Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated after a month of fasting and sighting of the new moon. The moon sighting is met with joy and jubilation to celebrate the end of the fasting month. Eid-ul-Fitr is marked by food, festivities, Eidis (money packets for children) and new clothes. While this may be a joyous occasion met with happiness and smiles for many this is not the case. So many children in Pakistan live below the poverty line which means having three square meals a day is a blessing.
While we can’t the change the lives many but at NUR Foundation School we make sure that every Eid the children of the school receive a new set of clothes for Eid. The children come from impoverished backgrounds and while giving them an education will take them forward in the future but seeing there joy makes all the effort worthwhile
This has only been possible with the support of donors and we hope the support will continue.
However, with rising costs it is becoming difficult with each passing year and we will like your support so we can continue with our tradition so we can see the bright light in each child’s eyes which has been dimmed by the reality of their lives.
