Alhamdulillah this December we have been blessed with the opportunity to visit the holy lands of Najaf and Karbala in Iraq. As part of our trip we shall be walking 80km from Najaf to the shrine of Imam Hussein [a.s] – the grandson of the Holy Prophet in Karbala - alongside millions of people from different parts of the world to complete the walk through war-torn Iraq across 3 days.

As a token of appreciation to the Imam who gave his life fighting against oppression and tyranny, we are raising funds to help improve the living conditions of the poor and needy in parts of Kenya.

Therefore we would greatly appreciate any donation – however small it may be – to help us reach our target of £1000.

This year we've worked alongside the World Federation to come up with a £137,000 project that will aim to improve water supply, food production, health, education and socio-economic status of the poor and needy in the Garissa and Wajir Counties of Northeast Kenya. 

We aim to do this through the following:

1. To construct a borehole in Boransis in Garissa County to improve water supply for the village. 

2. To set up a greenhouse and irrigation and farming system in Boransis village of Garissa County. 

3. To set up a greenhouse and irrigation and farming system in AliKune village of Garissa County. 

4. To set up a greenhouse and irrigation and farming system in Giriftu village, Wajir County.
