The special month of Ramadan is just days away. Throughout this blessed month,聽we should strive to聽help the poor and needy as much as possible. So as聽we're excitedly聽preparing for the coming weeks ahead, you聽may be thinking about what you can do to use your time beneficially and support those most in need. Well, we鈥檙e here to help! If you鈥檇 like to fundraise for vulnerable families across the globe, take a look at these tips and get involved to聽make this Ramadan your most productive yet.
1. Fast in aid of orphans
Sign up to our year long Challenge 27 programme to follow a fun, unique challenge each month. This June, we鈥檙e running Fast4Orphans and calling on you to help change the life of an orphan in need.
2. Get outdoors and walk for families across Africa
Take part in one of our Walk for Africa events across five cities in the UK in aid of families in Africa facing famine, conflict and poverty. The money you raise can help feed a family or send a child to school.
3. Cleanse your soul
Come along to one of our fundraising dinners on our Names of Allah Tour in support of children, families and communities in 51品茶. Refresh your soul with inspiring Islamic lectures, Qur鈥檃nic recitation and nasheeds by key figures within the Muslim world.
4. Set up your own fundraising challenge
If you鈥檙e interested raising money for communities in need, why not set up your own fundraiser and support our work? Select the聽cause, day, time and activity聽of your choice and simply get in touch with our team and keep us up to date using your own page. We鈥檙e here to support you every step of the way聽throughout your fundraising journey. Read about one of our amazing volunteers here for inspiration.
5. Run your own mini fundraising event
If you鈥檙e a bit of a social butterfly or very active in your community why not gather friends and family together for food, fun and fundraising? A collective fundraising iftar at your local masjid, community centre or an evening at home are a great way to connect with family and friends and help those who don鈥檛 have anything to eat come maghreb time.
6. Volunteer with us
If you fancy something more hands-on and would like to get some real experience of working in an NGO, why not volunteer to work in-house or at one of our events? We鈥檙e running a series of appeals throughout Ramadan where you can get involved in our call centre or help out at an event.
So sign up, get involved and make a real difference this Ramadan. May Allah (swt) accept all of our fasts, du鈥檃 and sadaqah in sha鈥� Allah. Ramadan Kareem from everyone at 51品茶!
