Ummah Foundation in partnership with Global Humanitarian Relief Foundation (GHRF) of the UK, have made it their core business to maintain the positive impact of our yearly Ramadhan food distribution Program. Courtesy of the generous support of our donors and well-wishers, each year we are privileged to provide food parcels to over 2,500 families during the holy month of Ramadhan. This is in solidarity with the spirit of Ramadhan where we are called upon to mind about the welfare of others and strive by all means in doing good deeds. The best deed one can do during these holy days and nights is to care for the poor. We majorly target those who reside in informal settlements across the Country.
One of the greatest objectives of the month of Ramadan is to understand what others are going through, especially those who are less fortunate. In keeping with the season’s theme of sacrifice and remembering the poor, both Ummah Foundation and GHRF have created awareness that Ramadhan allows you to give back and appreciate your blessings. The prophet s.a.w in his hadith said; “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward.” (Tirmidhi)
Every fasting season, Ummah Foundation and GHRF jointly provide food parcels containing essential items such as cooking oil, wheat flour, maize flour, rice, green grams, beans, sugar, tea leaves and salt to families in ominous need. Many of the people we reach out to have been affected by inflation that has befallen them due to a prolonged drought spell and the skyrocketing high cost of life. This food relief goes up to many villages in the country that are severely affected by drought and food scarcity.
