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. 

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.
