Firstly, The Chairperson of the Committee, Ms. Najwa Ramadan Nuweiri, welcomed on behalf of all Committee members, stressing, their presence is an honest expression of their love and affection in supporting active charitable projects.
She said: From 1984 to 2016, the Zakat Fund “by the grace of The Almighty and by good people like you” authorized referee from Dar Al Fatwa and from the authority of the of the Lebanese Grand Mufti to receive Zakat, charities and donations to distribute amongst the needy, widows, orphans, sick and disabled and people with special needs. Our diverse services, programs and bids that target the poorest and needy in our society.
At Women's Committee, we support as much as possible the Fund, therefore, we have chosen a goal and that is, Education, throughout the project of ''Assuring Superior University Students” another project emerged and that is ”Interaction”. The project aims to provide good opportunities in the future for young people who suffer from lack of resources due to family’s financial strains and poverty.
Grace to Allah, The project that we started in 2010 has been successful. We have assisted 730 university and vocational students in 51 disciplines, including doctors, engineers, pharmacists and others. I would like to mention the good and virtuous Siham Shukair, who supported four doctors to their graduation and the assurance of orphans in the care of their mothers.
God bless her faith and ease her way in all what she does, which are always aimed at helping those deprived in our society.
She concluded: 'We insist on arming our youth with education and knowledge, not lethal weapons. We offer our students financial contribution to enable them pursue their educational achievements. We are all one family. We have solidarity among us: the strong protects the weak, the rich helps the poor and this is what our religion has commanded us.
Then the participants took lunch in an atmosphere full of good, generous, filled with love, solidarity and compassion.
