Nearby Sayyida Zainab’s (SA) shrine in Damascus, Syria live orphans, widows, and refugees who are struggling for jobs, shelter, food and dignity while living below the poverty line.
Before the Holy month of Ramadhan, The Khoja Shia World Federation’s office in Damascus reported that over 49 of these families are living in desperate conditions.
The Ramadhan Relief Fund is such a welcome relief from the bleakness so many families face in Syria. With your support, we can provide our brothers and sisters there with cash gifts to help alleviate some of their struggles during the Holy month of Ramadhan.
