With God’s blessings and donors’ help, we invested the income on these worthy projects:
-
Health :
-
a. Raazi Hospital, Pakistan : This great health care provider is serving the sick and needy in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Due to increasing demand, it needed to add substantial capacity. We took this opportunity of ‘continuous charity’ or ‘sadaqah jaariyah’ up and contributed a grant in instalments for the purchase of land, construction and equipment. Some of the zakah given by our donors was also used to pay for the treatment of poor patients who were not able to pay the less-than-market fees of the hospital. With the zakah given to the Patient Welfare Fund, they were given free treatment. For more info about this, please visit http://alkhidmatraazi.com/rawalpindi/.
