Transgender Retirement Home Pakistan

Hello everyone & welcome to our money pot! This money will be used specifcally to make the retirement home sustainable. The primary focus is on installing solar panels to ensure the home has a clean, long lasting energy supply. Pakistan's "third-gender" people, or khawaja sehras as they identify, are often rejected by their families and can have no-one to look after them in old age. Third-gender people are 50 times more likely to be living with HIV than someone from the general population in Pakistan - it's believed almost 5% of the community are HIV-positive. Now, Guru Ashee, an activist and a respected member of the community has opened a retirement home providing dignity for residents in their final years. The retirement home has been eight years in the making. It opened in 2019 and provides accommodation, medication and food for 40 older third-gender people. It's part of a bigger project that will eventually incorporate a medical centre and additional housing. Ashee's retirement home allows third gender people to spend time together in a private space where they are accepted. Food and shelter are the starting point but the fact that older third-gender people can be themselves and feel valued is truly revolutionary. For more detail see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-48707042 The BBC documentary 'Our World : The Best Pakstani Transgender Retirement Home' is available on the @BBCNews channel and on @BBCiplayer The retirement home has also been featured in @AttitudeMag @Dawn_News and other news outets All funds raised will be sent to Naz Male Health Alliance, Pakistan's primary LGBTQ NGO.

Aide pour le paiement d'obsèques

Bonjour à tous, J'ai décidé de créer cette cagnote pour aider un ami qui vit une période difficile. En effet, un de ses proches est en train de mourrir, et lui et sa famille n'ont pas les capacités financières suffisantes pour pouvoir payer les obsèques à venir. Pour ceux qui le connaissent, sachez qu'il n'est pas au courant de la création de cette cagnotte et je vous remercierai donc de ne pas lui en parler. Je pense que vous comprendrez qu'il n'est pas forcément facile d'accepter d'être aidé dans ce genre de situation... Mon ami et ses proches ont lancé des démarches auprès d'associations pour avoir des aides financières, mais la procédure prendra du temps et la somme qu'ils percevront ne couvrira qu'une partie du coût des obsèques (coût minimum de 3000 euros). Je fais donc appel à votre générosité, ainsi qu'à votre solidarité. Mon ami en a bien besoin en ces temps difficiles, où il ne pourra surement pas rendre hommage comme il le souhaite à son défunt (cause : COVID-19). Je tiens à préciser qu'il n'y a pas de contribution innutile (que ce soit 5 euros, 10....), et je tiens également à tous vous remercier par avance du soutien financier dont vous ferez preuve. SACHEZ QUE LES DONS SONT ANONYMES. Merci à vous tous.

Cesta Fresca Providencia

The Cesta Fresca (Fresh Basket) project aims to bring healthy food to the most vulnerable families in the Morro da Providência, the oldest in Brazil and backdrop to the famous Central do Brasil (yes, from the movie). Most members of this community work informal jobs and are now faced with a choice of either respecting social isolation or having nothing to put on the table. Access to healthy food should not be a privilege, and we want to show that fresh and unprocessed products can be an economically viable alternative to many non-perishable products that are already being distributed. The products are sourced from the Landless Rural Workers Movement, a network of activists defending agrarian reform and agroeocological practices (and LGBTQI rights! - they are that cool) throughout Brazil. They are bought at a fair price and delivered on the same day. The residents, previously mapped out through surveys, are called at pre-defined times at the distribution center to avoid crowds. This is also an occasion to distribute masks to those that may still need them.In the first edition, 100 families were reached, with the support of many community volunteers to organize the distribution. Beyond the short-term objective of ensuring food security during the pandemic, the project aims to connect the struggles of marginalised communities in the country and the city. In the long term, it also aims to transform cultural habits around food consumption in the favela and address the malnutrition and host of associated health problems which have made these communities especially vulnerable to Covid-19. The cost of a complete basket of fruits and vegetables is around US$ 4.00/€3.60. Content will vary every week according to the offer, but our goal is to perpetuate the scheme in the coming weeks, extending it as long as the need for social isolation continues, reaching as many families as possible. Please consider giving using the link in bio (if outside Brazil you need to do it from a computer and tick the “foreigner” box to be able to give without a fiscal number). Contents of the Fresh Basket for the first edition (Sunday, May 24): 1 kg of cassava1 kg sweet potato1 kg of yam1 dozen banana1 dozen oranges1 dozen lemons1 bunch of cabbage

Give love and support to Nawid

To Nawid and his family.Nawid fell from a coconut tree and have very serious injuries, and is at the hospital at the moment. Where he is in good hands.The situation put us all in the same state of chock, and maybe powerlessness.We all know Nawid is a strong minded and powerful young man, he love to learn new skills, to share his passions and wants to conquer the world with his ideas. And he will.For his recovery It would be amazing for him to have his family members close. This will help so much but will cost a lot as well.A trip from UK to Sydney for 2 family members, and 14 days in a quarantine hotel will cost about 10 000AU$. There is no small amount to help in a situation like this.With lots of hope I would love to make this possible and help our beloved friend Nawid and his family. All together we can make a big difference. Every $ will be used to make him feel better during the recovery.Keep praying and sending your love to him, he is hearing it all.Thanking you all. ♥︎

The Skinner Family Fund / Little Princess Trust

Some of you reading may be aware that a good friend of mine Clare Skinner was diagnosed with Cervical cancer in January 2019. As you can all imagine a mum of 4 young children this was devistating for both Clare and her husband Doug. They stayed strong for their children and got through the treatment. They were then greeted with good news in August 2019 with the all clear. AMAZING, Right. If only that all clear stayed that way. Unfortunately Not, just before Christmas, Clare was suffering with a lot of pain in her back so after a few times of us all begging her to go and get checked out early just before Christmas they were told the cancer had come back. Christmas celebrations were a time for them to have the results of how much the cancer was back. It brings tears to my eye to sadly say its now terminal. I want Clare, Doug and their 4 beautiful children to be able to make some life long memories together as a family.. Some of you may know I have long hair that I absolutely love. OK I don't often do anything with it 9 times out of 10 it's normally in my mum bun style. I've been looking at the Princess Trust website about donations, they are crying out for longer haired donations and my hair fits into that category. Currently I have enough to actually send just over the 41 cm that they would like so if you haven't guessed already this is what I am going to be doing.. I would love to be able to raise enough money to send some off to a Cancer based Charity of Clares choice as well as some for Doug and Clare to put into a pot towards one time opportunity days with the children to make them life long lasting memories that they all truely deserve. Please please show Clare and her family your support even its it's just £1 they all add up I'd love to give her a massive pot of money for a trip to her favourite place to go with the kids and that's disney 🤞 would just like to say a huge thank you if you've spent the time to read and to be so kind and to have donated. SPREAD THE WORD TO ALL THE FEMALES YOU NOW HAVE YOUR SMEAR TEST DONE IT TAKES 5 MINS AND THE NURSE WOULD HAVE SEEN EVERY STYLE OF NUNNEY THEIR POSSIBLE IS.

Itsinkoudi, Pvadzima ne toumou

Chers parents, familles, amis et compatriotes, La jeunesse d’Itsinkoudi Oichili se mobilise en ces temps difficiles pour aider leurs proches aux Comores. La situation d’insulaire de notre archipel, les soupçons de Covid 19 et le ramadan créent une situation d’urgence sanitaire. En effet le pays dépendant essentiellement de l’importation, la fermeture des frontières, des marchés publics, des agences de transfère monétaire plongent le pays dans une situation de précarité croissante. Il parait donc judicieux voire nécessaire d’apporter une aide alimentaire afin de soutenir financièrement les familles dans le besoin, notamment les personnes vulnérables pendant ce mois béni du Ramadan. Les personnes âgées représentent environ un tiers des personnes contaminées dans le monde et trois quarts des victimes du Covid 19. Cette cagnotte a pour but d’aider dans un premier temps nos Wa Baé et Cocos pendant la dernière quinzaine du mois Béni. L’aide concerne toute personne agée d’environ 60 ans, ceci sans distinction sociale ! L’aide se fera sous forme d’une distribution alimentaire (farine, sucre, huile entre autres) au seizième jour de jeûne. La cagnotte sera directement transférée sur le compte d’un site d’achat en ligne et la livraison se fera au village qui se chargera de la distribution par le biais de MERCI. L’action peut être élargie à plus de monde, sous réserve de fonds suffisants ! Nous sommes les seuls acteurs quant à l’aboutissement de ce projet ! La base du volontariat est obligatoire !! Cependant tous les jeunes itsinkoudiens résidants en France ou ailleurs, nous avons la possibilité de constitué un minimum de capital pour soutenir notre village. Pvadzima !!Tout seul on va plus vite mais ensemble nous allons plus loin !Itsinkoudi compte sur nous !Soyons Nombreux !

Réfugés

Bonjour,L'objectif est 100€ à collecter jusqu'au jeudi soir 13 août.Merci par avance pour votre participation! Association "Karusel" .

Support Masjid Quba

#SupportMasjidQuba Masjid Quba - URGENT APPEAL 🚨 !!️ **Assalamualaikum to all my Brothers, Sisters in Islam we have a pledge for all of you to please help the house of Allah** Support Our local Masjid Quba, based in Leicester, United Kingdom. It is in urgent need of fixing and renovating in order for the masjid to open after the current pandemic. During its closed period it has racked up a high amount of bills - as the masjid was closed from its community. The sadaqah and local fundraising was cut off as everyone is facing difficulties. During its empty period, we have had issues like broken windows, problems with the heating system and leaks from the roof. Masjid Quba is in need of financial help, a beautiful mosque established for many years which serves the local community through its many services. We could not believe the state of the Masjid in the heart of Leicester, it being the house of Allah, yet it seemed to lack love and community spirit. After visiting Masjid Quba in Leicester, we have taken it upon ourselves to help raise funds to have essential and emergency repair works done. Alhamdulillah we have already managed to get the lighting working but there is so much more to be done, by the will of Allah your donations will make a difference. The Prophet (Sallallau Alayhi Wasallam) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise" (Bukhari) The Masjid have been fully transparent with all donations collected and inshaAllah we can follow the repair project of an integral part of our community. Please don't forget, the Prophet (Sallallau Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” (Muslim) ESSENTIAL WORK REQUIRED: - Roof- Walls - Internal & External- Windows- Carpet- Ceilings & Lighting ‏جزاك الله خيرا ‏وبارك الله فيك

Help a student to pay her rent

Hello! My name is Martina, I am a student and I desperately need your help! I hate asking for money, but I find myself in a terrible financial situation. I am a student, and I usually have a job during my school year. While I had a job that helped me pay my rent, the shop I worked in closed down, and the money I had was barely enough to cover 2 months of rent! Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I was unable to find a new job that would have secured the last months I have left to pay on my tenant's agreement, and now as my parents cannot help me anymore (money is tight for them too), I find myself in a terrible situation, not being able to cover my last months of rent. This is why I find myself on here, appealing to the good heart of people around the world. I repeat, I hate asking for money, and I know that there is people who deserve this more than I do, but please, I need your help right now. I normally am the one that donates for the wellbeing of others, knowing that if I found myself in their situation I would not mind some help. All I need is 600€ that would help me to cover my charges, and be sure to not be thrown away from my apartment. I would love to thank you all in advance for your generosity and help, I know that if there is a God up there, they

Daughters of Gambia Registered Charity No 2019/C8870

Hello everyone & welcome to this money pot!With just 1-click you can support our registered charity, Daughters of Gambia* Give however much you want* All payments are 100% secureDaughters of Gambia was set up a year ago in the village of Siffoe, Gambia, to eliminate Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage.  We now have 27 young girls, aged 10 to 15 yrs old, and we support them by providing education, sport and community projects.  In 2019, we carried out tree planting, street cleaning, playing baseball/football, debating and many other activities.To continue our work, and increase the numbers of girls we work with, we need your help. 100% of your kind donation goes to providing for the girls.  Please give what you can, no matter how small.

Help the community of Zanzibar - Environment and community empowerment

Please help the community of Zanzibar with the plastic pollution. Your kind donations will provide jobs for those in the village to make ecobricks (a sustainable method of packing single use plastic into bottles). You are able to make a difference today; to those living in Zanzibar, your donations will help us accomplish our goals:* To provide a sustainable method to clear the plastic pollution on the island * To provide an income to those living in poverty * To provide English language lessons to the community Please read on to see how you can help!  When I saw the devastating amount of plastic on the island and the hardship the local community face, I knew there must be a way to link the two. I then created Zecobricks, a non profit NGO.  I recruited a team of local like-minded volunteers and we started to collect plastic bottles from hotels as well as plastic from the local shops and schools to build ecobricks. Ecobricks are made from single use plastic and is a sustainable way to reuse the plastic that is otherwise polluting the beaches and local environment.  Many countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, have started this initative making furniture, walls and houses. With the ecobricks we make we plan to build an after school club for the children in the village to learn English (I am a primary school teacher on site in Zanzibar). We want to provide jobs for those struggling in employment by recruiting them to make ecobricks. Your donations will provide a basic income for those who are unable to support their children.  Not only will this provide job opportunities and an after school club, but will also prove to the community of Zanzibar that ecobricks are easy to make and a useful building tool. Once this project is grown and known to the community, we hope  individuals can be responsible for their plastic waste by making their own ecobricks and eco-constructions and sell these on to make a living.  Spreading awareness of plastic pollution is a huge part of what we do at Zecobricks. Right now we teach in the Government schools and community areas about the hazards of burning plastic and littering in both English and Swahili but we need to do more!  This non-profit NGO is still at its infancy phase but I strive, with your help, to turn it into a success, where the local community can earn a living and tourist volunteers can join the initiative. My passion and compassion for others enables me to speak from the heart and my drive allows me to work relentlessly for something I believe in.Due to 8 months of volunteering, i have a lack of funds and therefore your support will enable this to happen! Help us help the community of Zanzibar who have no voice.Help the environment. Help the children to learn English to help their future.
