IMI Michigan Fundraiser for Earthquake Relief

"It gives me the confidence to see the youth here is so dedicated to the great cause of serving Humanity, especially for the victims of the enormous devastation we have seen in Turkiye & Syria. The most significant aspect that caught my eye is the slogan on the IMI banner, "People have lost everything, don't let them lose hope." In my 21 years of experience serving in the military, I have done humanitarian mission work overseas, and I have witnessed that there is nothing worse for people than losing hope. The world needs organizations like IMI to reach out and spread hope."
Mayor of Dearborn Heights - Bill Bazi

The motivated community of Michigan residents got together on March 12, 2023, at Bellagio Banquet & Conference Center to raise funds for those affected by the earthquake in Turkiye & Syria. The IMI Michigan Chapter Team, led by Dr. Qambar Ali Jafri, IMI US Board of Director, and Dr. Saba Azhar, IMI Michigan Chapter Coordinator, successfully collected well-known personalities, professional specialists of varying ages, and their families to provide an informative and cohesive program.

The IMI Youth Wing of Michigan's community was actively involved in planning the event's organization and fundraising efforts. Ms. Aleena Bukhari, a member of the IMI Youth Wing, also gave a presentation on the Importance of Charity Work for the betterment of humanity.

IMI way forward for earthquake relief efforts

During the Fundraiser, Dr. Wajih Rizvi, Dr. Qambar Jafri, and Dr. Saba Azhar thoroughly presented the many advocacy, educational, and humanitarian projects IMI has been involved in worldwide. It is no exaggeration to say that IMI's pre-earthquake presence in Turkey and Syria had a significant role in the organization's ability to play such a central role in the earthquake relief efforts. The National Health Ministry of Turkey and the Medizeyn & Zehra Anna Society have been invaluable partners for IMI Turkey in distributing shelter, food, medicine, and heating equipment. On the other hand, IMI Zaynab has been working closely with the Syrian charity Al-Ighathe Organization (The Poor Patients Relief Society) to distribute essentials and medical supplies like insulin & glucometers to those in need. Moreover, to meet both the short-term and long-term requirements of those affected by the earthquakes in both nations, IMI is curren tly launching several new initiatives with far-reaching effects.

Shelter Homes Container Project For Turkiye

IMI is working with the Turkish American Steering Committee (TASC), courtesy of its South Jersey Chapter Representative, Dr. Vedat Obuz, to develop a container town that would provide all the necessary commodities for individuals who have been displaced because of the earthquake.

Mobile Healthcare UNITS For Syria

IMI Global is collaborating with IMI Zaynab to provide Mobile Health Units in Syria for ongoing medical needs and future medical emergencies. A number of people will have access to timely medical care thanks to the installation of the mobile units in areas hit hard by the earthquake.

In addition to serving earthquake victims in all parts of Syria, this mobile clinic model will be used in the Haram of Shehzaadi Zaynab (sa) & Shehzaadi Sakina (sa) during Muharram & Arbaeen processions.

The authorisation and registration work for both initiative are in progress but they need your help to be up and running as soon as possible. Please come forward to support these projects. Donations from generous people like you will allow IMI to provide earthquake victims with a relatively comfortable Mahe Ramzan this year.

Price of the mobile health Care unit is from 600k to 900k USD.
