Digital Deeds – 9 Projects to Donate to This Ramadan on LaunchGood

by in Culture & Lifestyle on 15th May, 2020

LaunchGood

LaunchGood is filled with projects that are changing the world, from helping Muslims get an education to ensuring food and hygiene is delivered in areas of conflict. Here are some of our favourite projects!

As we are trying to make the most of the last 10 days, you can automate your donations with LaunchGood to increase your chances of your donation falling on the blessed night of Laylatul Qadr. While automating your donation may feel a bit new age and a stark contrast to dropping a few coins in the mosque donation box, if you set your intention, you can get the reward for donating while you focus on other acts of worship!

This article is sponsored* by LaunchGood as we try and raise awareness of the brilliant project they are hosting this Ramadan.

You can find out more about their automated and single donations here

1. Teach New Muslims their Deen — The Bissau Project

Provide Islamic Education for new Muslims, Eid packs, Iftaar and Suhoor every day.

LaunchGood

Guinea-Bissau is one of the world’s poorest and most unstable nations. In that country, almost 2,000 people from one of the most remote and untouched villages in Guinea-Bissau have already accepted Islam. The numbers keep growing, and right now, you could help sponsor 3,000 villagers and their education, and livelihood.

Your generous donation will allow The Bissau Project to continue our hard work well into the future by creating long-term means of sustenance for the various tribes, Islamic educational resources, and teachers for the different villages.

3. Support Those Suffering From Domestic Abuse

Domestic violence cases are on the rise. Calls to national helplines have gone up by 50%.

Ramadan with Nour

There have already been so many cases of women killed in the lockdown that are suspected or confirmed cases of domestic abuse-related deaths. Muslim women often find it difficult to reach out to mainstream services. Ramadan is the month when we see a spike in the requests for help, sadly. Your money can help our charity keep running for another year so we can provide critical services to those in need.

Vulnerable segments in society are facing the hardest times. Your donation will provide hot iftar meals to those in need. You could provide 10 people with a hot iftar for £30.

7. Help To Keep These Mosques In Glasgow Open

Our Mosques are not just places to pray. They are places to learn. They are places to grow. They are places to connect – with each other and with Allah.

However, for the first time in history – mosques around the world are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While businesses and charities are being bailed out by governments and banks – who will bail our the Houses of Allah?

#SupportOurMosques is our chance to fundraise for our local mosques.

8. Help Build The Roof of This Mosque in America

The W.D Mohammed Islamic Center in America is trying to renovate to become a beautiful place of worship.

“When a man passes away, his good deeds will also come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah, a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for the deceased.”

Narrated by Abu Hurairah, Sahih Muslim
