This Ramadan I will be completing 1 Million Steps in 30 days while fasting in order to raise money to rescue 100 street children in Bangladesh.

I am just asking for 100 people to donate £25 each and together we could change the lives of these children.

I myself have witnessed these street children and have been there on the streets with professionals guiding them to a better life and also connecting them back with their families.

1.5 million children in Bangladesh are living on the street tonight. With your help, we can protect them, bring them to safety and save them.

In Bangladesh, over 50% of the population live below the poverty line, which can lead to an increase in child abandonment and suffering. It is estimated that in the capital city, Dhaka, more than 500,000 street children are living on the street. There are accounts of children getting caught up in gang disputes and violence, carrying weapons and taking part in illegal activities.

Where possible, we strive to reunite street children with their families, many of whom have been abandoned due to poverty or following the death of a parent. However, this is not always possible, nor is it always best for the child, as the child could be at risk. In reuniting families and reintegrating the child into their homes, we seek absolute certainty about the child’s safety and the family’s ability to provide everything the child needs. The long-term partnerships we have established with government residential facilities and partner charity boarding schools enable us to ensure that the children who are referred there are always safe and cared for with long-term goals in mind.

This project is Zakat eligible- please mention zakat when donating.
