URGENT APPEAL FOR TURKIYE & SYRIA

The deadly earthquake that struck Turkiye and Syria has claimed the lives of over 40,000 people, leaving many more injured and displaced. The sitution demands an immediate response to provide emergency and humanitarian aid such as medicines, food, and hygiene kits to those affected.

In response to this crisis, COIN and its partners on the ground are sending critical supplies such as food, baby formulas, hygiene products, sleeping bags, and winterized tents to families who have lost everything. There are countless individuals and families in desperate need of our help, struggling to survive in the harshest of conditions. Every effort we make towards alleviating their suffering can make a world of difference to those in dire need.

PLEASE DONATE TODAY.

URGENT APPEAL FOR PAKISTAN

There is a desperate need for emergency and humanitarian assistance for food, safe water, medicines, hygiene kits and tents or tarps for make-shift shelter.

The devastating floods in Pakistan have inundated one-third of Pakistan, leaving large-scale destruction with over a thousand dead and many thousands displaced. Whole villages have been wiped out.

COIN responded with its partners by sending food, water and tents to vulnerable flood-affected families in Baluchistan. However, the need is so massive and widespread in other regions of Pakistan that urgent support is required immediately.

PLEASE DONATE TODAY; NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL.

RAMADAN DRIVE: TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

On Behalf of the board of the Children of Islamic Nations, COIN, please accept our heartfelt appreciation for your generous donations, time and support during this challenging and difficult time! 

Projects in education and health care for underprivileged children, orphan care support, humanitarian and emergency relief are made possible due to YOUR generosity.

Please continue to support your local Canadian charity, COIN, to do global projects.

APPEAL FOR AFGHANISTAN

COIN is appealing to all its donors and supporters to open their hearts and contribute generously for relief to victims of the worst drought, famine, and large-scale migration of people from the rural to city centers searching for food.

This situation is further compounded by the recent earthquake in Afghanistan, causing further devastation to the nation. More than 1000 people have lost their lives and injured many thousands.

Please donate today.

ORPHAN CARE APPEAL

 Please support COIN’s Orphan Care Program. Make a donation to sponsor the educational and welfare needs of orphan children that COIN supports in Afghanistan, Palestine, Pakistan, India, Yemen, Nepal, Somalia and the Rohingya in Bangladesh.

Prophet Mohammad (saw) said, “I and the person who looks after the orphan will enter Paradise together like this,” and he raised his forefinger and middle finger together. (Bukhari).

APPEAL FOR COVID-19 PANDEMIC RELIEF

In these trying times, may Allah keep you all safe and healthy. Please remember the less fortunate —reflect on how a small act of kindness can impact the lives of those who live amid such a crisis day in day out!

COIN has sent emergency relief for COVID-19 to the poor in Pakistan, India, Palestine and Yemen.
Locally in Edmonton, COIN networked with Islamic Family and Social Services Association (IFSSA) with their Emergency Needs Program and a local mosque, Al-Rahma, where COIN sponsored school supplies for students from zakat-eligible families.

Please donate generously to help the most vulnerable in these hard times.

APPEAL FOR ROHINGYA REFUGEE CHILDREN

Funding for the schooling needs of Rohingya orphans in Bangladesh was provided.

UPDATE ON LEBANON RELIEF

Our prayers and condolences for the precious lives lost in the Beirut explosion.
