Assalamualaikum dear Launchgooders!

The kingdom of Malaysia has welcomed refugees from all over the world; despite finding safety, many struggle daily to secure their basic needs. Among them are over 50 Somalian refugee women, some of whom are upbringing orphans and live under harsh circumstances.

The challenges faced by this community of Somali women and children are pressing, requiring prompt assistance to prevent dire consequences. Without timely support, these women may be forced into working double shifts, significantly increasing their risk of exposure. Being UN card holders, they are prohibited from working in the country, leaving them susceptible to potential discovery by authorities and subsequent deportation to their devastated home countries at any moment. It is imperative that we act swiftly to provide them with the necessary support.

On a daily basis, these Somali women and children encounter various hardships, including securing food and basic living amenities, accessing essential resources, providing their children with school supplies and appropriate clothing, and coping with the challenges posed by a rising cost of living. Addressing these issues is crucial to ensuring the well-being of this vulnerable community.

Allaah S.W.T says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Worship Allaah and join none with Him (in worship), and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masaakeen (the poor), the neighbour who is near to kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. “Verily, Allaah does not like such as are proud and boastful.” – [al-Nisa’ 4:36] 

The only job available to these Somalian refugees is to work as house cleaners. In addition to working informally, they can only get a maximum of four jobs per week and only earn around RM95 for a full day’s work. They lack health insurance, retirement plans, and work contracts. Their basic needs far outweigh their income. Many of these women are raising three to four children, and they must also pay rent, utilities, transportation, and school fees. As the Muslim Ummah, we are responsible for helping our brothers and sisters in need. By donating to this campaign, you can help make a difference in the lives of these hardworking women and their children

In this campaign, we aim to provide RM4599 for each family. This will cover the following:

• RM945 for rent
• RM2000 for three months of food essentials
• RM709 for UNHCR school fees for one child
• RM945 for transportation and utilities fees for one month

As the Muslim Ummah, we are responsible for helping our brothers and sisters in need. By donating to this campaign, you can help make a difference in the lives of these hardworking women and their children. Please consider sharing your blessings toward making a better and brighter life for these needy refugees.

A man once asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), “Which aspect of Islam is best?” He replied, “Feeding people and greeting those you know and those you don’t know.”

When you donate to this campaign, you will not only be helping those in need, but you will also be gaining the pleasure of Allah.

We wish to bring to your attention that Khadijah, in collaboration with Forneedy, has spearheaded the efforts to execute this meaningful project. Your thoughtful consideration in contributing to this cause will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for these vulnerable refugees. We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support in making a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Please donate whatever you can, no matter how small. Every bit will make a difference. May Allah bless you and your loved ones, and may He reward you for your generosity. Ameen.

Thank you for your support!
