ZCSS Haiti

NASIMCO in partnership with The World Federation is pleased to introduce the Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS) in Haiti during this Ashara-e-Zainabiya 1433 AH. 

 

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and the Al Mahdi Islamic School is the only Shia Muslim School in the country. Children who are turned away from the school end up on the streets. Some of these children are orphans. All of these children live in poverty.

 

During Ashara-e-Zainabiya this year and as part of the ZCSS Scheme, you have the opportunity to sponsor and enrich these children immeasurably by infusing their minds with knowledge and their hearts with the love of the Ahlul Bayt (as). Imam Ali (as) said: "Knowledge is Life". Give child in Haiti a life by sponsorship of $20 per month. Write to NASIMCO Secretariat for more information or donate online.

 
NASIMCO Skills and Census Data Form

Ever needed medical or legal advice from a community member, but had no one to turn to?

 

Ever wondered why Jamaats look outside the community for assistance when professionals exist within?

 

The answer to these types of questions is that currently there is no resource or database that can be utilized for the purpose of finding professionals or experts within our community. This is a deep-rooted problem, which hinders the progress and development of our community worldwide.

 

To tackle this problem, NASIMCO has undertaken an ambitious and exciting project: collecting professional/skills census data from every North American community member. In this survey, just as in our communities, everyone has a role to play. Filling out these forms will ensure that you and your children do not miss out on prospective opportunities.

eLearn with NASIMCO

E-Learning stands for "electronic learning" and allows individuals to acquire knowledge from the comfort of their own homes. NASIMCO has realized the need for a structured Islamic learning portal that can be accessed by anyone throughout the world. We are therefore happy to announce our new initiative, eLEARN: eLearning - Edification and Achievement in Religion by NASIMCO. At our recent conference, NASIMCO officially launched its e-Learning whitepaper. Within the next year, we hope that eLEARN will be available on a computer near you!

Although the Canadian Government's Matching Fund is now closed, the relief efforts continue and the World Federation is doing as much as possible in this starvation-sticken area. Dr Moledina, President of the World Federation, recently visited the region. He made the following statement after visiting a camp in Mogadishu: "They were staring at us with sunken dried up eyes and shrivelled skin hoping that we could do something to help them."
