Ali Ibn Abitalib

Overview

Ali Ibn Abi Taleb Charity, located in Bam-Kerman, was established in 2001 by taking 30 kids aged 7-13 age under its wings. Over the past 20 years since its establishment, the charity has supported over 200 children, providing them with educational, financial, and emotional support. The charity’s services include but are not limited to healthcare support programs for children under 18, financial/emotional support packages for in-need families, housing support, financial rehab support for in-need parents, and child therapy. The charity is currently home to 11-15 children.

As mentioned, Bani Mehr is supporting 11 vulnerable children. Here are brief statistics about these children and what grades they are in:

• Elementary Schoolers: 9
• Middle Schoolers: 2

What actions have been taken by Golestan's donors up to this point?

In the summer of 2022, Golestan supported the education of these children in a pilot program. We provided financial support for Ali Ibn Abitaleb Charity to do the following for these 11 children:

• Registering these vulnerable children in 40 person-extracellular activity classes, including art and sport summer classes, to nurture their talents and feel like normal children.
• Holding 11 person-series of refresher classes for the school courses that these children have problems in.
• Purchasing nine help books for these children.

What are we planning to do?

We are planning to continue an extensive personalized educational program for each of these children, which will include the following: - Buying school books, supplies, stationeries, and backpacks at the beginning of the school year - Buying shoes/clothing and school uniforms at the beginning of the school year for these children - Having three series of refresher classes (کلاس های تقویتی) in courses which each of the students have problems with before the exams of the first school semester (امتحانات بهمن ماه) and second school semester (امتحانات شهریور), and during summer 2023 - Registering the children above 14 in skill set classes (کلاس های مهارت آموزی) to become readier for the time of their independence, for example: tailoring classes, mechanics, etc. - Registering the students in extracurricular activities classes like art and sports classes to provide a chance for them to nurture and know their talents like a normal child - Book Supplements Teaching Resources - Buying a pack of story books to introduce them to the concept of reading

Why should you help us?

Our estimates show that we need about $2,400 USD to fully cover the educational needs of Bam’s children. These children need your donation and support to get a decent education, to be able to nurture their talents and become financially independent and functional members of society when they grow up. Your help will make a real difference in the lives of these children who have been deprived of a peaceful and normal life. Please consider donating, as your donation will alleviate their suffering.
