Today there is peace. But the hardships remain.

Afghanistan has suffered over four decades of war. During the 1980s, over 1.5 million Muslims lost their lives in the Soviet invasion. In the decade after, thousands more perished in the brutal civil strife. And in the last twenty years, a further one million were killed in the War on Terror.

A cynical freezing of the country’s financial assets in 2021 has left much of the population penniless and hungry. Over one million children are thought to be facing starvation.

‘Surely, from amongst the deed that make Jannah incumbent

(upon the believer) is the feeding of a hungry Muslim.’ [Hakim]

Ummah Welfare Trust has launched an emergency appeal to help displaced and refugee Afghans survive the crippling poverty. The charity is working in all 34 provinces of the country, delivering your aid to those who need it most.

The world is watching as innocent children die. We mustn’t do the same.

Donate or fundraise for this appeal and help Afghanistan’s Muslims live

honourably on their feet once more.

‘The example of the Believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion for one another is like one body; if one limb complains then the whole body responds to it in restlessness and fever.’ [Sahih Muslim]

The balance of wealth and justice remains absent in the world today. For at least three quarters of the world’s population, poverty is a fact of life. Hunger, sickness, homelessness and more cast a heavy shadow over their lives as they struggle to survive with little or no support.

Ummah Welfare Trust formed as an NGO in 2001 with the goal of challenging this state of affairs. Inspired by the Islamic teachings of empathy and selflessness, the charity would strive to support and uplift the impoverished through the beautiful act of charity.
