Alhamdulillah we are 21 days away from the beautiful and blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah allow us all to witness the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, inshaAllah. 

In the spirit of Ramadan, we have a couple of new infaq projects that will benefit those who are giving, and those who are receiving. Our past Ramadan projects were a success thanks to everyone who has supported us and contributed so generously.

May all the good that we do in Ramadan this year encourage us to continue doing good throughout the rest of the year, inshaAllah.

"When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of Heaven are opened and the gates of Hell closed, and the devils are chained." [Narrated by Bukhari]

How will you give today?

INFAQ Ramadan Iftar Meals 2018

Ramadan Iftar Meals 2018 by Free Food For All (FFFA)

The Messenger of Allah S.A.W said:

This will be the fourth year that Free Food For All organises a campaign to feed those less fortunate, regardless of race or religion in the month of Ramadan.

However, apart from the normal campaign, FFFA has a special campaign to provide Iftar Meals for the needy Muslims who are under the category of fakir and miskin. They aim to provide for 150 of such families in various locations in Singapore.

INFAQ Ramadan Red Meat Project

Alhamdulillah, with the success of our Ramadan Mutton Project 2016 and 2017, this year we are looking to provide red meat to the organisations that benefitted from our Ramadan Mutton projects for the past two years. We also wish to provide meat from this project to a few more beneficiaries. 

This project will help to greatly reduce the costs for organisations that provide bubur iftar for Ramadan 2018.

******

Fresh/Chill Mutton (Less than 1 week of slaughtering)
• 1kg -  $25
• 2kg -  $48
• 5kg -  $120
• 10kg - $230
• (1 sheep) - 18kg $330

- Closing Date for Fresh Mutton: 1st June 2018 -


Frozen Mutton (More than 1 month stored in Freezer)
• 1kg - $20
• 2kg - $38
• 5kg - $90
• 10kg - $178
• (1 sheep) - 18kg $313

Frozen Beef (More than 1 month stored in Freezer)
• 1kg $18

• 5kg $85
• 10kg $165

- Closing Date for Frozen Meat: 8th June 2018 -

All costs for administration & logistics - air flown, cutting and delivery to organisations are already included.

In 2017, we managed to raise more than 4000kg of mutton. However, due to last minute requests, the quantity raised was insufficient, hence some of the organisations had to change to another type of meat for their iftar especially for the last week of Ramadan. This year by starting this project early, we hope to raise more so we can cater to the needs of the organisations. 

For sponsors, you will receive reports of the meat distribution throughout and after Ramadan 2018. Postings will also be broadcasted in IslamicEvents newsletters and blog >> www.islamicevents.sg/blog

INFAQ: Wakf Housing Project in Cambodia

Mission: To aid and provide poor families in Cambodia with proper housing.

While we are living in the comfort of our homes protected from the weather, others in different parts of the world may not share the same fate. Despite working day and night to support their families, they are still too poor to purchase land and build up their own houses. There are thousands of families living in poverty in Cambodia, and some of the houses are simply made of straw (as shown above). In this Wakf project, we aim to aid and provide these families with proper housing. 

INFAQ.SG

This project, managed by Infaq.SG, will help to purchase a small piece of land and build up the houses for these poor families. One of our staff members, who travels every 2-3 months to Cambodia to send support, will be overseeing this project.
