STAY AWAY

STAY AWAY! These guys are the no.1 scammers in the Charity sector.They use the money of honest and hard-working people to fill their own pockets - this has been verified!Absolutely shameful, hope they get what they deserve in this life and the hereafter.

Stay away from these scammers the money…

Stay away from these scammers the money we donate only a small percentage reaches people in need if that and majority these thieves pocket. Same with a marriage app these guys run where they send spam fake messages from fake profiles run by their scamming team to get you to pay for their membership. You rather donate to people you can physically give to rather than organisations like this.

No money back for goods

Paid for dates that that was supposed to come before Ramadan this year and never received it or my £35 back. Called several times to no avail. Disgusting and shameful as it was supposed to be donated to Gaza. Don't trust them with your hard earned money

This has to be a scam

This has to be a scam! Donated a hefty amount for an orphanage project and it turned out to be a phantom. No updates, no construction, just empty promises. I regret every penny given to this deceitful scheme.

Bad XP

Beware of this scam! I invested a large sum in what I thought was a noble cause, only to find out that the project doesn’t exist. The lack of accountability is shocking.

I’ve been scammed

I’ve been scammed! My generous donation for an orphanage construction has led nowhere. No progress, no communication, just a glaring void where a charitable project should have been. It’s a disgraceful scam.

Scammed and heartbroken

Scammed and heartbroken, I donated in good faith for an orphanage that never materialized. The lack of progress and accountability from this organization is a clear indicator of their deceitful practices.

Edit: since placing the 1 star review here I have received my items. So I am upgrading to two stars. Given I had reached out before placing the review here with no response I feel that 2 is fair. Given my experience though I will not be having any further interactions with this charity Original reviewI bought Ramadan dates with special edition tins. They have never been delivered nor will anyone answer an email asking for an update. Do not buy it donate to them

Untrustworthy IMO

Sorry to say after reading the yearly statements submitted on companies house, your company isn't really a charity is it especially when the CEO/Founder is taking a large salary not only that but the the amount of donations received and the amount of actual money spent on charity, there is a huge disparity. Also a charity water well was done by a brother and sister separately, they both get the exact same picture of the same well but the names are doctored, so it makes me wonder how many times has that one specific water well picture has been used with multiple names, to me that would indicate FRAUD. I have zero trust in this charity.
