Why Support Poor Muslim Communities during Ramadan?
Muslims are among the poorest of the poor in the world. Around 40% of the Muslim population languishes in abject poverty, with nearly 760 million living under £1.05 a day.
Despite the well-known generosity of Muslims, many still face the challenge of food poverty. You can make a difference by supporting our Ramadan Food Appeal and helping us provide a Ramadan Food Pack for at least one needy family. Together, we can work towards making a positive change ‘one family at a time’.
