Revitalise their hope for Hari Raya celebrations this Ramadan

Help us raise $21,773 this Ramadan for 144 adults and 79 children.

Ramadan is well-known even to non-Muslims as a time when Muslims around the world abstain from eating and drinking. Before dawn breaks until sunset blankets the skies, the experience of hunger and thirst aims to paint an understanding of the meaning of gratitude to those who fast. This process of self-reflection is done for a month before Hari Raya celebrations. But the practice itself goes beyond an act of abstinence – taking oneself into a world of those whose lives are beleaguered into subsistence.

With regulations easing up, many families will finally get the chance to revel in the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations. But for some, Hari Raya will remain a quiet affair that looks no different from the daily struggles that they go through. But we believe that you can change that.

A Stout Heart

For Mdm Hariati, taking care of her children and her sick, elderly mother weighs heavily on her daily. Yet, behind her sad gaze, one can still see a slight smile on her – a sign of hope for better days to come and a Hari Raya befitting her boisterous children. [Read more of Mdm Hariati’s story here.]

The Spirit of a Community

Mdm Rafiah was once known as a vibrant volunteer in her neighbourhood, but her deteriorating health has stopped her from continuing one of the things that bring her so much joy. The atmosphere of having friends and neighbours around her when she was still active is something she dearly missed, especially during a festive period like Hari Raya.

Every Ramadan, we want to ensure that our beneficiaries are not left out of the Hari Raya celebrations because of their circumstances. With your help, Ray of Hope aims to raise $21,773 for families in need (144 adults and 79 children).

Following the spirit of last year’s Iftar Project, Ray of Hope and a team of volunteers will once again deliver food straight to our Muslim beneficiaries’ homes on the first day of Ramadan. On top of the fundraiser, we want our beneficiaries to break their fast on the first day of Ramadan with good food that they can enjoy with the whole family. In case you missed it, here is a video from last year’s delivery:

We need your help to make this a reality. Be a part of our community of donors. Even the littlest of donations can create the greatest impact on someone’s life.
