Help Combat Hunger This Ramadan
Combat hunger this Ramadan by supporting the Islamic Welfare Trust’s annual Ramadan Food Appeal. Our mission is to provide essential food parcels containing items such as oil, flour, and dates to families in need all over the world.
Many of our beneficiaries have been affected by disasters and rely on our humanitarian emergency programs. The food parcels not only provide them with the sustenance they need to complete their fasts but also ease their worries about accessing food during this blessed month.
With your donation to our Ramadan Food Appeal, you can share the blessings of Ramadan and help us combat hunger around the globe. Last year, we were able to provide food to more than 50,000 people in 8 Muslim communities, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Join us in fulfilling the Islamic duty of feeding the poor and helping those in need. Your contribution will make a significant impact on someone’s life and earn you the reward of Allah. Donate today to our Ramadan Food Appeal and help us combat hunger this Ramadan.

The Story of a Disabled Father
Shafiq is a hardworking man from a remote part of Pakistan, who was employed on the CPEC project. While working on the project, a part of a crane fell on his foot, causing a severe injury. Despite the wound not healing, he continued working to support his family, but unfortunately, it got so bad that doctors had to amputate his foot. This event changed his life forever, and he was left disabled for the rest of his life.
Shafiq has experienced a lot of hardship in his life. A few years ago, he lost two of his children because he couldn’t afford their medical treatment. Now, he is living hand to mouth with his wife, daughter, and son to feed. Their struggles are intensified by the fact that they are living in a rented house, and sometimes they can’t even afford the rent or utility bills.
When the Islamic Welfare Trust heard about Shafiq’s situation, they stepped in to help. The organization provided him with Zakat and food aid, which has been a tremendous help to him and his family. Islamic Welfare Trust will continue supporting his family for the next 12 months.
Shafiq’s story is not an isolated case. Islamic Welfare Trust works with thousands of families like Shafiq’s who are struggling to make ends meet. The organization relies on the generosity of donors to help people like Shafiq and his family.
By donating your sadaqah and zakat to the Islamic Welfare Trust, you can help protect lives, bring children out of poverty, and support families like Shafiq’s. This Ramadan, consider donating to the Ramadan Food Appeal to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can make a positive impact on the world.

Virtues of Feeding the Fasting
“Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person will have the same reward as the one [who fasted] without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person,”
(Tirmidhi)
Disaster can Strike Anywhere, Anytime
Unfortunately, recent human history has emphatically confirmed this reality. Since the turn of the century, we have seen disaster after disaster unfold, some natural but predominantly manmade. As a Muslim Humanitarian Charity, it’s crucial for us to have emergency funds readily available to respond swiftly to these disasters.
Whether it’s the Gaza Emergency Appeal, Yemen Emergency Appeal, Syrian Refugee Crisis Appeal, Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, Afghanistan Emergency Appeal, Pakistan Floods Appeal, Rohingya Refugee Crisis Appeal, or Africa Drought Appeal, our ability to continue helping those affected by these conflicts, wars, and crises relies on your ongoing support. We urge you to donate your Sadaqah and Zakat to these appeals, aiding in the protection of lives throughout the year and in times of crisis.
However, if you are looking to build a Masjid as Sadaqah Jariyah for your loved ones, or if you wish to build a water pump, donate a food pack, sponsor a sewing machine, sponsor an orphan, sponsor a hafiz, or need to give Kaffarah for Breaking an Oath, consider our appeals. Donate to the Ramadan Food Appeal, the Ramadan Zakat Appeal, or simply donate your Zakat to assist the poor and needy around the world. Insha’Allah, donate with confidence for the sake of Allah.
