Feed the hungry and poor

Imagine waking up every morning and not knowing where the next meal is going to come from for you and your loved ones. Imagine what will be your state of mind if your children are going to bed every single night having barely eaten all day. Imagine millions of fathers and mothers around the world staying hungry just to make sure their children have had enough food to survive that day.

Unfortunately, this is a sad reality for over 1 billion people in the world. Whether it is communities like Rohingyas, Refugees from Yemen and Syria or poor Pakistan, Azad Kashmir and Africa, millions of families are struggling for food.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Food is not a luxury, it is a necessity for survival

For us, living in developed countries, it is tough to understand how such a large proportion of the world’s population goes hungry every day. But the struggle for food is real if you are poor, disabled or a widow who hasn’t got anyone in the house to feed her children. Food is a necessity for survival and to live a healthy life.

Millions of diseases and illnesses are directly linked to a poor diet or malnutrition. Regular healthy meals are key to children’s growth.

We are Working to Eradicate Food Poverty

Here at Dabbagh Welfare Trust, we’ve been working with communities across the globe for over 10 years. We know just how important a nutritious diet is. That’s why we’re striving to ensure that no child or adult goes hungry.

We work with local communities to provide monthly food parcels for the poor and needy; especially widows, orphans and elderly without support.

As well as providing monthly parcels for the poor, we also set up and support emergency feeding centres to feed the poor, day labourers and street children. Allah forbid, if any part of the world is hit with a natural disaster or affected by war, we also provide emergency food packs for the people affected by the crisis. Ramadan and Qurbani are the special two holy occasions, during which we distribute food packs, zakat and sadaqah among the poor and needy, so they can have a comfortable Ramadan and Qurbani.

By supporting the Dabbagh Welfare Trust, you’ll be helping to feed families in times of emergency and to fight food poverty, ensuring no one goes hungry because they cannot afford food.

Help us provide food support for millions of people around the globe.
