The IHYAAWUD DEEN Charity Foundation, a religious or faith-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), has made a donation of Eid-ul Fitir clothing to several hundreds (100s) of orphans at Kete-Krachi in Krachi West, Seidu Akura and Chinderi in the Krachi Nchumuru district of the Oti Region, Kojo Krom and Nyankpantri in Sene East as well as Shaafa, Bantama and Kwame Danso in the Sene West district of the Bono East Region, all in line with the Charity Foundation’s mandate of eradicating poverty, supporting the needy or orphans in society to have access to quality education and also support widows and Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) to undertake income generating activities to sustain themselves.

The donation was undertaken on behalf of the Founders of the Foundation, Hajia Sakina Samori and Hajia Ayisha Issah, philanthropists who have intrinsic interest and passion for improving the lives of children and the less privileged in society.
Items donated to the orphans for their usage during this year’s Eid-ul Fitir celebrations, included male and female clothing, bags of rice, tomatoes and cooking oil amongst others.
The items were received by the parents and guardians together with the children during the presentation exercise.
The children and guardians were beaming with smile, very happy, and subsequently appreciated the kind gesture by the IHYAAWUD DEEN Charity Foundation. 

In his speech, the Deputy Imam of the Krachi West Municipality, Alhaji Mohammed Baba popularly known as “Baba Parai” quoted in the Holy Quran the benefits and significance of supporting the orphans and the needy. According to him, 
"They ask you (O Muhammad) what they should spend in charity. Say: 'Whatever you spend with a good heart, give it to parents, relatives, orphans, the helpless and travelers in need. Whatever good you do, God is aware of it.'" - The Holy Quran, 2:215.
The IHYAAWUD DEEN Foundation assured the communities and orphans that their priorities have been identified and noted, and that same will be taken into consideration when making future donations to them. Such a gesture, the Foundation said, was consistent with its mission and vision to the society at large.

 
The NGO was founded by a philanthropist, Hajia Sakina Samori together with Hajia Ayisha Issah, and funded by benevolent individuals, with the primary aim of providing livelihood support to vulnerable groups in the society particularly women and children as well as PWDs with the view to tackling inequality and promoting inclusiveness in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In all, more than Two Thousand (2,000) orphans and the needy benefited from the exercise.
