Monthly giving repeats the same gift every month — one child screened each month, rather than one child once.

Many of our donors give as Sadaqah Jariyah, in memory of a parent or in celebration of a birth or a wedding. Tell us the name and we will record the gift against it, and send a card to whomever you choose.
Every donation is acknowledged, and larger gifts are reported on individually.
