Dear Friends

Salamun Alaykum

Once again I will be walking to the shrine of Imam al-Husain (A) from Najaf to Karbala this December, in the company of millions of devotees of the chief of martyrs.

I thought that it would be fitting to present the Imam (A) with a small gift as a token of our ziyarat.

My young friends and I looked around for a worthwhile gift and we have decided on a project to help uplift the very poor standard of life of the people of drought-stricken Northeast Kenya.

The project is an ambitious one, but if together we can make a small difference to their lives in the name of Imam al-Husain (A), how noble that would be!

I thank you for your time and donation in advance - may Allah increase in your livelihood and protect you and your family from adversity - Aameen

Regards Abbas

 

The project details are below:
