Bosnia Trust Update, Qurbani 2023 and more

Dear Bosnia Trust Supporter,

1. We are very happy to inform you of our Ramadan 1444 activities.

We have been able to support Widows and the Mothers of Bosnia, we have been able to help families in extreme hardship, we have been able to help widows affected by mental health issues, in laws emotional abuse, as well as trauma & death. 

Details are in the link: https://www.bosniatrust.com/#/ramadan-1444-april-2023/

2. We are also able to offer Qurbani services in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Each name/1 share is £175. Or a cow is £1,225 for up to 7 names. Email us your name/s or write the names as a comment.

Our partners have the facilities to prolong the meat life by drying and storing it, enabling the meat to last for weeks after 'Eid.

3. Support Bosnia Trust's Work

As you may know, we have specifically used your funds for the Cow Project or Widows' Project.

We are now aiming to raise at least £8,000 for Bosnia Trust's infrastructure. We want to scale our operations, some details are below. Furthermore, the funds will go towards strengthening our systems, processes as well as publicity & marketing. We will be happy to share this information with supporters who focus on this. This will be a fantastic seed fund for Sadaqah Jariyah, as your support will enable us to continue all of our future efforts.
