When 9-month-old Hanah contracted life threatening meningitis it left her with irreversible hearing loss. Hope was close by when her parents learned that the cutting edge cochlear implant would restore her hearing. However at a large cost the transforming solution was out of their reach. Al Jalila Foundation stepped in to fund the procedure and young Hanah, now 6-years-old, is a confident, adventurous, bright young child who excels at school and loves music. The overjoyed parents expressed “Thank you for changing our child’s life forever. We are eternally grateful to Al Jalila Foundation.

Ramadan is a time of reflection, spending time with family and most importantly, giving to those who are in need. We consider it a privilege to be in a position where we can make a difference in people’s lives.
