Hoping to build upon a successful winter warmth project in 2013, where thousands of blankets were distributed countrywide, The Al-Imdaad Foundation has recently launched its 2014 Operation Winter Warmth campaign. As the chill of winter spreads its icy grip across South Africa, this year the Al-Imdaad Foundation is focusing on targeting deep rural areas where people have no access to basic services such as electricity, water and sewage disposal. The Al-Imdaad Foundation will partner with local communities, Provincial and National Government in order to identify the most needy recipients. For only R75 per blanket you can help the Al-Imdaad Foundation reach out to the poorest of the poor this winter. Due to the nature of this project, we are not accepting Zakaat funds for this project. Lillah, Sadaqah & interest are applicable.
