24-year-old Maryam Abdul Ameer has been sick for most of her life. Like so many Iraqis, the young woman suffers from insulin-dependent diabetes.

Maryam is the first child of her family. She has four much younger siblings. Two of them attend primary school, while the other two are not yet of school age.

Maryam’s father is jobless and the family subsists on assistance from charitable institutions and the help of relatives.

LFT-MICT RAMADAN CAMPAIGN

The UK based Lady Fatemah (AS) Trust (LFT) in partnership with the MICT in Pakistan is once again reaching out to seek your support for providing assistance to poverty stricken households in northern Pakistan ahead of the holy month of ‘Ramadan’ this year. Though the fasting month is a few months away, we have launched our appeal in advance of ‘Ramadan’ to give time to prospective donors to reflect upon this coming important period when charity to less endowed individuals is an important element in nurturing a spirit of sacrifice and generosity.

My name is Zahra’a and i have 16 years old. I was in a school for orphans accepting social cases like mine though my parents are divorced from 6 years ago and we live in my uncle’s house. My father does not recognize us as his family so we don’t receive any money from him to support us. It’s so tough for my mother to rear up all this family knowing that she has a cardiovascular disease and despite this she goes every day at the hospital to work at the cleaning department in order to support us financially. I’m eager to pursue my academic degree in Nursing so i can help my family and my community both financially and as a religious mission and call at the humanitarian level.
