NINGXIA -XIJI WELFARE CHARITY CENTER
宁夏西吉县博爱慈善服务中心
Registered No: 7749300-9
We are a Muslim NGO- Charity Organization established in 2006 with the objective of helping poor Muslims in China and in Ningxia Province specifically,to alleviate their economic and educational problems.This is the second Muslim NGO in China that we have set up, the first one is ZhangJia Chuan Charity registered in 2002 in ZhangjiaChuna County,Gansu Province.
XIJI CHARITY set up the first government registered Muslim orphanage in China's poorest region known as XIHAIGU.This region has also been designated as one of the world’s poorest regions by UNESCO. Since its inception in November 2006, the orphanage has an enrollment of 34 boys and 21 girls ranging from 8 to 14 years old, all without parents. Xiji County has more than 500 Muslim orphans but because of premise constraint and funds we were only able to take in 55 orphans and employ 5 paid staff.(Warden,Cook,Cleaning cum laundry lady, Islamic Knowledge Teacher and English cum general teacher to coach the children, each staff is paid a meager wage of £50 per month) The orphanage needs a minimum of £1000 a month to sustain its 55 orphans’ livilihood and paid employees. We are left with £750 per month to support the 55 orphans food,board and education after paying the wages of our staff.
In 2009 we gave out annual bursaries to 110 students from poor farming families, giving them an opportunity towards a tertiary education in universities. InshaAllah they will graduate and be gainfully employed so that they will help break the poverty circle.Each student could only be given 200 Br pounds as our resources are stretched, our priority is to fund the orphans.In 2011 we are presently funding 200 students.
In 2008, we distributed clothes to 800 needy students, bursaries to 50 secondary school students and food supplies to 90 families who were living at below subsistence level.
We also started to run 3 Arabic language classes, each class consisting of 50 students at the XIJI VOCATIONAL COLLEGE. InshaAllah, this effort will be an avenue enabling our Muslim students to graduate as skilled workers with Arabic language facility.
We are funding 45 orphans at the Lanzhou Literacy Center for Women and Children. We help rebuild old dilapidated masjids which are at risk of collapse. In June 2009 we completed the YuQiao Masjid, with two more waiting to be reconstructed.
We carry out Qurbani and Aqiqah annually, distributing the meat to poor deserving families. Zakat and sedakah is given out to the 8 designated categories (Asnaf).
As Xiji County is very dry and arid with only 380mm rainfall throughout the year, we hope to raise enough funds to provide water supply to many Muslim villages located in mountainous areas. We pray that our Muslims brothers and sisters will assist our Charity Organization to carry out our duty to the community. We assure you that receipts will be sent to acknowledge every donation given.
You are most welcome to visit our projects and see the work carried out by volunteers for our Muslim charity in China.
May ALLAH (Subhanawataallah) reward you for your good deeds.
