Our precious mother, Saleha Islam, passed away on 18th November 2023 during a visit to Bangladesh - a land she loved.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon (to Allah we belong and to Him is our return).
BACKGROUND
We are raising funds for a sadaqah jaariyah project (charitable initiative with ongoing benefits) - a rural village school in Sylhet, Bangladesh, that serves some of the poorest students in the area, many of whom can't afford to travel to schools further away or afford the tuition fees.
The school is in desperate need of refurbishment.
PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS
- New extension to create a dedicated prayer space
- New, insulated roof
- Fix structural issues
- Replace tables and chairs for students
- Painting and redecorating
- Create outdoor play area
The project will be overseen by trusted members of our family in Bangladesh.
Every child deserves an education - and the chance at a better life.
This project will, God willing, grant that opportunity to some of the poorest children and families in this rural area of Bangladesh.
We need to raise £5,000 to deliver this project. Any additional funds will be used for additional community projects, including the creation of deep wells in the areas of greatest need.
Our mother (may Allah have mercy on her) taught us, through her words and actions, to look after and be of service to those in need - and we pray that this project will continue to benefit her for eternity.
May Allah (subhaanahu was ta'ala) accept these efforts from us, on behalf of our beloved mother, and from you.
We will share updates as the project progresses, insha-Allah.
Aysha, Waheeda, Hanif, Mushtaq & Tasneem (our mum's beloved niece).
