The Anouar Association is a nonprofit organization that has been working for the poor and downtrodden for a long time. It has been about 40 years now that the Anouar Association, under the Chairmanship of Md. Dekkak has been doing this work. It is working to increase awareness among people about various issues.
The Mission
The mission of the Anouar Association is to serve underprivileged children and uncared-for elders. It strives to offer sustenance to poor children and helpless elders. Despite being an Arab organization, it does not confine itself within the boundaries of the Arab world. It can help children and elders in other geographies if need be. It has taken up a mission. The Mission is to help poor children and adults become self-reliant so that they don’t get sucked into the chasm of modern society. Indeed, there is a chasm in modern society. The chasm is between the old conservative and modern views of living. It is as much between the older and the younger generation as between the societal views cherished by these two generations. This is leading to the degradation of the society. Families are falling apart, and elders are becoming exposed to the harsh outside world. There are times when there is no one to care for elders in families. What do such elders do? How do they sustain themselves? These are the questions that disturbed Md’s mind. Dekkak. This is the reason that he founded the Anouar Association. However, children are a big part of the works of the Anouar Association. Uplifting the condition of poor and underprivileged children is the main work of this association.
To serve poor children and underprivileged adults, it focuses on several areas. It strives to help elders and children in areas like Education, Water, Health, Sports Activities, Sustainable Development, Community Development, etc. With this aim, it has already raised money to build a school for children. It has raised $35,000 so far and desires to raise $40,000.
Destitute children and elders also need healthcare and development. This is why the Anouar Association focuses on healthcare and sustainable development. Sports activities are an integral part of healthcare. So, the organization helps and supports poor children in engaging in sports.
In order to bring change on a massive scale, you need to work for community development. Communities need to be taken up in clusters and provided with all the resources and encouragement. This can have an all-round effect on helpless elders as well as poor children in the community. Seeing poor children grow up to be self-reliant and responsible citizens of tomorrow is a joy. Mr. Dekkak is really enjoying it.
The Vision
The association believes that there is potential in every child. You just need to nourish it to let it bloom with all the colors. You just need to stoke the desire burning inside every poor child and elder. They will take care of themselves. Encouragement and motivation can go a long distance in realizing this potential. The association strives to impart good education and healthcare to nourish the potential of these children.
There are elders in society who need care and sustenance. These elders may have fallen out of favor with their family members. They may even be rendered helpless due to financial conditions. Either way, they need succor. The Anour foundation can offer them much-needed succor. They also need a means of sustenance. So, the association strives to help them earn a living for themselves. The vision is to help these helpless elders and poor children with voluntary help, fundraising with an objective, and supporting them. It has a wide base of volunteers and running projects.
You need to bring about a societal change in perception towards families, children, and the elderly. To do this, you need to bring about a change in people’s perceptions of various issues. The annual association is doing just that. Societal issues cause families to fall apart and elders to become helpless. Many of these children are either becoming recluse and are becoming aggressive. This can have serious repercussions in the future. The association wants to help and involve poor children and elders in sustainable and community development. Modern society does not care much about these children. These children may ultimately bring a much-needed change in the societal outlook.
Modern ways of living and other practices are breaking families apart. In such families, children are often at the receiving end. Elders, too, are helpless in geographies around the world. Both changing family values and pecuniary compulsions are to be blamed for negligence and abuse of elders by their children. Elders also need to be provided with means to support themselves. That is why the association helps poor elders by providing these elders with some kind of livelihood.
However, in its continuous pursuit of good for underprivileged children, it has founded schools and has also been active in motivating the children in these schools. It provides gifts and study aids to these children. Children are the future of every geography, and the Arab world is no different. This is why they need proper training and education to become fine human beings. All said and done, building schools and engaging in such a wide range of activities is difficult. You need a big investment for that. This is why they are asking for a donation from everybody. Apart from this, they also undertake community development programs and sustainable development programs so that the number of underprivileged children and elders comes down.
