For the 12th year running, SimplyIslam.sg is running its annual Ramadhan project, the Ramadan Charity Basket. This year, the organisation aims to provide food and financial help to about 250 needy families in Singapore in time for Eid al-Fitr.
According to the organisation's Facebook page, the goal is to raise S$80,000 to continue providing for over 250 needy families this Eid. Each charity basket contains rice, milk, sugar, dry foods and other basic amenities, including Eid novelties, and some cash.
SimplyIslam began with Muslim Kidney Action Association (MKAC) as a partner. The organisation provides care and support to Muslims who are suffering from kidney failure and chronic ailments, and provides financial assistance to the families concerned.
Over the years, more partners have come on board, increasing the number of Ramadan Charity Basket recipients. Besides MKAC, SimplyIslam is also helping recipients from the Marine Parade Community Club. The CC supports needy recipients living in Marine Parade, and in collaboration with the Malay Activity Executive Committee (MAEC), the needy recipients from Marine Parade will receive Ramadan Charity Baskets.
Nearby Darul Aman Mosque will also contribute beneficiaries. The poor and needy residents under the care of the Darul Aman Mosque will receive the goodies of the Ramadan Charity Basket. Also in the list are needy residents who live along Pasir Ris Drive 3. According to SimplyIslam, many are old, ailing and unable to work.
The As-Siddiq Centre for Islamic Studies, or SimplyIslam, is a private organisation dedicated towards education, social and community development, literary services and humanitarian services to facilitate progression of society.
