2020

Baking for Yemen: A Summer of Sweet Support

In 2020, Z² Tuition embarked on its philanthropic journey with a heartfelt initiative - a bake sale organised by three friends, driven by a shared commitment to giving back. Over the summer, we offered an array of freshly baked desserts, including: brownie trays, cakes, cheesecakes, chocolate-covered strawberries, cupcakes, and sprinkle cakes. However, this effort was about more than just indulging in delightful treats; it was an opportunity to raise awareness and support for the Yemen Humanitarian Crisis. Each order was accompanied by an informative fact sheet, highlighting key statistics, curated reading lists, and practical ways to contribute to the cause.

Thanks to the overwhelming orders from our community, we raised an impressive £2,000, which was donated via GoFundMe to support Ummah Welfare Trust's relief efforts. Through this initiative, we not only made a meaningful contribution to those affected by the crisis in Yemen but also forged lasting connections within our community, further strengthening our relationships throughout the process.

From Our Shelves to Oxfam: Books for a Brighter Future

In 2021, Z² Tuition initiated a two-month book donation campaign, inviting our clients and community members to contribute new or gently used children's books. Thanks to the remarkable generosity of our supporters, we successfully collected and donated 200 books to Oxfam in Maidenhead. The collection featured a diverse range of titles, including: fiction, non-fiction, and textbooks, all dedicated to promoting education and literacy.

Oxfam leverages these donations to fund its crucial mission of combating poverty on a global scale. The proceeds from selling donated books in their charity shops are directed towards a wide array of global initiatives, such as: education programs, access to clean water, and efforts to fight hunger. This experience deepened our understanding of the transformative role that education and literacy play in fostering long-term, sustainable change in the global fight against poverty.

2022

Educational Aid: Supporting Schools in Turkey & Syria

In 2022, Z² Tuition broadened its efforts by partnering with Ummah Welfare Trust to deliver essential educational resources to students in Turkey and Syria. Many children in these regions faced immense difficulties in obtaining basic school supplies due to ongoing humanitarian crises. Through a dedicated fundraising campaign, we aimed to provide these students with the tools necessary to continue their education.

Through the generosity of our clients and supporters, we successfully raised £600 in just three weeks, enabling us to supply 110 fully-equipped stationery packs. Each pack contained: a backpack, colouring pencils, erasers, pencils, pens, rulers, and sharpeners. These vital resources were distributed to students, empowering them to pursue their educational goals despite challenging circumstances. This initiative underscored the pivotal role of education as a beacon of hope and progress, even in the face of adversity.

2023

Community Aid: Distributing Food Parcels for the Homeless

In 2023, Z² Tuition turned its focus to addressing the growing issue of homelessness within our community. With an estimated 1,130 individuals sleeping rough in Slough, we felt compelled to take action. Partnering with Slough Outreach and the In the Bag Appeal, and guided by Shin Dhother, founder of Slough Outreach and a passionate advocate for the homeless, we volunteered for two weeks, assembling and distributing 250 food parcels and hot meals to those in need at local community shelters.

The food parcels were made possible through generous donations and with 10% of the proceeds from every tuition lesson taught during the campaign. Each parcel contained: biscuits, carton drinks, chocolate, crisps, hot chocolate sachets, porridge, fresh fruit, and hot meals, providing both nourishment and comfort. During this initiative, we engaged in face-to-face conversations with those experiencing homelessness, gaining a deeper understanding of their struggles. This effort highlighted the importance of community support and collective action in addressing this pressing issue.

2024

At Z² Tuition, we believe in not only providing educational support but also empowering communities around the world through meaningful initiatives. In 2024, we hosted a community raffle, with all proceeds dedicated to a variety of charitable causes, shared on our Instagram story. The winning project was the construction of a tube well in Pakistan, a vital resource for providing clean and accessible water to a local community, through our chosen charity, Muslim Hands.

Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet millions around the world still struggle to obtain it. Every day, women and girls around the world spend a collective 200 million hours collecting water. Your donations are tackling this staggering inequality. We are thrilled to announce that the funds raised from our raffle were donated to the construction of a tube well in Pakistan, bringing clean and safe water to an area that desperately needed it. This well will serve as a lifeline, reducing water-borne illnesses and giving the community the opportunity to thrive.

Our raffle winner, Ambreen Khan, won a special Z² Tuition gift hamper as a token of our appreciation for her support. Her contribution, along with everyone who participated, made a tangible difference in the lives of many.
