Feed the poor – No one should go hungry
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “He is not a believer who fills his stomach while his neighbour goes hungry.” (Bukhari) When we are hungry, we have the luxury of opening the fridge, rummaging through a cabinet or even ordering a take away. Millions of our brothers and sisters are not so fortunate. Imagine waking up every morning worried where the next meal is going to come from for you and your family? Imagine going to bed hungry every single night having barely eaten that day? Imagine watching your child cry out from hunger?
This is sadly the reality for the 821 million people who go hungry each and every day in some of the world’s poorest communities. Food is a basic necessity for survival and also the key to a healthy life. Without regular healthy meals children struggle to go to school, careers struggle to work and communities are left battling to survive.
We feed the poor and the needy during the whole month of Ramadhan to support those who have little means of supporting their families. With your support, we intend to provide sustainable long-term food solutions for communities in need, as well as offering short-term lifesaving interventions in response to emergencies.
We would like to introduce small-scale self-sufficient programs to enable families to improve their diet and increase their income and we establish community-run food banks to help as many people as possible.
By supporting our Feed the Poor Project, you’ll be helping to feed families and to fight food poverty, to ensure hunger no more for communities over the long-term. By providing food support, you’ll be crucially saving lives.
Wells Projects
Acces to clean water is a life changing gift.
Water is a blessing from Allah (swt). While fasting in Ramadhan we begin to realise the difficulties that others may face in less fortunate countries without any access to clean water. Giving charity is one of the pillars of Islam and giving during the month of Ramadhan our rewards are multiplied further.
Allah says in the Qur’an,
‘ And whoever saves one [a life] – it is as if he had saved all of mankind’ (Qur’an, 5:32).
The gift of water saves lives and donating to clean water to save lives is as if you saved all of mankind.
The Messenger of Allah (saw) was asked, “ Which charity is best?” He replied, “[Providing] water” [Abu Dawud].
Having access to clean water is a human right, and if we fulfill this right unto everyone we can it is the best kind of sadaqah we can give.
Children at Alnoor Madrasah in Barking are raising money to build a Well in a less fortunate country. For the last 2 years we built two Wells in Pemba, Tanzania, as you can see pictured above. This gave access to clean water for the community. As a madrasah, we want to raise more money to build wells in more less fortunates communities.
We appreciate any help and donations we will receive. May Allah accept our fasts and our sadaqah. Ameen
