Story
This Arbaeen, Insh'Allah I'll be walking from Najaf to Karbala.
The money you sponsor will provide essential educational items such as backpacks, stationery, uniforms and shoes to thousands of orphans in need. This encourages the orphans to continue with their education and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
The orphans of Karbala today live in the same land as the children of Imam Hussain (a.s). You can help as many of them, and those throughout Iraq. Please give these orphans a chance to have a better life.
All your donations will go directly to funding this project Back2School by Noor Orphans Fund. http://noororphansfund.org.

About the project:
Our Education support scheme was launched in the summer of 2013. We know that by helping the orphans gain an education they will be equipped to break out of the cycle of poverty and realise a better future for themselves and their families.Though public schools are funded by the government in Iraq, deprived families often struggle to send their children to school due to not being able to afford stationery costs, uniforms and transport to and from school. As a result, the orphans do not attend school while some are forced to work in order to support their family and therefore drop out of school all together. At Noor Orphans Fund we are working to make sure the orphans continue with their education and are given a chance for a brighter future. It only costs £20 to send a child to school this September. By raising money to pay for uniforms, stationery, shoes and a backpack, we can ensure that orphans have the chance that every child deserves access to an education and thus better
