FUNDRAISING PROJECTS... The MSC attendees are avid fundraisers. The Club has contributed to numerous charities, supporting projects locally and internationally. Appeal 2008The MSC's 5th Annual Ramadhan Appeal took place on Sat. 13th Sept. Alhamdulillah the performance by the young Muslimahs at the MSC, the live auction and the pre-Eid sale generated a total of £5,850 which is £700 over our target amount needed. ALLAHU AKBAR! All funds have now been sent to Muslim Hands who will shortly begin work on the orphan home for the six Muslimahs who were orphaned through the tsunami in Banda Aceh. For those of you who intended to donate towards the Appeal can still do so (the extra funds will go towards the building of another home). May Allah reward all those who made dua for the project, attended the event & donated in all ways possible. Insha'Allah we look forward to working with you all again next year.

In Ramadhan 2006...
the Club launched the ‘Palestine Water Well and Olive Project’ – our target amount: £2,500.00. A morning of talks, poetry, power point presentations and singing highlighted the plight of the Palestinians leaving not a dry eye in the house (I must point out that we took pity on our audience that year and sorted out the cats’ choir!). The presentation, auction and sale brought in a total of £4,516.14! Subhana’Allah, great community spirit meant that we were able to plant 50 olive trees and construct a larger water well providing safe drinking water to an entire suburb in Rafah. |

And we didn’t stop there… in Ramadhan 2005...
the girls took to the stage once again after the devastation caused by the South Asian earthquake in 2005. After just 2 weeks of script learning, dress rehearsals and numerous ‘telling offs’ ‘The Little Investigators- part 2’ was brought to life at the old Bingo Hall. The showing of the play, another year of dodgy singing and the craft sale left our audience with empty pockets –a staggering £3,416.82 was raised in just 3 hours! Allahu Akbar!During Ramadhan 2004...
the Club took part in its very first ‘It’s My Project’ working in conjunction with Muslim Hands.The IMP department allows the donor to choose a location, project type and target amount. MH then draws up a unique project which you see through from idea to construction.

The girls at the Club chose to raise £3,000.00 to establish a shelter for teenage girls in Iraq. In Ramadhan 2004 we invited the community of Oxford to watch the memorable play ‘The Little Investigators’. The combination of excellent performing, terrible singing and sheer enthusiasm meant that we reached our target amount with ease within just 3 months.
