Support Rohingya Refugees in dire need! Since 2014 the us-Sunnah Foundation has been local and volunteer based with our 100% donation policy you can trust.


Summary: We need to reach our extended goal to continue helping and expand more homes for widows with orphans.

Note: our previous campaign was closed due to LaunchGood changing payment processors and end of the year but raised enough to build 250 homes to provide long-term and stable shelter cooperatively with local farmers and land owners as well as food and medical supplies over the past few years.  We need your help to expand and continue, inshaa' Allah!

NOTE: Many have asked how to donate large amounts from banks or when a card does not work here.  Donations can be made with NO fees using any bank or credit card at ussunnah.org/giving

The continuous dehumanization and mistreatment of Rohingya, the most persecuted minorities, is still the world’s largest emergency now.

Qadrallah, Rohingya refugees now are facing the other crisis from natural disaster such as floods, mudslides and the outbreak diseases in this monsoon. We won’t let them face it alone. You and us, we can help!

If you concern about this issue, the best way you can help them is through the donation which go directly and effectively to the Rohingyas!

The us-Sunnah Foundation has cooperated with the refugees, aid workers, and other partners on-site to deliver your donations and help directly to the Rohingya community.

We try our best to make sure your help can reach Rohingya and would not be confiscated by the government nor the local army.

​The Progress of Caring and Helping with us-Sunnah

In Rakhine, Myanmar we helped the Rohingya community directly by the help of aid-workers and partners on site. Alhamdulillāh, from the donations we collected, we have built over 250 shelters and provided almost 3 million meals. We need your continous help to reach our target $500.000, with this target we try to double our help to make the other shelter for the children and provide them with consistent meals.

Us-Sunnah Foundation also has helped thousands of Rohingya refugees who sought refuge in Aceh, Indonesia since 2015 (See: goo.gl/hvyrFG) along with our partners.

We and our partner still try our best to help Rohingya in Rakhine and

 Aceh as well, so please don’t miss! Save the World’s most persecuted minorities now!

This year and the orphans in need..

Asalaamu'alaikum,

The us-Sunnah Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit charity in the US and Indonesia that cares for at risk and needy orphans.  With a waqf that covers basic operational costs every donation goes 100% to the orphans, is zakat eligible, and tax deductible.  Together with your donation and our local volunteers, we have been changing the lives or orphans for over a decade, alhamdulillah.

This year has been very difficult as some long time donors have been unable to help as much as before.  With the decline in donations this has been the first time that we have had to cut back and help less orphans since we were founded.  For our volunteers on the ground it is heart breaking to see the orphans that we're unable to help.

With the year almost over we wanted to reach out to everyone and plea for you to help with whatever Allah has given you and share with the needy orphans.  You can donate directly on LaunchGood at our campaign setup for the coming year at, launchgood.com/relief

You can also donate with less fees or a recurring monthly option to donate for each months food distribution to our hundreds of orphans at ussunnah.org/orphans

Jazakallahu khair,
Ali Camarata

Update on your donation with us!

The us-Sunnah Foundation (ussunnah.org) is a registered 501c3 charity that has been helping orphans and refugees for over a decade by the mercy of Allah and our great donors such as yourself.  Every donation is tax-deductible and zakat-eligible.

Your charity is an amanat which is why we are completely volunteer based with a waqf to cover any administrative needs.  This means we have a true 100% donation policy so every donation makes a maximum impact and difference in a young life.  Actually many of our volunteers were orphans we helped when our mission began over a decade ago.

 

Today we need to ask your support again, both by donating as well as copying and posting this message to your social media to spread the word.  We currently care for 200 orphans at a cost of $50 per orphan per month (or $10,000 per month).  Unfortunately we have less than half of that from recurring donations which makes it hard to consistently care for each orphan's needs and many are not able to be cared for many months.

Please donate any amount, either one-time or recurring monthly, to feed an orphan today at:   ussunnah.org/orphans

You can also give to our waqf to establish your donation as a sadaqat al-jariyah.  These funds are invested instead of spent immediate and then give recurring funds to help orphans.  As an example, $100 donated when we were founded has actually provided ~$404 to feed orphans over the last decade.  If you or anyone you know can give any amount at all to this then please donate today at:   ussunnah.org/waqf

Jazakallahu khair,

Ali Camarata

Your support has changed so many lives!

The us-Sunnah Foundation has been active for over a decade helping thousands of orphans and refugees.  We are run by local volunteers with a waqf that covers our basic operational costs.  This means every donation goes 100% to helping those in need and is completely tax-deductible (501c3) and zakat-eligible.

As a past donor via LaunchGood you have helped to provide:

4,270,000+ Meals

33,800+ Relief Packs

300+ Rohingya Shelters

250+ Orphans Sponsored

We are calling on all past donors to once again help orphans in dire need together again.  We need to raise ~$7,900 right away to give our 200 orphans food, shelter, medical, and school aid.  Your support has changed lives, for the sake of Allah lets do this again, inshaa' Allah!

Donate now @ launchgood.com/relief

Note, we help orphans ongoing every month.  If you would like to sponsor them by donating recurring you can do that on our site at ussunnah.org/orphans and choose the “monthly” option when donating.

Jazakallahu khair!

Can you help the remaining 85 orphans in need?


Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,


Donate at, ussunnah.org


UPDATE: Our monthly orphan campaign to feed 200 orphans each month currently has enough to feed 115 orphans at the end of June.  That leaves ~85 orphans at a cost of $50 per orphan per month to provide them with an entire month of food, education assistance to stay in school, and any emergency medical needs.  Please share this campaign and donate whatever you are able to.. every dollar makes a difference.


The us-Sunnah Foundation has been helping orphans and refugees for over a decade with a consistent mission.  We have provided almost 5 million meals and helped thousands of orphans.  Many of our original orphans from a decade ago are adult volunteers today!


We have an endowment (Waqf) that covers all operations and are locally run by volunteers.  This makes us very efficient so that we can offer a 100% donation policy so every dollar goes to helping!

Jazakallahu khair,

us-Sunnah Team



We conduct our work on a monthly basis and encourage all who can to set up recurring donations, ensuring consistent and uninterrupted support each month for our orphans.

URGENT, 126 orphans will not be fed unless...

Asalaamu'alaikum,


[URGENT] This month is estimated to only have enough donations for 74 orphans unless we get new donors and donations!  That leaves 126 orphans we care for that will go without dire food help...

​The us-Sunnah Foundation has been helping orphans for over a decade declining donations since COVID, especially the recurring monthly donors, is threatening to end their mission of helping 200 orphans every month (at $50 per orphan).


Please share this message with as many as you can and make a donation of any amount you personally are capable of to help orphans in dire need today.

Asalaamu'alaikum,


We've updated our campaign page with the most recent two distributions!

UPDATE: So far this month we've raised just  $4,939  of the $10k goal to feed our 200 orphans.  Just one week remaining in April.  With our 100% donation policy, every dollar goes to food in the mouths of orphans.  Just $50 per orphan feeds them for the entire month!

Ramadan Mubarak from the orphans!

Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,


Ramadan Mubarak from everyone at the us-Sunnah Foundation and our hundreds of orphans that you have helped throughout the last 10 years!  We've just uploaded the most recent video to the below campaign link from last week where we distributed hundreds of food packages and a special Eid gift to the orphans thanks to donations from you and all donors.


Ramadan is always a blessed time with more donations for the needy but the orphans' hunger doesn't end today.  We MUST raise $10,000 every month to feed them but currenly only have 116 recurring donors giving $4,063 per month.  We need everyone's help to pledge to sponsor an orphan for just $50 per month, every month, right now on our site, insyaa' Allah!

Amazing! Only $600 left to feed 200 orphans!

Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,


We're entering the last 10 days of Ramadan.  While we all know the blessings of this month and these days, this month has also been an immense blessing to the orphans we help in Indonesia.  This March was the first time we have come even close to raising our  full goal and will allow us to help all 200 orphans this coming distribution.  There is still one day left to donate the remaining $600 for the distribution happening Monday.


During the final days of this blessed month we encourage you and everyone you know to maximize your blessings establish a recurring donation as we enter April so that we can continue to help every orphan, every month, consistently, inshaa' Allah.  You can see photos and videos of our work, as well as donate right now at:

Ramadan Mubarak — Celebrate with an orphan!

Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,


Ramadan Mubarak!

The moon was not sighted in Indonesia and they will begin fasting on Tuesday but it was later sighted and many in the West will be fasting Monday (March 11).  We wanted to be the first to greet you for this holy month and ask that Allah accepts your fasting, your deeds, your charity, and grants you the highest level in Jannatul Firdaus al-Ala, ameen.


We have an extremely important goal this month to raise $20,000 to help a thousand orphans and this campaign will continue throughout Ramadan.  We also have our normal campaign to help hundreds of orphans with the monthly goal of $10,000.  As a registered and certified 501c3 campaigns are completely tax deductible, zakat eligible, and can also be used to pay fidiyah or kafarah.


The us-Sunnah Foundation covers all operations via our established waqf and is completely run by local volunteers for efficiency and to offer direct, intimate help for maximum impact in the lives of our orphans.  This allows us a true 100% donation policy so you know exactly what your donations are doing.


So get the full benefit of this month and donate as much as you are able to help orphans.  Remember if you relay this and someone else donates, you will also share in their reward.  So donate today and help an orphan below:

Monthly Program :: https://www.ussunnah.org/orphans


Ramadan Program :: https://www.ussunnah.org/ramadan

While our website allows for monthly donations and offers lower fees, we are an official partner with LaunchGood.  If you prefer their platform you can donate to either campaign at launchgood.com/relief or launchgood.com/ramadan1445

Your Donation in Action & Our Next Steps ?

Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,

Your donation in action, read below! (Annual Update)


🌱 A Decade of Difference


The us-Sunnah Foundation was founded in February 2014, so we're celebrating one decade together with our donors, like you!  In our first few years our founders purchased and established multiple rice fields, low-income apartments, and a small warehouse to begin our operations before opening up for donations online.  Together we have provided over 4 million meals, helped thousands in need, build hundreds of shelters, and have continuously supported hundreds of orphans every month.


Our Waqf covers all overhead while being run purely by local volunteers who live alongside the orphans makes us extremely efficient and more effective than large organizations.  Many of our original orphans lead fulfilling lives today and are even volunteers to uplift the next generation now!  We've worked hard to make sure every dollar donated is an amanat (trust) that makes the most impact and of course we have a true 100% donation policy thanks to our Waqf.


🚀 Immediate Opportunities


We currently have two urgent needs to ask everyone's support on that are time sensitive to get done before Ramadan begins in about a month:

1. Our team has acquired a good warehouse from our local community but it needs renovation to be used as our new headquarters for relief work.  This will allow us to expand our work from hundreds, to thousands, of orphans.  We need only ~$5,000 to get this fully functional.  We have a one-time donation link via Stripe for this:

→ https://donate.ussunnah.org/b/bIY8xGcOV595a2cdQR

2. Our team has 1,000 local orphans that we wish to feed hot meals for iftar on the first day of Ramadan next month and then also give them a month supply of food to feed these orphans for the entire month of Ramadan.  Not only are you feeding fasting people, but also feeding orphans in need.  It is a charity upon charity and 100% of your donation goes to these food bags.  As they are iftar focused the cost is just $20 per orphan with a goal of $20,000 to feed them all.  You can view photos of our past Ramadan events and donate right now at:

→ https://www.ussunnah.org/ramadan



🌍 Elevating Our Impact


Finally we've updated our website with brand new features and stability directly using Stripe for a better donor experience and with more photos, documentation, and more for our campaigns.  We really need more recurring monthly donors to assist our mission long-term and would love if everyone could consider a donation or share our mission far and wide with everyone you know to help bring us to the next level of helping thousands of orphans every month.  Our primary long-term campaigns on our site are:

1. Orphans Relief (Monthly) —
This is our primary campaign to feed and help 200 orphans every month for just $50 per orphan per month.  This is an extremely efficient campaign that needs your support every month.  Supported by our Waqf every donation goes 100% to helping our orphans.  You can view photos and donate at:


→ https://www.ussunnah.org/orphans



2. Orphans Waqf — This is honestly the most efficient way we've ever seen to make a difference and impact.  Funds donated are invested and both increase in asset value while providing monthly income until the end of time, long after we pass away.  Our waqf already consists of multiple rice fields, low-income apartments, and our warehouse that aid in our mission but we are now focused on Islamic Bonds.  These stable and well regulated bonds take your one-time donation and provide monthly recurring income while also compounded annually.  Just $100 donated today will give $280 over the next 10 years and have a value of ~$515... and continue to give for years and years after that.  You can read more and donate at:


→ https://www.ussunnah.org/waqf



3. Rohingya Refugees — We began helping the Rohingya after they arrived in Indonesia in 2015.  With your help we built hundreds of shelters, helped thousands of refugees, and worked directly with the government and local partners to provide meaningful long-term relief.  The refugees are still unable to return home and need ongoing care for basic needs.  You can view photos and donate at:


→ https://www.ussunnah.org/rohingya



🤲 Join Us Again


We reach out to you, our cherished community, to embrace these opportunities for Sadaqat al-Jariyah. Together, let's sow seeds of kindness that bloom into gardens of grace for those in need.

Thank you for being part of this decade-long journey. Here's to many more years of making a meaningful difference, hand in hand.

Last Chance for January

Image


Asalaamu'alaikum,


This month we updated our payment processor account with Stripe to take multiple forms of payments including regional payment options and bank transfers.  We've updated our site to a temporary site which has the new donation widget and is ready for donations via Stripe.  We will be getting our full site back up in February, insyaa' Allah.


With only 3 days left in January we are short just $3,150 or enough for 63 orphans for the food distribution we will be doing next week.  Please share our website with friends, families, social media, and anywhere else to help.  If you're able to donate any amount towards our orphans then please do so at, https://www.ussunnah.org


For videos of our previous distributions please see our YouTube channel.
