During our annual Ramadan Appeal, we ask you to support our important work in nurturing the minds and spirits of our students and our community at New Horizon School Pasadena. Your support enables us to continue our work of providing our students with an excellent academic education with firm grounding in moral and ethical values. As with all independent schools, we rely on extra support above and beyond tuition and fees to keep our school moving forward ensuring the best possible up-to-date well-rounded program to prepare our future leaders.
In the spirit of Ramadan, and in following the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), supporting our neighbors is deeply emphasized in Islam and is considered an important part of our faith.
In response to the devastating fires that have impacted countless families in Altadena, we are partnering with Masjid Al-Taqwa to provide direct and immediate support to those in urgent need. A portion of the funds raised through our Ramadan campaign will be donated directly to the Masjid’s Zakat Fund, ensuring that every contribution goes towards covering essential costs for fire victims. Together, we can help those affected by the fire recover and heal. Your generosity can bring hope during this difficult time.
For our Partner Charity last year, thanks to your support, we contributed over $6,800 to KinderUSA, providing humanitarian aid to our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Donations made to New Horizon School Pasadena are also Zakat-eligible. According to scholars, Zakat includes all beneficial works and projects that support the community such as building and supporting schools, mosques, hospitals, etc. By giving to an educational institution, you are fulfilling your zakat obligations especially given the school’s Flexible Tuition Program that allows families of all socio-economic levels to access an excellent education in an Islamic environment.
Thank you for your ongoing support and love for our community!
