These widows and vulnerable women are carrying more than grief — they are carrying their families, their responsibilities, and the daily fight to survive.

Stitch for Hope is here to change that.

This women’s sewing workshop will do more than provide sewing machines. It will give women the training, tools, and opportunity to earn a dignified income, grow in confidence, and build a more independent future for themselves and their children.

Your donation will purchase the machines, cover six months of operations, and create a model that can be replicated in other communities that need it most.

This is what lasting impact looks like: practical support, real skills, and trust in women’s ability to rebuild their lives.

Donate now, share this message, and help stitch hope into the future of Syria.
Please share with your loved ones and duas are more powerful than anything.

At Iqra Charity our Palestinian team on the ground want your support for Umm Ahmed. When the family home was bombed, her husband was martyred. Displacement is causing the children with cerebral palsy, seizures, blindness and severe pain. TThe money raised will help to build rooms for the family out of tarps or wood giving them a small private space. And supply urgently needed medicines.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Whoever relieves a believer's distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter." (Sahih Muslim)

Even before October 2023, Gaza's fishermen operated under impossible Israeli restrictions. What should have been Gaza's lifeline to the sea became another weapon of control. But when the genocide began, everything changed with wholescale destruction of the sector - boats, seaport, everything.
Uncle Fateh needs:
- Medication for his leg and other health conditions
- A new tent (current one is inadequate for 12 people)
- Monthly support for 2-3 months to survive

Every donation, every share, every prayer matters. The fishermen of Gaza have lost everything but not their dignity. Let's restore some dignity and hope.

Dear Friends

For the first time in decades, Syrian families are preparing to celebrate Eid al-Adha without fear of bombs or persecution.
But the reality is still so hard. I am shocked by the level of absolute poverty, homelessness and daily food insecurity.

This Dhul Hijjah, I’m inviting you to let the beautiful Qurbani sunnah say: “Syria, we haven’t forgotten you.”

Please donate now — and help heal lives with your blessed sacrifice.
