Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Prophet Muhammad said:
“He is not a believer who eats his full and leaves his neighbour hungry.”
(Hadith)
* Did you know right now
more than 800 million people around the world are hungry?
* Did you know a child dies every
five seconds from hunger-related causes?
* 10 million children under the
age of five die every year, mostly from preventable illnesses
As simple as it sounds, food distribution to impoverished communities both
during times of crisis such as war or famine and at other times saves lives and
is an important part of our work.
During the most important month in the Islamic calendar; the period known as
Ramadan when fasting is obligatory during the entire month; SMT has been working
on behalf of the British Muslim community to bring happiness and joy to poor
and needy people across the world.
Imagine spending the whole day fasting and then finding no food in your kitchen
to open your fast with? Imagine having to tell your children that they must go
without a full meal?
This is the situation thousands face around the world every day.
All year around and especially in the Month of Ramadan each year SMT’s Food Aid
Programme provides food packages for the poor and needy in Pakistan, Kashmir,
Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Tanzania and Syria. Each pack
consists of sugar, rice, oil, flour, Lentils and dates. As well of these
individual packs, save the mothers Trust will also be providing daily cooked
Iftari meals in the local mosques which will be open for the community.
SMT not only provides food and support through various types of donations but
it also conducted a community capacity building programme tackling health,
education, environment, nutrition and social issues which affect the local
population.
Over the past years Save the Mothers Trust has carried out a food aid programme
for the poor throughout the year and especially during the month of Ramadan.
In the last year alone through the generous support of the public SMT was able
to provide food packages to more than 20,000 families in Pakistan, Kashmir
& Africa.
Please donate generously and ensure these poor families are able to spend the
whole of Ramadan in ease.
£30 provides a monthly provision for one family.
