Update: We have met our goal for 2 wells!!! Thank you for your generosity! Let’s try for a 3rd well! Any money left over will go to providing food packages to the Muslims in India suffering from the lockdown.
In Ramadan, May 2018, the kids in our family launched their first try at fundraising for charity. It all began with an oversized box from Sanitec and a bright idea to earn money. The kids began with a simple lemonade stand using our overproducing lemon tree.
All the kids in our family pitched in to help run this lemonade stand. They sold lemonade every Friday at Masjid Al-Shareef in Long Beach; and every Saturday at our family iftaars. The kids met their $1800 goal to build a well through IMRC (Indian Muslim Relief & Charities). Not only did they meet their goal, but their goal was matched! They were able to build 2 wells in india named MARA 1 and MARA 2. The letters MARA represent the last names of the children who worked hard to make that money!
In Ramadan 2019, the kids stepped up their game. Not only did they have a lemonade stand, they also expanded their fundraiser to sell trinkets, homemade items, flowers, crafts, and sweet treats! These kids work hard each week and they even looked the part while all wearing their matching Ramadan t-shirts. The price of wells continue to rise, however our charity crew managed to raise enough money to build yet another well in india!
This year, the kids are sad to not be able to drag out their lemonade stand due to the shelter in place rules, however their charity work is very much still active! Our kids would like to carry on their fundraising and meet their goal of building 1-2 water wells each year, InshaAllah! Now that their fundraising can reach beyond SoCal, they are expecting to earn much more!
This year, the cost of a water well for the Muslims in India is $2400. The kids hope to be able to build 3 wells this year! With your help they will be able to do it! How many children do you know with 3 going on 6 water wells (sadaqah Jariyah) already in their blessing banks before they are even teenagers?!
Please help : Munira, Nurah, Zayd, Esa, Ayah, Ahmad, Abdalla, Gibriel,Mikael, Adam, Zayd, Yusuf, Nuha, Safa, Muhammad, Khalid, Husna, Saleh, & Sulaiman achieve their goal!
