Story

Asalamulikum/Hello

My daughter, Hannah (9 years old), has set a challenge of completing 20km of walking before Ramadan. My running friends from Red- Star Bengal FC will also run 200km in order to support the cause helping to rescue as many children as possible from the streets of Dhaka and reuniting them with their families.

After watching Muslim Charity's street children video during last Ramadan, Hannah was able to reflect and appreciate how fortunate she is having a family and home. As a result , she wanted to do something for the Street Children. 

Hannah is hoping with her efforts she can raise donations to rescue as many children as possible from the streets but most importantly raising awareness of the daily struggles and hardship the children are facing on the streets. 

Background Street Children Bangladesh

According to the UN, there are an estimated 600,000 street children in Bangladesh. Often they are abandoned or trafficked into the most unspeakable of situations and face the dangers and perils of street life. Children in most cases are running away from violence or abuse and end in up in Dhaka at several entry points such as the ferry terminal, bus terminal, and central train stations.

These children are then either trafficked into brothels, sex work, or assimilated into street gangs. Children are often used in syndicated begging gangs or used as drug mules.

The drug of ‘choice’ amongst street children is called Dandy which is made up of shoe polish and glue or a cocktail of pain killers and sleeping pills. Children very quickly become dependent on these drugs as a way of escape and end up selling drugs to other children to support their own addiction.

Muslim Charity has been serving humanity for over 21 years and has been rescuing street children for over 6 years; so far they have saved over 10,000 children and reunited 100s of lost children with families.

Our outreach workers are engaging with the street children at  different entry points such as the ferry terminal, bus terminal, and central train stations  Once rescued after being registered at the local police station they are taken to our transitional shelter,where the healing process begins.

Our primary objective in Muslim Charity is for all children to be with a loving family be it their own or with caring relatives if it is safe and possible. Where it is not safe for a child to be reunited with family (or no family at all) we will place the child at our children's home or partner orphanages. 

No child deserves to be on the streets; you can help change this.

How you can help:

£25 donation can rescue 1 child from the streets.

£50 donation can rescue 2 children.

£100 donation can rescue 4 children.

£500 donation can rescue 20 children.
