The Prophet ﷺ said, ❝The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this (holding two fingers together).❞

How Does It Work?

The us-Sunnah Foundation (501c3) provides monthly emergency food relief to the neediest widows and orphans in Indonesia every month while establishing long-term solutions to poverty. This program will collect donations and then use them to buy food wholesale at the best price possible; then package and distribute via our volunteers directly to the hands of the needy. This campaign is eligible for Zakat, Fidyah (for not fasting), or Kafarah (expiation of breaking an oath) by directly feeding the needy.

What Will We Achieve?

Allah says, ❝Be good to orphans and the needy.❞ (Surat al-Baqarah, 2:83)

The us-Sunnah Foundation was founded to be unique and with the specific purpose of long-term and meaningful impact. Combined with other efforts in dawah, education, job training, youth programs, and so on our goal is to eliminate the cycle of poverty and work towards the betterment of the Ummah. This is revival of the true Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, who spent his days caring for the people and built our Ummah, as a community focused on caring for the most needy, in Medinah and beyond.

Therefore, by donating even a single dollar you would be contributing towards the betterment of many orphans and the continuing of the Prophet’s ﷺ mission of building the Ummah up from the bottom of society and empowering everyone to a better future, inshaa’ Allah.

A Message From Our Founder

Asalaamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

This is Ali Camarata, founder of the us-Sunnah Foundation. I was born and raised as a Christian in the US and joined the military when I was 17. After 9/11, like many others, I hated Muslims because of what the media said about Islam. While browsing the internet for anti-Islam reasons I stumbled upon real information from dawah sites and ended up converting to Islam. Alhamdulillah!

I now live in Indonesia along with my family where our organization works for the betterment of the needy, orphans, and widows in the Greater Jakarta area. Together with the help of volunteers and generous donors we provide basic food staples to very deserving families with a focus on orphans and widows. We also aim to establish a Dawah and Charity Center as our long-term vision of establishing a self-sustainable model to eradicate the cycle of poverty. In Sha Allah.

I need your support to help our brothers and sisters in distress. Every penny counts so donate as much as you can. May Allah reward you with best of rewards here and in the hereafter, Aameen.
