Charity can meet an immediate need, but when possible, helping a vulnerable person develop a sustainable source of livelihood can create benefits that continue long after the initial assistance.<\/p>\n
Allah says:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever good you spend is for parents, relatives, orphans, the poor, and travellers. And whatever good you do, surely Allah has full knowledge of it.\u201d
\n\u2014 Qur\u2019an 2:215<\/p>\n
The Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe upper hand is better than the lower hand.\u201d
\n\u2014 Sahih al-Bukhari, 1429; Sahih Muslim, 1033<\/p>\n
Through our Goats for Widows and Vulnerable Women initiative, Barakah Welfare Foundation aims to provide suitable beneficiaries with goats that may help them establish a small source of livelihood.<\/p>\n
A goat can potentially provide a family with opportunities through raising livestock, breeding, and, where appropriate, producing milk or generating income. Rather than providing only short-term assistance, the initiative seeks to give vulnerable women a productive asset that may help strengthen household resilience and financial independence over time.<\/p>\n
Priority may be given to widows and financially vulnerable women whose circumstances make this type of livelihood assistance suitable.<\/p>\n
With Allah’s permission, a relatively simple act of support today may become a source of benefit for a family for months or even years.<\/p>\n
Support this initiative and help a vulnerable woman move from receiving temporary assistance toward building a more sustainable livelihood with dignity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
