Why Sadaqah Jariyah for Education Is the Best Back-to-School Gift 

According to UNICEF, over 250 million children around the world lack the basic school supplies and resources needed for learning. 

Giving school supplies isn't just charity; it's an act of Sadaqah Jariyah that continues to reward you long after the school bell rings. 

At Muslim Hands USA, our education programs, including the School of Excellence, are designed with long-term impact in mind. When you support a child's learning, every page they turn and every lesson they complete becomes part of your ongoing reward. 

What makes education a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah? 

  • It empowers children with lifelong knowledge. 
  •  It benefits communities by breaking the cycle of poverty. 
  •  It aligns with the prophetic legacy of seeking knowledge. 

"When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except three: Sadaqah Jariyah, knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for them." (Muslim) 

Whether you give $25 for a school kit or $500 for classroom materials, your donation leaves a legacy of learning.

What Orphans Still Need This School Year 

As the school year approaches, many orphaned and vulnerable children are still waiting for school support. 

Our Orphan Fund goes beyond food and shelter; it ensures every child can learn. But we still have children in need of: 

  •  School registration fees and exam costs 
  •  Notebooks, writing tools, and subject-specific books 
  •  Transportation costs to get to and from school 
  •  Counseling and emotional support for children who've experienced trauma 

Many of these children are eager to learn, and they just need someone like you to give them that chance.

Giving in August even early September, is critical because:

Your donation isn't late. It's right on time for a child who needs it most.
