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 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, with the majority (67,000 people) 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 hard-working local partners to provide monthly food packages to 500 Uyghur refugee families, as well as warm winter clothes for their children.

This will make a real difference to struggling refugee families, so that they can begin to heal and rebuild a better life in safety.

Just £50 could provide a Uyghur refugee family with enough food for an entire month.
