Project Narrative Summary

1. The Islamic Community in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's Muslim population, particularly in certain rural and vulnerable areas, faces significant challenges related to socio-economic stability. The lack of access to quality education, limited health infrastructure, and a shortage of sustainable income sources are key issues that require targeted intervention. Al Hima focuses its efforts on empowering these vulnerable groups to achieve stability and prosperity.

2. Introduction to the Sponsorship Program

Al Hima's sponsorship initiative is comprehensive, focusing on long-term empowerment rather than just temporary relief. The primary target is the **Widows and Divorcees Sponsorship Program (Kafalatul Aramal)**, which provides financial aid coupled with vocational training.

3. The Critical Need for Sponsorship

Financial support is crucial for the continuation and expansion of this project. Your sponsorship of **$65 USD per month** directly covers food, clothing, and medical expenses, and helps fund vocational equipment (like sewing machines) necessary for beneficiaries to generate their own income.
