Are you one of those people that would bend over backwards for almost anyone and everyone, but then usually tend to find those people are pretty ungrateful for your efforts? Why not take a step back and have a deep think about the circumstances, as you have a couple of choices.

• You could continue bending over backwards for those who have pretty much everything.
• You could bend over backwards for those who would appreciate it, benefit greatly from it, pray for you and you will also gain reward from it.

The latter seems rather smart, doesn’t it? Well, there’s no time like the present, as you can make that change today. There is someone out there who needs your support, at this very moment in time…

Islamic Help aims to support and help those who are in need and has a mission to help make a difference in this world. Here are just three of Islamic Help’s campaigns that you could help support today:

• Sponsor an Orphan - You can play a significant role in the clothing, feeding and educating of an orphan child to ensure they see and build a future for themselves. Shockingly, every minute of every day, around two innocent children are orphaned somewhere in the world.
• Sustainable Livelihoods - The purpose of the sustainable livelihoods project is to provide families with a means to generate an income and future for themselves. The project focuses on providing the resources for them to proactively build and secure that future, not just food for their today, but also for their tomorrow.
• Water and Sanitation - Water is a basic necessity of life and is used in almost everything we do. Our bodies are also made up of a large percentage of water and without this, it becomes increasingly difficult to function and live. Many places that are suffering from poverty today are without clean water. You could help put a stop to this by supporting Islamic Help to provide these people in need with clean and safe water.

As well as these three projects, there are many other areas that Islamic Help actively focuses on. There are so many ways to help those in need; be it by donating or by volunteering. Bend over backwards and go the extra mile with islamichelp.org.uk for someone who needs your help today.

Be that difference in the world.
