  • Never Forget Your Heroes

    Never Forget Your Heroes

    On December 25, 1876, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was born. For years, he fought tirelessly for Pakistan’s independence, sacrificing his health and well-being to achieve his vision. His unwavering dedication led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, earning him the revered title “Quaid-e-Azam” (The Great Leader).

    Sadly, Quaid had little time left to shape Pakistan into the dream he envisioned. Only a year later, he passed away, leaving a nation mourning its most visionary leader. اناللہ وانا الیہ راجعون (Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.)

    After losing our leaders in quick succession, corruption and greed took hold, and Pakistan’s future was placed in uncertain hands. Yet, we remain eternally grateful to Quaid-e-Azam for his unmatched contributions. It is our duty to carry forward his mission and continue striving for a stable, safe, and prosperous Pakistan.

    Today, let us honor Quaid’s legacy—talk about his contributions with your children, reflect on his struggles, and pray for him. May his vision live on in our hearts and actions.

    Shaadi Project 29

    We are grateful to Allah, the Almighty, for allowing us to contribute to this wedding. This young woman had only been married for a few months and was living happily with her husband and in-laws—until tragedy struck. Her husband suddenly passed away. إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ (‎Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.)

    In an act of kindness and care, her mother-in-law (in consultation with all involved) helped arrange a new match to ensure her future stability. However, the family’s financial situation was difficult, and Stichting Shamma was requested to help cover wedding expenses.

    With the generous support of our donors, Shamma provided 300,000 PKR (around €980) to make this possible, Alhamdulillah. We kindly ask everyone reading this to make dua for the mother-in-law and the bride—that Allah blesses them both abundantly.

    ✨ Your support helps build futures! Let us continue standing with those in need.

  • Self-Defense Classes

    At Shamma School, all children receive self-defense lessons, an initiative that has quickly become a favorite among students. In a short period, they have made significant progress, gaining not only physical skills but also a boost in self-confidence.

    Beyond learning how to protect themselves, these classes serve as extra motivation for children to attend school regularly. Seeing their enthusiasm and growth reinforces our belief that this was the right step forward.

    We are grateful for the opportunity to provide these lessons and proud of our karate instructor, whose dedication and guidance have made a lasting impact!

    ✨ Empowerment through education and strength—Shamma stands for a better future!

  • Happy Independence Day!*

    Jashn e azadi mubarak

    Dua he ke Rab ul alameen hamare mulk ki kher farmaye, aik mazboot, mustehkem aur falahi reyasat banaye, ameen.

    “Happy Independence Day!”

    “We pray that the Lord of all worlds blesses our country, makes it strong, stable, and a prosperous welfare state, Ameen.”

    Do you truly want to make a difference in Pakistan? Sponsor a student at Shamma School and help shape a brighter future. Your support ensures that more underprivileged children receive quality education, empowering them to break free from the cycle of poverty.

    ✨ Every sponsorship counts—together, we can give hope, opportunity, and a better tomorrow, in shaa Allah.

  • New tablets for Shamma School

    New tablets for Shamma School

    Shamma School is currently closed for summer vacation, but before the break, we received a request for new tablets. The previous ones had become too outdated to function, with no remaining support or updates.

    We are deeply grateful to HSM Solutions B.V., who generously donated three brand-new iPads along with protective cases. Today, they have safely arrived in Pakistan and will be ready for use once school resumes after summer break.

    ✨ Thank you for this wonderful contribution! May Allah richly reward you for this kindness, Ameen.

  • Eid Celebration at Shamma School

    On Saturday, May 6, Shamma School in Gujar Khan hosted a vibrant Eid celebration, bringing joy and festivity to the children. It was a wonderful day, filled with laughter, excitement, and meaningful activities.

    With the dedicated guidance of our teachers, the children participated in various fun-filled programs, making beautiful memories together. To end the celebration on a sweet note, Shamma offered a delicious lunch, ensuring that the day was perfectly complete.

    ✨ A day of happiness, unity, and gratitude—making Eid extra special for our students!

  • 150 food packages

    150 food packages

    Alhamdulillah, a beautiful act of generosity! Since the start of Ramadan, 150 food packages, each worth 15,000 PKR / €50, have already been distributed to families in need.

    May Allah accept this effort and richly reward every contributor in this life (Duniya) and the Hereafter (Aakhirah), Ameen.

    ✨ Your support is truly making a difference—may this kindness continue to spread!

  • Ramadan Mubarak

    Ramadan Mubarak

    We are once again blessed to be in the most beautiful month of the year—Ramadan, Alhamdulillah. May Allah grant us the strength to make the most of this time and improve ourselves in every way, Ameen.

    This year, Shamma Food Packages continue to reach those in need, following our trusted approach: We work with selected local shopkeepers, chosen based on product quality, pricing, and accessibility. These shopkeepers accept €50 vouchers and provide essential groceries directly to the beneficiaries.

    As Ramadan approaches, requests for RFPs begin to flow in. Verification is conducted through community contacts and key figures, ensuring aid reaches the right people. Once verified, recipients receive a voucher worth 15,000 PKR*, allowing them to select the groceries they truly need, minimizing waste and maximizing impact.

    Due to exchange rate fluctuations, your €50 may convert to slightly more or less than 15,000 PKR. In all cases, Shamma ensures the donation rounds up to the stated 15,000 PKR.

    To contribute to an RFP or a portion of one, you can donate to: Stichting Shamma NL62 ABNA 0462 5629 56 Mention: RFP 2023

    ✨ Your kindness brings light into someone’s life—thank you for making a difference this Ramadan!
