The Uyghurs, a Muslim minority living in China, are being targeted in what has been referred to by human rights activists as a cultural genocide.

The recent Chinese Human Rights Defenders Reports estimates that there are now over 2 million Uyghur Muslims locked away in re-education programmes, out of which there have been shocking first-hand accounts of people shackled day and night, women raped, organs harvested, families separated and Muslims forced to consume pork and alcohol.

Alhamdulillah, some of the persecuted Uyghur people have managed to flee from these horrors, with the majority residing in Turkey. But Turkey hosts the most refugees in the world, and therefore cannot provide adequate support for the displaced Uyghurs.

Penny Appeal are working with our local partners to provide refugees with monthly food packs, medical care, psychosocial support and legal aid.

This will make a real difference to struggling refugee families, providing them with the support they need to begin healing and rebuilding a better life in safety.

A simple donation of just £35 could provide a Uyghur refugee with expert legal assistance and advice. £50 could provide a whole family with enough food for a month.

Your donations could make a real difference to refugees in Turkey. Stand with the Uyghur people by donating to Penny Appeals Uyghur Relief appeal today!
