As-Siraat Sewing Machine project is an effort to initiate the spark of hard work in the souls looking for opportunities. It aims to empower daily wage earners to have more than their routine. One machine is delivered per month to someone who can use it for the wellbeing of her family. This project is unique as it focusses on regular assistance of needy families instead of one time aid through cash. It is one of the Islamic mannerism and etiquettes to earn with one’s own hand. Through this project, many females have started their own small scale tailoring business.
We check out through different contacts that the person getting machine is:
the real needy i.e. family with the below average income
knows the art of sewing
interested in using the machine over long run
Ramadan Charity Program is an effort to provide physical and spiritual comfort to others in the holy month of Ramdan. It is basically provision of rashan to needy families along with Islamic literature and Aftaar.

Yes, our students of class 5 and class 8 appear and excel in Punjab Education Commission (PEC) board examinations every year. Matric students appear in the examinations held by Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education Bahawalpur (BISE BWP).
Ahmedpur East was selected as it is a rural area where a large chunk of the population lives below the poverty line. The plight of poverty-stricken patients can be witnessed at the government-run hospitals of the area, with their limited facilities and capacity. It was also selected as the logistics of working there suited Team As-Siraat.

Ramadan Charity Program is an effort to provide physical and spiritual comfort to needy families in the holy month of Ramadan. It is basically the provision of rashan packs and Eid clothes to needy families along with organizing free Iftars.
This project aims to empower deserving women and their families to escape the vicious cycle of poverty and helplessness. It seeks to maintain the self-respect of the recipients and enables them to become financially independent and secure rather than always being dependent on others. It initiates the spark of hard work in the recipients, and provides them an opportunity to help in supporting their households.
Master Ayub moved to Islamabad from Mandi Bahauddin in 1986 for his job at the Fire Brigade.
He initially started teaching a small group of approximately 10 children of katchi abadis. Overthe years, hundreds of underprivileged children have graduated from this open-air school, located in a public park in F-6.
Master Ayub sponsors his students to get further education from universities also.
He has received the Pride of Performance award for his efforts over the decades.
With the generous support of various donors, the school building has already been prepared and furnished. The bulk of classes are still primarily held in the park in F-6; the school building is used as-per-need.
