Founder of GiveLight
A vision to rebuild a future emerged just a few weeks after the tragic December 26, 2004, Asia Tsunami. Our first home in Aceh, Indonesia became a reality just one year later, serving as a sanctuary for children traumatized by the tsunami. We have been expanding globally ever since, reaching Pakistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Morocco and more. Join us in our efforts to give light and love to as many children around the globe as possible.
To all our friends observing, another Ramadan has come in the time of Covid. May it be filled with God’s mercy, forgiveness, and guidance.
You all have been sharing your blessings with our children throughout the years. For that, we are so immensely grateful as it has enabled us to grow and reach more children around the world. Thank you for your love and support. May you and your family experience the best Ramadan this year. Ramadan Kareem!!
