Story

My name is Aly Dhedhi. I am 15 years old and a student at Jumeirah College.

This Ramadan, I am raising funds for The Citizens Foundation (TCF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality education to underprivileged children across Pakistan.

Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity, and responsibility. It is a time when we give our Zakat and Sadaqah with the intention of creating lasting impact. Education is one of the most powerful forms of Sadaqah Jariyah — a continuous charity that benefits a child for years to come.

For 600 AED (approximately $165 USD), you can sponsor a child’s education for an entire year. This covers qualified teachers, structured curriculum, books, and a safe learning environment.

Over the past year, with your support, I have helped fund the education of 22 students. Today, more than 320,000 children are studying in TCF classrooms nationwide. Your Zakat or Sadaqah can directly contribute to giving another child the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a future.

600 AED / $165 funds one child for one full year.

Any contribution, large or small, brings us closer to educating another student.

If you are looking to allocate your Zakat or give Sadaqah this Ramadan, I would sincerely appreciate your support.
