important even every minute is in such a situation. Due to the urgency of the issue, we have distributed food packs and clean water to the region primarily to meet the immediate needs of the people in the region. InshaAllah we will continue our efforts to ensure the stability of the region, after securing human life as a priority. Kenyan people need fast access to food support and clean water in order to see the future and bring their hopes to life. May Allah be pleased with all our donors who participated in the appeal we started for this reason.
We distributed three hundred food packs with your support in Somalia, where we started the emergency aid campaign last week. Our packs will support more than one thousand five hundred families.
As we know, Somalia is facing one of the worst droughts ever. Drought makes it difficult to access both water resources and basic foodstuffs. Many people, especially children, are affected by this situation and it causes child deaths.
We do our best to help and support people in need, which is one of the main goals of our organization, when they are most needed, and we work to ensure that the people of the region have access to the most needed food and water. At the same time, we continue to dig our water wells in the region.
We think that it is the duty of each of us to remember that people in many countries of the world are in need of a drop of water and a piece of bread that most of us do not need, and to support them, and we are working hard to deliver basic foodstuffs and water resources to people in need.
As IHCRO, we continue our essential projects such as water wells, food distribution, orphan sponsorships in many countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Niger, Somalia, Bangladesh, Malawi, Haiti, Syria and we expect your support.
