Deaf Reach (Pakistan)- Zakat Appeal

5-01-2020

There are over 1 million deaf children in Pakistan, many at risk now in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Deaf children nationwide, the majority of whom hail from slum areas living on the edge of poverty, already face the dire threats that come with poverty and a high risk of being abused and exploited. 

Deaf Reach, a program of Family Educational Services Foundation (FESF), has created a safe haven for these children, and spent the past 3 decades in providing education, training and job placement for Deaf youth nationwide.  We are committed to continue helping the Deaf Community manage their way through this present crisis situation. 

In this critical time of uncertainty, we have mobilized our network across Pakistan to provide timely and crucial information and support to those most vulnerable, as well as assisting local Government bodies in doing the same.  We are doing the following:

  • Implementing a Raashan Program to help care of and provide food to our 1,200+ deaf children, teachers, staff and their families.
  • Continuing to provide salaries to all our 350 teachers and school staff, a large number of whom are deaf.

·         Creating information videos in sign language, and posting them to the Deaf Community nationwide. See https://web.facebook.com/pg/deafreachprogram/posts/?ref=page_internal

Please include us in your Zakat giving to ensure that those without a voice are taken care of. We can only mitigate the risks of this pandemic with your continued support towards our deaf students, teachers and their families. 

FESF eligible for Zakat contributions, registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and Pakistan Center for Philanthropy (PCP), and fully Shariah compliant.
