If youre donating from the UK, kindly read this message before proceeding.
Gift Aid it! Gift Aid is a scheme which enables registered charities like My SXB Foundation to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer. Reclaiming tax on your donation will increase it by 25% (thats £25 on every £100 donated!). Claiming gift aid will also help make us a more sustainable charity that is less reliant on donations.
The Campaign
This Ramadan, My SXB Foundation is excited to launch the Back to School project as the first of our Education initiatives. The mission of the Foundation is to empower young people by improving their access to resources and information.
The aim of the project is to sponsor the education and living expenses of 10 children for one year. Whilst the initial focus had been on covering the cost related to their schooling only, the project had to be expanded to cover their living expenses as one of the major obstacles to their education was the pressing need to work in the city to cover their family's daily food expenses. The money raised will cover the following for one year:
- Monthly food expenses
- School fees
- Transport
- School books and uniform
- Eid gifts
Say, O Prophet, “Surely my Lord gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills of His servants. And whatever you spend in charity, He will compensate for it. For He is the Best Provider.” Quran 34:39
The Prophet
said: “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: sadaqah jariyah, knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him. [Muslim].
This project is both a sadaqah jaariyah and beneficial knowledge. Please donate generously and reap the reward this Ramadan!
