Zakat Appeal for Prosthetics – 2024

9 February 2024

Project goal: LWFB funds hospital treatments that correct and/or attach artificial limb(s) to someone who may have lost their limb(s)/ due an accident or they were born with deformity improving the quality of life. This project is eligible for zakat.

Dear Donors,

Greetings!

Last year through your Zakat contributions, LWFB contributed a significant sum of funding that were invested in improving quality of life for close to 100 individuals, allowing people to walk again for the first time. There are about 30 more individuals who will continue to benefit as the procedures complete soon. Prosthetics projects are implemented by our trusted partner TMSS Medical College and Rafatullah Community Hospital (TMC & RCH) in Bogra, Bangladesh.

Recent cases supported by LWFB:

I want to draw your attention to this boy who was born with a complication that prevented him from walking like a normal boy of his age. Imagine the sorrow and humility this boy carried on his little shoulders until this very inexpensive and short procedure mobilized him. Please see his condition before the treatment in the picture below.

And now after the treatment at TMSS, this boy (Abdollah Al Amin) walks again. Watch this video – https://youtube.com/shorts/-W5sRersoEM?feature=share

All this was possible with a contribution of only BDT25,000 (approx. AUD350).

We have attached one more photo of a 12-year-old boy (patient B) who came to TMSS for treatment and returned with the ability to walk. To protect his privacy some details have been obfuscated.

Our appeal:

Please see attached appeal letter from TMSS. We are appealing to you to contribute a part of Zakat and/or Sadaqah towards this noble cause. We look forward to your kind gestures, support, and contributions to continue to help the needy people of Bangladesh.

All collections would be passed on to TMSS Medical College and Rafatullah Community Hospital (TMC&RCH), Bogura promptly.  

Through your Zakat and Sadaqah, you can give an opportunity to someone to walk for life! Details:
