Al-Burhan Group, long-renowned for their charitable efforts in Iraq, have ensured that such much-needed work has continued this year. As Iraq faces new and challenging demands on a daily basis, Al-Burhan Group is committed towards ensuring that Iraqis are provided support at all junctures.

Such support has come in the form of the Sayida Ruqaya Shrine, in the Holy City of Najaf. For many years the Shrine had been derelict; unable to be used by residents for essential prayers. Noticing the Shrine's desperate need for rehabilitation, in 2008 Al-Burhan Group began the steady process of funding and managing the Shrine's resurgence and restitution. As of March 2014 the residents of Najaf can boast a beautifully revamped Shrine, capable of catering to the prayers of visiting pilgrims in their hundreds, now able to worship in a historical symbol secured for future generations.

Al-Burhan Group's charitable activity continued in to the year. With the Burhan family holding strong personal and familial ties to the region of Kut, Al-Burhan Group recognised the need for the homeless and displaced Iraqis in the area to be housed. Thus, the Asmaa Allah Al-Husna Charity Project was established, which will see Al-Burhan Group building and supplying 99 houses free of charge to those in the area most in-need of shelter. These 99 houses are to each be named with one of Allah's names.

In addition to the Asmaa Allah Al-Husna Charity Project in Kut, the region will also benefit from the additions made to the Dar Al-Baraim Orphanage. Following a visit to the orphanage by the Managing Director of Al-Burhan Group, the needs of the orphans were pinpointed and analysed. This resulted in ABG funding the supply of a brand new kitchen facility, a gorgeous garden, and a vastly improved bathroom area. The biggest improvement, however, is the supply of internet to the orphanage, allowing the children to learn from and communicate with the outside world like never before. Dar Al-Baraim Orphanage thanked ABG for the happiness and comfort they have spread.

Further aid to Iraqi families displaced across the nation came during the holy period of Ramadan. Al-Burhan Group, aware that numerous Mosul-based families were forced to flee to Najaf during the fasting period, provided free Iftar meals to over 300 families. ABG Management said 'While we always look to provide long-term aid to the poor, we also maintain a commitment towards responding to the emerging, short-term needs of those displaced around Iraq's provinces.'

Such large, wide-scale endeavours serve as further indication of Al-Burhan Group's dedication, not only to bringing the best to Iraq in terms of commerce, business and economy, but also its dedication to bringing the best to Iraq in terms of consideration, generosity and care for fellow countrymen and human beings.
