Give A Child The Sacred Start They Need Today

We say Bismillah before anything important. At READ Foundation, we want every child’s school day to start that way, too. Many children in disaster zones and rural communities never get to start their first lesson. Your Zakat is their first step. It provides desks and books for a fulfilled future. Every lesson they start with Bismillah is a step towards a new life, one filled with opportunities and dreams. Be their start this sacred month.
