Give Ramadan Dates/Khajoor to Orphans in Pakistan

Dear Supporters and Benefactors,

With immense gratitude and pride, we present the project report for distributing Ramadan dates (Khajoor) to orphans residing in various orphanages, including the SOS Children's Villages of Sindh, Hooseni Yateem Khana Waqf, Abdul Sattar Edhi Foundation, and others.

Project Overview:
During the holy month of Ramadan, our organization embarks annually on a mission to bring joy and comfort to the lives of orphaned children by providing them with nutritious and delicious dates. Ramadan, a time of reflection, generosity, and compassion, offered us the perfect opportunity to extend our love and support to those less fortunate.

Project Execution:

1- Coordination with Orphanages: Our team initiated discussions and collaborated closely with the management teams of the SOS Children's Villages of Sindh, Hooseni Yateem Khana Waqf, and Abdul Sattar Edhi Foundation to ensure a seamless distribution process.

2- Date Procurement: We sourced high-quality dates from trusted suppliers, emphasizing the importance of providing not only sustenance but also a sense of dignity to the orphans.

3- Distribution Drive: Volunteers from our organization, along with the staff from the respective orphanages, organized distribution drives to ensure that every orphan received a generous supply of dates.

Project Impact:
The impact of this initiative was profound and heartwarming. Through your generous support, we were able to:

• Provide nutritious dates to over 5,500 orphaned children.
• Create smiles and moments of happiness during the blessed month of Ramadan.
• Foster a sense of community and unity among the orphans.

Gratitude:
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each one of you who contributed to this project, whether through donations, time, or resources. Your support made it possible for us to make a positive difference in the lives of these orphaned children.

Next Steps:
Our commitment to these children does not end here. We are actively exploring further initiatives to continue supporting these orphanages throughout the year, ensuring that these children receive the care, education, and love they deserve for the upcoming Ramadan.

Conclusion:
In the spirit of Ramadan and humanitarian values, we believe that it is our collective duty to support and uplift those who need it the most. Together, we have made a meaningful impact on the lives of these orphans, and we look forward to more opportunities to make a difference. We request you continue to give and spread the word. If you can give weekly or monthly, we can feed thousands of more orphans this Ramadan.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support and compassion.

With warm regards,

Eid Mubarak!  Giving in Ramadan is tradition and greatly meaningful and full of blessings.  Thank you for helping us make so many children happy and be included in our Ramadan traditions like having khajoor and feeling special and seen. We’ve been visiting the orphanages and spending time with the children, learning their likes and preferences, which are pizza, ice cream, ice golas, jelabis, and burgers.  Pizza continues to be the overwhelming favourite and this Eid, we continued to give candy boxes!

One little boy, Ahsan (name changed), 8, surprised me with taking little tiny candy beads and putting them on one of the cupcakes and offering it to me as a present.  Isn't that the sweetest thing ever? My heart simply melted and i don't think has recovered.

We also have an opportunity - with your help - to distribute dates next year to all children orphanages including SOS Villages Pakistan and others all over the nation. This is a massive impactful project and we would welcome major contributions from you and every one you know. But imagine the impact. Imagine how simple coordination and delivery could transform joy, create inclusion and bring Ramadan's blessings, not just requirements to so many.

In order to make this happen, we need to start from now. Making alliances with corporations and building funds to order and allocate for necesssry items and logistics.

Imagine the impact of what began with you. You being a part of this. So please start giving monthly under our recurring programme for Ramandan 2020. Whether you start with $10 a month or $1000 a month, imagine your impact.

Thank you!
