As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, we are reminded of the profound significance of compassion, generosity, and unity. Ramadan presents a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable people.
As New Beginnings enters its 39th year of connecting children to loving, secure, permanent families, we ask you to contribute to the work being done for vulnerable children in Morocco. Our commitment is to all children in institutionalized care, regardless of their relationship to adoption. Each child has the right to thrive in healthy, safe surroundings where they can meet their full potential on their way to a permanent family.
This year, all donations made during the Ramadan fundraising period will be used for the following needs.
Orphanage Support
Our partner orphanages in Tangier and Meknes need support to ensure an adequate level of basic supplies, such as formula (including specialized formula for allergies, digestive issues, etc.), diapers, bedding, equipment, and facility maintenance. The average per-day food cost for our orphanage partners is $1,500. This year, La Creche (Tangier) is requesting funds for the purchase of a dental chair and for the acquisition of therapy equipment for children with physical disabilities.
NB Kafala Grant Fund
This fund, overseen by the Board of Directors of New Beginnings, offers grants to families who are in the process of adopting an older child, siblings, a child with identified cognitive or physical needs, or a child relative who has been orphaned unexpectedly. The grants are awarded based on need and offset the cost of the kafala and adoption process. Past grant recipients report that without the NB Kafala Grant Fund, they would not been able to proceed with the process.
Your 2024 Ramadan contribution will go to the needs described above. These donations are 100% Zakat eligible, as the funds benefit Morocco’s most vulnerable children. Without the safety and care of the orphanage, these children would be without food and shelter and in grave danger of exploitation.
Thank you for allowing us to act as the steward of your Zakat. The vulnerable children of Morocco will be forever positively impacted by your generous donations.
