My Story
Hey guys,
Been thinking about doing basecamp for ages! I've been a little reluctant since my fitness isn't where it used to be, but setting a goal is a good start, especially when I saw that it was a charity event and an amazing cause. We are very privileged here to have support for children but in many countries, children are still being put through horrendous circumstances.
I'll be paying for the trip myself, so asking for a donation to help children to get off the street and brothels and get an education and roof over their heads. See below for more details.
Anything big or small will help. For the Muslims out there, it's zakat applicable too!
I'm going to try documenting my journey! If you fancy getting a notification on that remember to leave your emails :)
Thanks,
Bahar
Muslim Charity's Children of the World campaign rebuilds young lives by supporting and strengthening local communities to protect children facing the gravest injustices.
Working in some of the harshest environments you can imagine, we have been able to rescue thousands of children from the street where abuse and exploitation was all they have known. We understand that every country and community is different and our projects are designed to synchronise with the society norms, culture and government policies.
In Pakistan, we are supporting children who are involved in child labour in Peshawar and brothel children in Lahore. Our social mobilisers encourage them to join our informal education centres where we ensure their education and psychosocial well being.
In Bangladesh, we have been rescuing street children since 2014. We have a permanent transitional shelter in Dhaka and also have regular Schools under the Sky in busy ferry terminals like Sadarghat which are informal schools aiming to give street children a basic education
