Al-Mizan Charitable Trust
(UK, 1135752) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,242.00Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is a UK funder that supports disadvantaged individuals and families living in poverty through small grants and interest-free loans of up to £500.Recently we funded 24 year old Layla, who is a refugee from war-torn Congo, where she was raped by a militia group at the age of 15 years. She fled her home country, with her grandmother, after her family were killed. Settled in the UK, she married a few years ago, but her husbance was violent towards her. After becoming pregnant, she fled her husband’s home, afraid that her husband’s regular beatings would harm her unborn child. She now lives in a hostel, sharing a room with a crack addict. Layla works 25 hours a week on minimum wage as a cleaner, earning just £152 per week (gross), struggling to meet her basic living costs. She is also paying back the loan for her grandmother’s funeral costs, who passed away last year. She wants to go to college, to improve her English, but government subsidies for ESOL classes have now been cut. She applied to the Trust for £200.Although the UK benefits from a welfare system, the sheer reality is that many fall through the gaps, or simply do not have enough to survive. We need your help to give needy individuals and families, the chance to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
