Sharjah Charity International has organized a 10-day Umrah trip for 500 workers, aiming to make the religious journey more accessible to those who cannot afford it. The campaign, part of the association's 'Facilitating Umrah' initiative, extends support to various sections of society, including workers, cancer patients, outstanding students at Al Qasimia University, and underprivileged families.
Abdullah Sultan bin Khadem, Executive Director of the Sharjah Charity International, explained that the project is designed to reach people from diverse backgrounds, rather than focusing on a specific group. Over the past decade, the association's Umrah campaigns have enabled 5,061 individuals to perform the religious rites, showcasing their ongoing commitment to expanding the initiative and reaching more beneficiaries.
The current 10-day trip will provide the workers with ample time to perform Umrah and visit the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. Supervisors will accompany the participants throughout the journey, offering guidance on the Umrah rituals, answering questions, and ensuring a smooth experience. Bin Khadem expressed gratitude to philanthropists and donors for their ongoing support of the association's charitable projects, emphasizing that their generosity is crucial in sustaining the humanitarian work and bringing happiness to beneficiaries across the community.
