In an inspiring act of generosity, the Muslims of Long Island, in collaboration with the Waris Foundation, are undertaking a transformative project to provide prosthetic limbs to those in need in Pakistan. This initiative will focus on the cities of Chiniot and Faisalabad, where 20 individuals—both children and adults—will receive life-changing prosthetic limbs.
Access to quality prosthetic care is often limited in underserved regions, leaving many individuals struggling with mobility challenges. This project aims to restore independence and dignity to recipients, enabling them to lead fuller and more active lives. By sponsoring these prosthetic limbs, the Muslims of Long Island and the Waris Foundation are not just providing medical aid but also offering hope and a renewed sense of possibility to those who have lost their limbs due to accidents, medical conditions, or congenital disabilities.
This initiative is part of a broader commitment to humanitarian efforts by the Muslim community in Long Island, which has continuously sought ways to make a meaningful impact both locally and globally. By extending their reach to Pakistan, they are reinforcing the values of compassion, service, and community upliftment.
The distribution and fitting of the prosthetic limbs will take place in early 2025, ensuring that each recipient receives personalized care and support. The project organizers hope that this effort will inspire more people to contribute towards life-enhancing medical aid initiatives.
For those looking to support or learn more about this noble cause, further details will be shared in the coming months. Together, through generosity and collective action, we can change lives—one step at a time.
Our mission centers on the core values of Community, Charity, and Compassion. At the height of the pandemic, we focused on ensuring that our neighbors had access to essential resources, including food and basic necessities. Through these efforts, the Muslims of Long Island became a trusted support network for families and individuals grappling with the health and economic effects of the pandemic.
