At the Children’s Hospital Trust, we join our beloved Muslim donors in welcoming the blessed month of Ramadan.

Marhaban Ya Ramadan – Welcome to the month of Ramadan

We wish you and your loved ones a month filled with spiritual upliftment and enhanced God-consciousness in all your acts of worship including fasting, giving charity and prayers. Because this auspicious month has many virtues, the rewards of acts of worship performed in this month are multiplied. We therefore invite you to Elevate your Ramadan by donating your Sadaqah Jariyah and help us raise R3 million to help sick little ones.

Sheik Ebrahim videoThis year, we are assisting Victoria Hospital, a sister hospital to Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital to expand their currently cramped and under-ventilated Paediatric Outpatient Department (POPD). Based in the heart of the Southern Suburbs, Cape Town, Victoria Hospital has been serving the community for over 130 years.
The outpatient department has grown to become a place of solace for many parents and children. Six-year-old Abdul’s family visited the department’s Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic because of concerns with his development. They were worried about his attention span deficit and ability to focus at school. He had also showed speech delays.

Abdul Medical professionals at the hospital were able to calm the concerned parents and run some tests on Abdul. Recounting his journey at Victoria Hospital’s POPD, Abdul’s family is filled with deep gratitude. They recognised the benefit of being able to bring their child to a specialist clinic that is much closer to their home.

Abdul is just one of more than 7 000 little ones who benefit from the care at Victoria Hospital. And they need our help.

Their paediatric services include the running of 5 to 6 clinics on a weekly basis, focusing on General Paediatrics, Neurodevelopment, Allergy and Infectious diseases enabling treatment for 7 000 children annually. More importantly, they have been caring for sick little ones, precious children who are our future, and they urgently need our help to continue with their life-saving mission. 100% of your donation will go towards this much-needed upgrade.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) says that actions are judged by their intentions – we are deeply grateful for your intention to support our pledge-a-thon. Shukran for your efforts in helping save the lives of our beloved children – may you be rewarded immeasurably.

Best regards,
Team CHT
