Thank you for answering the call of the Orphans and

the cries of thirst emanating from Iraq in places like

Kerbala, Najaf, Basra, Al Kurt, Baghdad and across to

Iran where Iraqi & Afghan orphans are to be found.

Your response shows the words of Imam Jaffer Sadiq

a.s. saying Every day is Ashura, every land is

Kerbala, ring as true today as when they were

spoken and will continue to do so to the end of time.

This is your opportunity to help quench the

thirst of needy families in and around Kerbala in

memory of our beloved Imam (a.s.) who was

martyred thirsty.

In the current crisis Cholera is spreading to

vulnerable Iraqis in the affected areas. It is vital to

respond to these desperate cries with urgency.

and halt the spread of this lethal disease. As

cholera spreads via polluted water countless

children and adults, many of them weakened by

malnutrition, chronic disease or age are exposed

to this threat. In rural areas, it is difficult to obtain

water sterilisation tablets and many families

would not be able to afford them even if they

were available. out of desperation, families are

attempting to sterilize water by exposing it to

the sun. This problem is now widespread and

affects many poor folk in Najaf, Kut and Basrah.

Local volunteers purchase water sterilisation

tablets and jerry cans to distribute among the

poor families who have little alternative than to

drink the poorly treated tap water or well water.

A more permanent solution is urgently required.

Since 2003, LFT has been working with local

volunteers striving to assist this deprived strata

of the Iraqi people. The establishment of a charity

eye clinic, income-generating projects, an orphan

sponsorship program and relief distributions are

among the projects implemented by LFT in the

region.

The Trust's emergency program is designed to

protect 20,000 families from cholera for a

month. A box containing 100 water sterilisation

tablets and a jerry can to hold the sterilised

water is distributed to each family, at a cost of

just over 3 per family.

Please donate generously towards this project.

In addition to saving an average family of eight

persons from contracting cholera with a box of

tablets and a water storage and treatment

container, you will also help to prevent the

spread of the disease and indirectly save

countless others. This includes communities

from neighbouring countries frequenting

Kerbala for ziarat during Muharram. They too are

susceptible to this deadly contageous disease.

These young eyes were witness to the

atrocities that befell the residents of

Kerbala and live their lives emotionally

scarred and often without one or both

parents.

As a result of several wars and years of

summary execution under Saddam's

tyrannical rule millions of innocent lives

were denied the love and care of their

parents. If our children have a rough day we

read them a bedtime story to lull them into

sleep. But these children would fall asleep

alone only to be woken up to the sound of

gunfire and exploding bombs to be instantly

reminded that they had lost their father or

mother or worse still, both. These young

minds must have wondered if this was how

they will live the rest of their lives as once

again they realise that their loved ones are

gone forever.

The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) highly

recommended caring for the orphaned

child and you can answer the cry of such a

child by offering them some comfort in

their traumatic lives.

At a cost of just 15 per month (just 50p

per day) you can ensure that the child is

housed (preferably with close family)

educated, clothed and fed.

Your concern and support will restore

some hope for their future.

You can reach out to an orphan in Kerbala

today and change a life for the better. The

Lady Fatemah (a.s.) Charitable Trust has

worked in Kerbala for over 10 years and has

overseen several such projects. By signing

the Gift Aid Form you are assured that for

every 1 donated up to 1.28 is actually

received by the needy with no deductions

made for administration or any other

associated cost.

Imam Hussein (a.s.) has asked his

followers to remember his thirst

whenever they drink water.

Even in this day and age, Cholera, is

a life threatening and highly

contagious water borne disease,

frequently found all over Iraq.

More than 1,000 suspected cases

are being treated in Kerbala with

over 25 fatalities having occurred

this year. The Iraqi Ministry of

Health has thus far, no centralised

prevention efforts planned.

Since the fall of the previous regime

the Trust has worked to provide

access to clean water to

communities in Southern Iraq

This Muharram you

can provide safe

clean drinking water

to needy families.

Dont forget you can

always sponsor an

orphan in memory of a

loved one or make a

donation as a thoughtful

gift for a special

occasion.
