SHARJAH, 14th February, 2025 (WAM) -- The Sharjah Social Empowerment Foundation (SSEF) has initiated its seasonal Ramadan campaign "Zakki," which seeks to offer assistance to orphaned families in Sharjah as well as the central and eastern areas of the emirate.
This year, the campaign aims to support more than 2,800 orphans from 1,181 families to foster social solidarity and guarantee that zakat funds and donations are directed to families in need.
The "Zakki" Ramadan campaign features several important projects, with the "Zakat project" standing out as one of the most significant. Following Sharia rules, this project makes it easier for zakat funds to be sent directly to families who need them.
The "Ramadan Provision" addresses the needs of families during the month, while the "Iftar for Them" project aims to provide meals during the fasting hours of Ramadan. The "Ramadan Gift" project provides Ramadan gifts to new families joining the foundation or those facing particular social challenges.
Mona bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, Director-General of SSEF, announced that the "Zakki" campaign is a key annual project that the foundation is dedicated to launching prior to the commencement of Ramadan.
Al Suwaidi explained that the campaign is not merely focused on collecting donations; it represents a comprehensive initiative embodying the community's spirit of cooperation and support. Through its diverse projects, the foundation aims to improve the living standards of families and ensure that Ramadan becomes a time of goodness and joy for them.
