For the beneficiaries, it is a life-changing experience. They are not only fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting the holy city of Karbala but also strengthening their faith and spiritual connection. The journey allows them to witness the universal message of Imam Hussein (AS) in action as they come into contact with millions of fellow pilgrims, all united by their love for justice and their devotion to God. The charity’s efforts inspire others to join in the cause of helping those in need, fostering a spirit of unity and philanthropy.’
