GROW-Greater Resources for Orphans Worldwide
-
As Salam U Alequm Beloved Brothers And Sisters
I have a small not-for-profit organization (GROW) in Toronto, Canada and my goal is to help orphans around the world. The need for GROW
started with me having the desire to see where my donation was going and helping the orphans hands-on. Along this journey, I located
orphanages around the world struggling to make ends meet.
I partner with these orphanages, help them with their monthly operational costs, sponsor orphans at these orphanages that have not yet
found a donor to provide them with the financial flexibility to accommodate more orphans.
The website of my not-for-profit organization is growworldwide.ca.
Jazak Allah Khair

Jazak Allah for your questions. I would like to provide more information about GROW before someone decides to support it. This organization is brand new. I just registered it in April of this year with the Canadian Revenue Agency. Please contact CRA for confirmation. The Corporation number is 1399274-8. This is a not-for-profit organization. This organization does not have a charitable status. This means that I will not be able to issue tax receipts. Brothers and Sisters that are looking for a tax receipt for income tax purposes, please do not donate to this organization.
My vision is to work with orphanages around the world. But, since I just started last month, I am just starting with one orphanage in Pakistan which from my research was the most in need. Since my launch, I have not received any donations yet. A few events were held in the orphanage where food was distributed and the support for that was provided from my family members.
Also, before someone considers donating, one very important point. So far, all the communication that I have had with the orphanages is through Whatsapp Video Call. For example, one event was held on Sunday where the orphans wanted to eat pizza. I posted pictures of this event on the website. The Manager bought pizza and send me the receipt and pictures of the event.
For my brothers and sisters that are looking to donate to an organization that has a team on the ground where the support is being provided, please do not donate to this organization.
Please message me if you have any more questions. Jazak Allah Kahir
As Salam U Alequm
