Appeal 2011 | Charity Alliance does relief and welfare work in India

Dear Friend,

Assalamu 'alaikum,

The genesis of Charity Alliance in early 2005 was out of the necessity to do something urgently about the starvation deaths in the Jalangi area of Murshidabad, West Bengal. Since then our work in that particular area of Murshidabad continues without any break with the support of people like you, alhamdulillah. We have been distributing ration every week to about 150 families and offering medical aid to them as well. Each year we have been paying the fees and buying books for about 100 students there. In 2008, we also started a Vocational Training Centre there teaching tailoring and zari embroidery to begin with. In May 2009, Alhamdulillah, we set up Alliance School near Jalangi in Murshidabad.

Apart from Murshidabad, which remains our main focus, we also offer financial help on a smaller scale to poor students and individuals for education and medical help in Delhi. Please see report published in the latest issue of The Milli Gazette (16-31 August 2010, p. 17).

For our annual reports and audited financial statements, click here.

The current monthly outlay on these activities in Murshidabad is around Rs 60000, i.e., an annual outlay of Rs 720,000 which will only increase every year as the school opens a new classroom each year necessitating the recruitment of two more teachers each year. Land has been bought in the area and mostly temporary structures are now in place with plans to slowly convert them into permanent structures with your help. Your generous support is needed to continue and expand this work. For more information, please visit www.charityalliance.in where details of our work as well as annual audited reports are found.

Outlays in the financial year (Apr-March) 2010-2011
Rs 144580 was spent on construction work in Alliance School
Rs 81488 was spent on vocational training
Rs 252191 was spent on food and medical relief
Rs 353044 was paid to Alliance School for teacher salaries etc
Rs 30910 was given in Educational Aid
(Total outlay Rs 8,72,913)

This will rise by at least 10 percent in the new year (2011-2012). In addition to this, we need another amount of at least Rs 5 lakh to construct some pucca classrooms this year.

Charity Alliance is very conscious to use every penny of your donation to help some of those who are really poor in our society and cannot rise without the help of an extended hand. Thanks to the administrative and media support by The Milli Gazette which bears the administrative and financial needs of the central office in Delhi, almost every paisa of your support reaches the beneficiaries.

Once again, I thank you very much for your kind support to our mission to take care of some of the most disadvantaged sections of our community through extending food and medical relief and offering educational opportunities to children who otherwise would not go to a school. Your continued support is very much appreciated and needed in order to continue and broaden the sphere of this effort. Your donations to us are Tax exempted u/s 80G.

With warm regards,

Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan
Chairman, Charity Alliance
