The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) “I and the guardian of an orphan will be in The Garden like these two (His index and middle finger together)” Sahih Bukhari
”A child will be born today who you’ll never meet. But something you do or choose not do will change their life forever!”
What is Charity Week?
Charity Week is a grass roots projects started in 2004 by a small team of London University students. The aim is to raise awareness amongst the youth and communities about the tragic state of orphans around the world. Over time, Charity Week has become an institution in its own right with its own dedicated team and a cumulative total of £1 Million+ collected over four years. Today CW takes place all across the UK, Ireland and even universities in France & Australia! Hopefully will start in Malaysia soon.
