Our aim is to train and then give each widow one manual sewing machine, which will cost £250 per widow.
Since the economy has been poor, people are always looking for alternative sources of income but even minor jobs are scarce or paying minimal amounts; much less than what’s needed to sustain themselves. Through our programme we aim to empower widows to support themselves.
Sewing is a field that is in the interest of mostly women, teaching them and giving each learner the reward of a machine as a start up capital upon successful completion of our training programme. This really makes a difference, with most targeted women either from female headed households or widows.
With how fast technology is moving, for the purpose of learning they would also need to learn the electric sewing machine by having a good number but for the startup capital they would need the manual ones, which they would use also during the learning period.
We do not believe in simply distributing aid to needy communities. Instead, we invest in futures. We want to give the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people a chance to change their lives for the better.

The long-term benefits of Sadaqah Jariyah include ongoing community support, education, health improvements, and access to essential resources. For the donor, the key benefit is the perpetual accumulation of rewards in both this life and the hereafter.
The Importance and Rewards of Sadaqah Jariyah
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the significance of Sadaqah Jariyah in numerous Hadiths. One famous Hadith states, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah, knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him” (Sahih Muslim).
This highlights the enduring impact and reward of continuous charity, which benefits both the donor and the recipients long after the charity has been given.
Sadaqah Jariyah offers perpetual rewards because the good deeds generated by the charity continue to accumulate even after the donor's death. This makes it a powerful way to invest in your Hereafter, ensuring that your legacy of kindness and generosity continues to bring blessings to you and those in need.
