Latino Muslim Project
BDesh Foundation has embarked on a significant journey through its sponsored project, demonstrating a commitment to support and uplift the new Muslim community. We can give new hope to many deserving patients by working together to raise funds to make a difference.
Supporting New Muslims
At the heart of what we do, and one of the main reasons for our existence is to offer support to the new Muslim community.One of the many things that we do is hold yearly Eid celebrations for the entire family to enjoy. Holidays can be lonely for many Muslims who may not have families to celebrate with, this allows us to have a place to enjoy the day of Eid. Breaking bread with each other during the fasting month allows us to feel a greater connection with the community during these blessed days.
Convert support, classes and lectures ( at Adams Sterling) are also part of what we do, bringing topics relevant to the convert community. Our events are open to everyone and we encourage new Muslims to bring their families and friends. Many times close relatives of new Muslims are challenged with understanding why someone has accepted a faith that may seem foreign. These events provide a space to ask questions and meet other Muslims that have experienced a similar journey. Our hope is that others can learn about our faith and hold open conversations where they can have their questions answered. All of this and more is offered to provide support and a resource for our community.
Iftar Gatherings
Throughout Northern Virginia, Iftar gatherings are held, primarily at Bdesh’s SAM kitchen during the month of Ramadan. Breaking bread during the fasting month fosters a greater connection with the community in these blessed days.

Yearly Eid Celebrations
The Rohingya people are one of the world’s most persecuted minorities. Thousands of Rohingya refugees fled Myanmar during previous waves of violence and persecution. Most are housed in precarious shelters in overcrowded settlements, making them vulnerable to transmission of disease.
The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority who have been living in Myanmar for hundreds of years. They are stateless and face particular difficulties obtaining access to health care and other basic rights because Myanmar’s government has denied them citizenship.
