Disaster Relief Fund
Islamic Education Center, Houston has set a Disaster Relief Fund to be able to respond to disasters like the one seen in Haiti. This will be a general fund to respond to disasters and every effort will be made to send the money through the most dependable channels to the disaster for which the donation is made. Any unused funds will stay in the account for future disasters, although we do not forsee this happening at this time given the magnitude of this disaster. Please contribute generously to help alleviate some of the sufferings of the people of Haiti. An online option for donation has been added as well. You may contact any of the Board members or members of the MAHDI group who are coordinating our community's efforts for the current crises in Haiti.

Thank you
