كينيا: جمعية الإغاثة الإسلامية الأسترالية تتبرع ليتيمات كينيا

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

تسعى "جمعية الإغاثة الإسلامية" الأسترالية لجمع 84 ألف دولار بحلول يوليو القادم؛ وذلك من أجل إنقاذ ما يزيد عن 200 يتيمة مسلمة بمركز "السيدة فاطمة التعليمي للفتيات" بمدينة "جربا تولا" شمال "كينيا"، دعمًا لرعايتهن لمدة ستة أشهر.

وقد أشار الشيخ "حسن السطوحي" إلى أن الجمعية التزمت بجمع التبرعات لدعم الفتيات اليتيمات؛ وذلك نتيجة للرحلة الأخيرة التي قامت بها الجمعية العام الماضي في مهمة رصد ميدانية؛ حيث زارت العديد من المناطق المتضررة وخاصةً المركز المشار إليه، الذي قام أحد السعوديين ببنائه سرًّا دعمًا للمسلمين ثم توفي، ولم يعلم أحد من أسرته بالمشروع؛ ولذلك افتقد التمويل اللازم؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Orphanage urgently needs funds

More than 200 orphan girls are facing starvation and severe hardship, possibly even homelessness, unless Muslim Aid Australia (MAA) can raise at least $84,000 by July to fund their care for six months.

The CEO of MAA, Sheikh Hassan Elsetohy, has warned that if the money cannot be raised swiftly at least 150 of the 200 girls at the Sayyidah Fatimah Girls’ Education Centre in Garba Tulla in northern Kenya will be left with no money for food, clothing and education.

Sheikh Hassan said some of the girls were as young as eight years old and had no family in the drought stricken region.

He stressed that as well as raising the $84,000 needed in July, MAA had committed itself to giving on-going support for the orphanage and needed to raise that amount every six months.

he Sheikh travelled to Kenya late last year as part of a regional projects-field-monitoring mission. While there he visited several sites including the education centre which also serves as an orphanage.

“The complex was built by an elderly brother from Saudi Arabia, who appears to have passed away, Even though no-one is certain, it seems he may have carried out the project in secret and that none of his family knew about it. As a result no further funding is available from him,” he said.

“In light of the dilemma facing the girls I felt Muslim Aid Australia had no option but to step up and take on the responsibility of sponsoring them
