On the first day of Eid al-Fitr, acts of kindness crossed borders to reach Bangladesh. As the Valide Humanitarian Aid Association, we shared the joy of the festival by delivering the donations entrusted to us by our benefactors to orphaned and underprivileged children in Bangladesh.
On this special day, as we awoke to the blessings of the festival and the peace of sharing, our teams were in the most needy regions of Bangladesh. The festive clothes and gifts, meticulously prepared with the support of our donors, were delivered to our brothers and sisters thousands of kilometres away.
For these little ones, who bear the weight of childhood amidst harsh living conditions, the festival meant wrapping themselves in their new clothes and knowing they were remembered. The unique sparkle in the eyes of the children receiving their gifts was, for us, the festival’s greatest blessing and the most beautiful reward for our efforts.
Although the footage has only just reached us due to the challenging conditions on the ground in Yemen and limited communication facilities, your donations reached those in need before the holiday.
We brought the blessings of Ramadan and the spirit of solidarity to the other side of the world, to our brothers and sisters in Kenya.
We delivered Eid gifts to our brothers and sisters in Nigeria; we carried the joy of Eid and the blessings of solidarity beyond borders.
