10 Most Powerful Days
To
Change the Lives of Children
During the first 10 blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, we reflect on the story of Hajjar (AS) and her search for water for her child, Ismail (AS)— her trust in Allah that led to the miracle of Zamzam.
Today, millions of children face hardship and uncertainty with the same resilience and hope as Hajjar (AS) for a better future. Their positive attitude and smiles despite their circumstances is evidence of their hope in Allah, too.
Many of us are here today because our families sought safety and better opportunities through migration. This Dhul Hijjah, you have the power to help vulnerable children access the very same opportunities our parents and ancestors bravely pursued.

Support a Child, Uplift Generations - The Power of Education
In communities affected by conflict and poverty, education is often the first thing lost and the last to be restored. But through your support, we are changing that. READ Foundation’s education-first mission gives children the chance to break free from the cycle of poverty — just £30 a month can fund a year of schooling, food, safety, and stability.
Your support uplifts: Girls at risk of early marriage through our Empower Her programme, orphans with no one else to rely on, refugee children learning in mobile schools on boats and buses, children in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and beyond — through Safe Learning Spaces.

“There is no deed more precious in the sight of Allah, nor greater in reward , than a good deed done during the ten days of Sacrifice.“ – Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
As we remember the trials of Ibrahim (AS), the unwavering trust of Hajjar (AS), and the sacrifice of Ismael (AS), we are reminded of what it truly means to give for the sake of Allah. In a barren land, a single act of trust and faith gave rise to Zamzam — a source of life that never runs dry. Today, education is that spring for millions of children. Just as the family of Ibrahim (AS) migrated for opportunity and survival, you can help children find a path out of poverty.
