The organization focuses rural and peripheral areas where development and services projects contribute to productivity and hence the social welfare

in
Sudan

A:
There is much coordination with many charity organizations, such as Al-Munhal Organization

Society for Quran and Al-Ghaith Charity Organization. We coordinate with them on a number of development and social service projects
.
We are still endeavoring to coordinate with more domestic and foreign organizations. At present we have coordination with the Kuwaiti International Charity Organization, Sudan Office

Some Kuwaiti parties also support us, such as the Zakat House, Shiekh Abdallah Alnori Society, the International Islamic Corporation and the Islamic Heritage Rival Society. Some Qatari organizations also contribute to our projects as well

We likewise receive much support from benevolent Sudanese
individuals

A:
The Organization now sponsors
300
orphans from many Sudanese States.
In cooperation with the Al Zakat Chamber, one hundred out of the said number will be provided with production means to turn them contributors
to
development rather than dependent on social benefit or aid

Moreover, we are striving to increase the number of orphans accommodated up to
500

Khartoum

Õ
support schemes

Ò
Orphans Sponsorship Projects

Our headquarters is at Block (

Khartoum
and we are ready to give advice and guidance on how to approach the issue in any of the Sudanese States
