Muslims are traditionally encouraged to help those in distress often by doing good deeds discreetly and unobtrusively. But in the 1980s in the face of disasters and conflicts involving muslim communities in many parts of the world Islamic Charities began to go public with their projects d d. Since then theyve distributed many billions of dollars in aid worldwide donated by governments organizations and private individuals to refugee camps in turkey.

Ill have a son is being a bit of a sleepy head this morning but he has to get up at 5 am he prays its a frugal breakfast consisting of tried dates and then brushes his teeth. I have a son bought is 11 years old his family sent him to this Religious School 3 years ago. Allah has sent goes home just twice a year the rest of the time hes cared for by diablo his quranic teacher is good reputation extends well beyond the borders of the mali and capital. Other. When i was away out in la i was raised this way as were our parents and our parents parents there was a remark i mean we were all brought up this way but i only know older we raised the children too. Teach them the koran. We take care of them look after their health their clothing and their behavior but we also give them enough time enough and so they can relax they will watch it in our world and your fault. Koran schools are becoming increasingly popular in mali there are now of the 6000 instructors and roughly 150000 pupils. Ill have son was sent here because his parents could no longer provide for him and a quranic teacher may not turn any child away i forgot about providing for a child is difficult to work out at 1st i had big financial problems i even had to sell my radio to pay for food or dont do i dont know how the local people found out but they asked for help on my behalf and i think if people want their children to learn the koran properly they need to support the koran teachers or im going to walk out of whatever. The pupils of the quran school known here as the taliban is live on the fringes of modern society. They come from the slums where they have little to eat and are often mistreated. So. Some of them are forced to beg to survive children have no rights here. In mali half the population live below the poverty line. Is science has been active here since 2003 and mainly focuses on 2 issues often mentioned in the quran access to clean Drinking Water and china. Our protection. Last visit when you intervene in a Quranic School which has function for years and years while being excluded from society is not easily met the quranic masters mistrust external partners the extent that the we are not subject to a classic framework imposed by big donors who tell you that for 3 years will work on this issue and after 3 years going to finance it anymore. When the as i have goes into a zone it can commit to staying a long time trust takes time thanks to 2000000 euro annual budget for marley they were able to start a Pilot Project here to better the peoples living conditions. Are you ok bring him up a rope a good heads the project do you remember the calabash school the one thats having the Building Work down yes can we please return there the school having worked on yes thats it we. Are all bad girl has been doing id work for 7 years for the last 3 shes lived in bamako. The young frenchwoman isnt muslim yet shes allowed to enter the koran school thats because the organization she works for the s. I. If is respected here. Banned because she respects muslim customs. Why do you put on a headscarf when were going to Quranic School where there are chronic masters. Inside the schools the women are veiled. So its simply out of respect for the place were going and for the people were seeing. Here its a personal initiative and. Thats the really low a role wants to inspect the renovation work at the school where al her son studies and where his quran mastodon who teaches. Her. Will follow you. So thats the cesspit its the cesspit for the latrines. Finally the taliban is the peoples of the Quranic School and getting toilets Running Water and a roof over their heads thats not in danger of collapsing. Oh im going to get a double swinging door to pass through easier easily. Ok ok so you put the sheet metal here its coming along. The classrooms are located above the sleeping area the construction work is a confidence Building Measure it took a year for the teachers to accept assayas involvement look a lot of n. G. O. S have come here made contact with people tried to register the children at the schools ago made promises and then never came back and as a result its true that when we arrived we had a lot of work to do and had to get results very quickly saying we are doing what we promised. In just one month this will all look as good as new yet prayers wont be held in our her sons school the s i f doesnt commit proselytising because the ngo adheres to the code of conduct of the International Red cross here the main goal is Child Protection live well and has a son and his 210 schoolmates learn to read and write in french and i will get them. Medical to do that as we do solve a very deceptive lecture although bambara is more widely spoken french is mollys official language so its essential for these childrens futures that they learn it its a new School Subject introduced by sie if the teacher tells the children about the sounds produced by certain pairs of letters by lineal descent let. I silly. Said about us all for the us will use a little. That is silly. In for little but nothing was well you know for buddy and i already am. What i say if it doesnt come to do you. So come see the quran teacher and his colleagues have asked for these french courses so their pupils will later have a better chance of finding work hes learning russian along with them. Early out there larry dont. Let drink the walk so its not always easy because its a place to learn the koran so initially it wasnt suitable for that so. Sometimes there was a reluctance on the part of the pupils parents who said no im bringing my child here just so that he can learn the current condition after talking to the parents and explaining the reason behind it which is to increase the employee ability of the youngsters and give them access to basic rights to him which is in danger without knowing french. Its access to rights understanding them and your duty source tells us how to become a responsible citizen you have to learn this language because its necessary to protect yourself and to integrate in society. Today so by helping the pupils to a Brighter Future is a way of tackling the poverty that often provides a breeding ground for all for radical movements in a country in which armed Islamist Groups spread terror and violence Quranic Schools remain highly controversial most western aid organizations refuse to have anything to do with them so its i have some aid work in mali is a delicate balancing act one thats inspired by islam but transcends religious boundaries. Ronnie brown is a former president of medicine here from all these are not going to cover you weve worked with them for years just like with other religious organizations. Even when the communication with these organizations wasnt always easy. Good for food in general is always a bit of mistrust between the secular and religious organization of this is not just islamic ones though whether it be dilutive or how true differences or simply because many people are mistrustful of religious ideology.
