“Or feeding, on a day of severe hunger...Those are the companions of the right (companions of good fortune). [Quran, 90:14-18].

After a year dominated by COVID, Ramadan 2021 was a time for humble reflection and expressions of gratitude for many of us. Whilst the devastation for some may have been temporary, for millions around the world, it’s a continuous struggle to survive.

This Ramadan, your generous donations have provided long-term relief for vulnerable communities in Sudan, Bangladesh, Yemen, Pakistan, Turkey and Ethiopia. Our nutritious meals and food parcels have been a lifeline for those suffering due to ongoing wars, natural disasters or stuck in cycles of poverty. 

Alhamdulilah, your support played a large role in alleviating their pain. Collectively, we provided over ONE MILLION meals to those in need this Ramadan. 

Here’s a quick breakdown of what we achieved together:

 

Sudan:

408,767 meals.

  • 5kg of boxed dates were added to our food packs and distributed to 508 families.

 

Pakistan, Thar:

16,507 meals.

  • Many schools were closed due to COVID but we managed to support those that were open!
  •  

Bangladesh:

531,252  meals.

  • With your support we were able to feed our Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazaar, provide hot meals to our school children in Dhaka and send emergency aid to our beneficiaries affected by the Bangladesh fire in March. 
  • 3,000 iftar meals were delivered and 5kg of boxed dates were added to our family food packs.
  • From your Fitrana donations, 1,000 food packs were delivered to those who lost their homes in the fire.

 

Ethiopia:  

387,550 meals.

  • From your Fitrana donations, 250 food packs were provided to Ethiopian families. 
  • 1,246 Ramadan food packs were distributed to 5 schools.

 

Turkey: 

136,800 meals.

  • 5kg of boxed dates added to the food packs supporting our 400 Uyghur beneficiaries. 

 

Yemen: 

135,000 meals.

  • 2kg of boxed dates added to our Ramadan food packs.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (swt) saying, “O people, exchange greetings of peace (Assalamu Alaikum to one another), feed people, strengthen the ties of kinship, and be in prayer when others are asleep, you will enter Jannah in peace.” (Tirmidhi).

Thank you for helping us make a difference this Ramadan. With the power of a meal, we’ve transformed thousands of lives. May Allah accept your efforts and allow us to continue our journey together in our fight against hunger.
