Chairman’s messageDear Investor

Since the birth of IDO, our passion to make a difference has never been stronger. As a not-for-profit International Humanitarian Aid and Development Organisation we have built our reputation on trust and being able to deliver what we set out to achieve. In other words, we do (by the Will of Allah SAW) what we say we’re going to do!

The concept of IDO was conceived in the last 10 days of Ramadan 2011, when 2 groups of brothers from Sydney, independently yet simultaneously made an intention to go and do something to help the people dying in Somalia with their own hands and money. This intention caused a chain reaction culmination in the groups joining together for Allah’s pleasure and within 3 weeks, we were on a plane to Somalia working closely with Islamic Relief.

Since then, IDO has established a track record for implementing innovative long-term projects that are hands-on and focused towards providing development within devastated and deprived communities. We have done so through education, Leadership programs, medical centres, counselling and livelihood programs that will enable these communities to become self-sufficient and allow them to contribute once more to human society.

Thus through the work of IDO, there is a unique opportunity to contribute to the eradication of deprivation and oppression throughout the world, whilst empowering our Ummah through the Orphans, and hence, to venerate our beloved Prophet Muhammed SAW, as he too was an Orphan.

In the time that I’ve been blessed to be part of this noble cause, I’ve seen the organisation grow from a few brothers taking that inaugural trip to Somalia to becoming a professional, fully systemised and driven entity where anyone can come and contribute their skills, time and expertise to benefit their Ummah!

We are now currently developing a dedicated team of experienced professionals to manage the daily operations, in order to allow our Founding team to fully concentrate on our core project and to realise our long-term vision.

Along with our dedication is the generous support of the community who believe and share in our cause for the ultimate reward with Allah SAW.

IDO has achieved amazing things in such a short time Alhamdulillah. However, I’m aware of the massive task ahead of us in fulfilling the rights of this cause and we look forward with excitement and fervour to achieving our ultimate vision.

It gives me great pleasure to apprise you on this brief about IDO and invite you, alongside your Brothers and Sisters and the businesses and organisations that support IDO in what we believe is a unique opportunity to make a difference to the future of humanity as a whole.

We do not take for granted the trust that Australians and the world have in us.

VISION“We  no  longer  wonder  what  we  can  do  to  assist,  instead  we  focus  on  what  we  are  doing”  

About IDOOur Core program is the Orphan Leadership Program, which focuses on mentoring and developing orphans by providing them with a long-term sustainable pathway from when they begin school right through to post tertiary education. The program helps children; families and communities break the cycle of poverty while providing life necessities to young orphans.

We are unique in the locations we work, with our Medical Centre and Orphan Leadership Program in Aleppo and our Safe Village in Dhobley Somalia.

We do the work ourselves- not through third parties, with our Founders working all the way through the entire project.

Our vision is a community with little impact of devastation, free from deprivation or oppression; a society with its basic needs met, where Orphans are empowered through education, full of opportunities to grow.

We don’t just react to the crisis of the moment, but we research, plan and implement long-term development projects that are inherently sustainable, and will enable devastated communities to get back on their feet.

We follow 3 main steps when deciding to act:

1) We research and analyse the crisis to understand the root cause and to realise a sustainable solution2) We find out who is doing what and where3) We analyse the gaps, and then see where and how we can helpThis can be clearly seen in the way IDO has implemented its’ Pilot Project in Somalia, through consultation with Islamic Relief and other NGO’s at these phases of the project.

WHILST RELEIF AID IS NECESSARY INITALLY, IT IS NOT A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR THE HUNDREDS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AND ESPECIALLY ORPHANS IN NEED OF OUR REAL SUPPORT NOW AND THROUGHOUT THE FUTURE.

By supporting IDO, you are helping to achieve our great vision.

We have seen that it can only be through long-term provision of infrastructure that those devastated, deprived and oppressed communities can once again thrive and thus contribute to the prosperity of humanity as a whole. These provisions include:

• Orphan Leadership Program• Medical • Sustainability Projects• Community and Welfare Projects

As we now look back on all the achievements, and analyse the lessons learned, we realise that in order to successfully navigate through to the next stage of our objectives and to fulfil our vision, we will need sustained support from our Brothers and Sisters in the community.

We invite you to sponsor our organisation as a whole to raise $400,000 over the next 12 months. This will allow us to implement the next stages of our operations while being able to efficiently run and provide for our existing activities.
