Update: The target amount has been reached! Sadaqah e djariyah: Sponsor a Chingchi rickshaw
Should we give money away for free or offer a loan? We were approached by a painter who fell into financial hardship due to COVID-19. Before that, he had his affairs in order — a hardworking man. His family includes his wife and a daughter of about three years old.
He wishes to purchase a Chingchi rickshaw. We want to support him, but giving away money without responsibility often leads to less appreciation. Experience shows that people value more what they’ve worked for.
This marks the beginning of a new initiative: offering interest-free loans to strengthen entrepreneurship (microfinancing). He will receive a loan to be repaid within the agreed period. Once repaid, the funds will be lent to someone else — creating a cycle that, in sha Allah, will help many more.
Your one-time donation can benefit multiple people. Isn’t that a beautiful form of sadaqah e djariyah?
The cost of a new Chingchi is around 130,000 PKR, approximately €715*. Join this life-changing project. Transfer your contribution to our bank account or use the Tikkie link.
*Exchange rates fluctuate daily. Any amount raised above the target will be reserved for the next project.
