For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Islamic Relief USA. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal. I've included information about Islamic Relief USA below.

Islamic Relief USA provides relief and development in a dignified manner regardless of gender, race, or religion, and works to empower individuals in their communities and give them a voice in the world.

Funds will go to projects such as these:

Women Can! Project in WestBank

Palestinian Women are Becoming Entrepreneurs in Palestine

"Women Can!" provides material assistance, training and mentoring to women launching small enterprises in the West Bank.

This program aims to train 100 women and provide their business start-up materials and ongoing mentoring. Special attention will be placed on recruiting female-head households to start small enterprises.
