Marriage Support Project
Due to crushing poverty, countless families in South Asian countries are unable to have their daughters and sisters get married. Unfortunately, due to societal pressures, it is not uncommon for people to resort to extreme measures such as committing suicide.
InTouch Foundation is launching a marriage project in Pakistan to support families in these difficult situations by providing basic items according to the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) necessary for newlywed girls, including some clothing, utensils, bedding and more, along with some financial assistance to offset marriage expenses.
InTouch Foundation will assist in covering the cost of the marriage, depending on the region and local requirements. The marriage may be held individually or, where there are a number of couples in a particular region, group weddings may take place. Depending on the region, it costs approximately £300 for the wedding day and a further £200-£300 for the gifts to support the marriage of one young woman/man.
Ghana
InTouch Foundation works with stakeholders to create sustainable means of livelihood programmes and improve nutrition for vulnerable communities.
We will help families living in poverty establish an enterprise that helps them become financially independent. We will provide financial support to help the community of Kumasi, Ghana, establish chicken and cow farms.
In 2016, InTouch Foundation, in partnership with Ustadh Alyas Karmani, distributed over 2,000 Eid food packs to poor families in Ghana.
Eid meals were also distributed to 500 prisoners, both Muslims and non-Muslims, in the local prison in Manhyia, Ghana.
Over 700 InTouch Foundation Qurbani food packs were distributed in Ghana to families in need in rural villages. Alhamdulillah, the atmosphere and excitement is amazing. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Feed the hungry, visit the sick and set free the captives."
"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'"
