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.

Here are brief statistics about these children and their grades:

• 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 extracurricular 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 which these children find difficult and require additional assistance with.
• 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, backpacks, shoes/clothing and school uniforms at the beginning of the school year
• Providing three refresher classes (کلاس های تقویتی) throughout the year, for exam preparation during the first/second school semesters, and summer sessions
• Registering the children above 14 in skill set classes (کلاس های مهارت آموزی) to help them learn practical skills that will prepare them for the future - 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 know and nurture their talents like normal children
• Supplying supplemental teaching resources, including a pack of story books to encourage a lifelong love 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.
