From Bangladesh’s flood zones to Lebanon’s refugee camps, open the door to education with a Bismillah. Choose orphan sponsorship or temporary learning space in crisis zones; begin their future today.
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.

272 million children are out of school worldwide. UNICEF estimates that funding cuts can make
6 million more children drop out of school
by the end of 2026.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan.
Ramadan multiplies generosity and rewards. Your Zakat and Sadaqah can begin a child’s education during the most blessed days.
