Executive Summary
The Neo Youth Foundation is proud to propose an ongoing initiative aimed at sponsoring hifth students from South Africa to lead Taraweeh Salah in Chile during the blessed month of Ramadan. Since its inception in 2022, this initiative has successfully sent 12 hufaadth, with a total of R380,000 raised and used to cover their travel, accommodation, and living expenses.
This initiative seeks to support the growing Muslim community in South America, where the seeds of Islam are beginning to flourish once again after nearly two centuries of historical challenges. By providing spiritual leadership through qualified hufaadth, we aim to strengthen the local community and promote the teachings of the Quran.
Our financial goal for the upcoming phase of this initiative is R440,000, which will cover all necessary expenses for the next group of hifth students.
Why This Initiative?
Historically, the message of Islam reached South America at the same time as it did in South Africa, yet it struggled to establish a strong presence. Today, we see a renewed interest in Islam, with communities slowly forming and spreading across the continent.
This initiative addresses the urgent need for spiritual guidance and leadership within the Muslim community in Chile, empowering them through the teachings of the Quran. By sponsoring hifth students to lead Taraweeh Salah, we aim to create a lasting impact that carries the community through to the next Ramadan and beyond.
