Reflecting on our religious and cultural teachings reminds us that assisting those in need is not only a moral duty and religious obligation but also a noble value deeply rooted in Iranian-Islamic culture.

In recent years, economic challenges and various crises have made it increasingly difficult for many people to meet their basic needs. Rising prices, unemployment, and unfavorable economic conditions have left numerous families struggling to sustain their livelihoods. In such circumstances, community and charitable support are more crucial than ever.

Helping underprivileged members of society not only alleviates their financial burdens but also strengthens social solidarity and fosters a culture of empathy and cooperation.

During economic hardships, charities play a pivotal role in supporting vulnerable populations. These organizations, particularly in times of economic, social, and natural crises, assist both the government and the public in addressing challenges faced by those in need. By collecting public donations, providing essential supplies to struggling families, distributing food and hygiene packages, and supporting employment initiatives, charities significantly mitigate the negative effects of economic crises.

At the Dr. Mostafa Naraghi Charity Foundation, we have always strived— with the support of volunteers and generous benefactors— to provide for the basic needs, educational and medical services, and empowerment opportunities of those under our care.

As we approach the Day of Kindness and Generosity, I invite everyone who has the means to extend a helping hand to those in need. Every contribution, big or small, can profoundly impact individual lives and society as a whole. These contributions may take various forms, including monetary and in-kind donations or volunteering time for charitable activities.

Finally, as we welcome the holy month of Ramadan, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for all to benefit from its blessings. I sincerely hope that through collective efforts and by harnessing the vast potential of kindness and generosity, we can bring about meaningful change—aiding the underprivileged and empowering vulnerable communities.

With gratitude and hope for brighter days ahead,

Ali Nasr & Nahaleh Naraghi
