individuals and families were enabled to overcome a desperate situation and continue their lives with GBP 2,000.00 Funded by LFT
Everyone who works in charity will have painful memories of extremely needy and desperate applicants whose situation does not fit the criteria of any of the available funds. Islamic Sadaqah is a fund whose chief criterion is the need of the recipient. Over a period of almost two years, and with funding amounting to only about 2000 GBP, IRAC was able to assist 45 applicants who were in desperate situations. Sixteen applicants received assistance for medical conditions not within the criteria of IRAC's medical assistance project, seven patients who had come to Iran for medical treatment received funds to return to their country, six students received assistance with educational fees, seven families were enabled to improve their living conditions by purchasing very basic necessities and two young girls received assistance with dowry expenses, enabling them to marry. Eleven applicants received assistance with various other needs that cannot be categorized but were nevertheless pressing to the applicant.
The table below offers information on the situation of the applicants:
