As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatu llāhi wa-barakātuhu.
I truly believe that we all need to be involved with some kind of charity to help the needy, poor and disadvantaged people around the world.
We must all understand what it means to be a charity in the eyes of Allah and discharge our collective responsibility for making the changes necessary to improve the lives of people needing assistance.
It has always been my desire to support underprivileged children. I grew up in a village where I walked a 7-mile round trip every weekday to attend school. On my way I saw poor and disadvantaged children who were unable to attend school due to a lack of clothing and financial support. Some poor children who attended school went bare foot, and worse, without food as they could not afford lunch.
On a personal level I have always done charity work; helping underprivileged people including relatives and homeless people with food. Alhamdulliah, my inspiration to help the poor and disadvantaged comes from my Amma (mother). I have cultivated this trait from an early age to adulthood and marriage.
From an early age I witnessed my mother helping unfortunate individuals and families. A woman beggar used to come to the house almost every morning and sit down on the forecourt for some cooked food or rice as she had not eaten anything on the previous night. My Amma would always find something in her kitchen to give to the woman.
I have also, for a long term, been involved with charity organisations raising funds for good causes. We have helped rebuild houses, provided clothing and Ramadan food packages. With Allah’s blessing, we have assisted young people in the community to get better schooling. Many of the supported children have achieved good education in college or university and moved on to good careers in public service. Some have emigrated and settled in the United States.
We have decided to set up a small charity with a bunch of young, dedicated people to work in a broader area, as the scope of our charity work is ever-expanding. I believe you will come forward to get involved with us for the good causes to help the poor people. May Allah reward you!
I am very excited to dedicate more of my social hours to charity works to help disadvantaged people in Britain and around the world.
As President of the charity I will make it my overriding priority to ensure that our supporters and donors are completely clear as to what we are trying to do. If you wish to be involved with our charity, please fill and return the form to us.
A big thank-you and looking forward to receiving your much-needed support.
Warmest regards,

We are living through unsettled times. Injustice and extreme inequality around the world are getting worse and hundreds of millions of people are frightened, cold, and hungry. The effects of war and poverty in our world of plenty is shameful. And our beautiful planet is suffering as global warming causes irreversible climate change. The seasons they are changing, weather patterns are becoming ever more unpredictable as the seas rise and the forests burn. Mother Earth weeps as she floats in the heavens around the majestic Sun. She cries out for her human family to turn away from the selfish and destructive behavior that consumes us.
Friends: when we hurt the earth, we hurt ourselves. Why do we hurt ourselves so! The injustice of poverty and greed is possibly the greatest hurt of all. It does not need to be like this. Governments around the world could do much better. They make choices. Go to war or tackle poverty and injustice or; seek an end to war and help those less fortunate than ourselves.
According to the latest report from Oxfam, 26 people own the same amount as the 3.8 billion people who make up the poorest half of humanity, 206 million children will not be going to school tomorrow, 10,000 people die every day due to lack of health care and unpaid work carried out by women is estimated to be in the region of 10 trillion dollars. In our world of plenty this should not be so!
Some governments are doing better than others, some are trying hard to end poverty and injustice, some are just not doing enough. and this is where charities like EastHands step in and try to help. EastHands are a small charity whose ethos comes from the thought that a drop in the ocean is never a drop wasted. EastHands realise that a modest contribution towards a bore-hole for a fresh water well in a Bangladeshi village or assisting to paint a community centre in the East End of London is a drop in the ocean when it comes to tackling and ending world poverty and injustice. Their contribution, no matter how modest, if it helps one family, helps our whole human family and helps to heal our planet.

The devastating effects of climate change are no more a guesswork. Across continents, extreme and contrasting weather became the new normal in the decade that just passed by. The term “climate change” has been rechristened “climate emergency”. Now, weather events displace more people than conflicts in the world. Biblical rainfall in Jakarta, unprecedented wildfires in Australia and Amazon; excessive rains in the Himalayas, severe drought in Bihar, powerful cyclones in Bangladesh. Each climate threat promises to trigger similarly brutal cycles. It is the cascading chaos that reveals the true cruelty of climate change which is the biggest threat human life on the planet has ever faced. As drought, flooding and fires lay claim to headlines and landscapes across the world, and as countries and cities grapple with the cost of it all, the highest price is already being paid — by those who are poor or marginalised. Virtually all countries — whether rich or poor, hot or cold — will suffer economically, but the least developed countries in Africa and Asia will be hit hardest.
Climate change has caused income inequality and injustice and directly impacted the food production. Irregular rainfall, more frequent heat waves and storms, forest fires and droughts, flooding and erosion of coastal low-lying areas, tidal surges, rising seas, increasing salinity of soil – all have affected the agriculture, health, education and on these continents.
In Bangladesh, rising sea levels and more extreme heat and more intense cyclones are threatening food production, livelihoods of the poor and the vulnerable, and infrastructure as well as slowing the reduction on poverty. Climate change is displacing people and causing mass migration to cities burdened with meeting the needs of a dense population
Some governments are doing worthwhile efforts, but much of the fight against global climate crisis falls heavily on the charity and nonprofit sector. And so, in these critical times, EastHands will dedicate its efforts to tackle climate change consequences by doing research and executing projects in dangerous countries of Asia and Africa. It will build awareness and use platforms to push climate change up boardroom agendas. At EastHands, we want to do real work towards protecting and enriching human lives and the environment. Getting involved in our charity work will be a great way for you to help fight against climate change and make a real difference to your children’s future
