The Year Of Giving · 5 March 2020
Sajid Rashid BEM in association with Charity Right to raise funds for emergency food packs in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
We are requesting your help to support!
Although the people we regularly support are fearful of the coronavirus, the biggest threat to their lives right now is starvation.
Because of government closures, we can no longer provide nutritious meals to children in most of the schools we normally work in. And due to national lockdowns, parents and their children have no opportunities to work or even beg for money that will help to feed them.
This is why your help is urgently needed this Ramadan/Eid
About Sajid Rashid:
Sajid Rashid BEM is a multi-award winning philanthropist, One of the 'Youngest' ever to receive a British Empire Medal (BEM) from Her Majesty The Queen on the New Year’s Honours List for services to the community as well as charitable fundraising.
Sajid also known as 'Saj', is regarded as one of Britain's most inspirational; scooping the accolade of "Positive Role Model Award for Age” at The National Diversity Awards (The UK's Largest Diversity Awards) as well as “JCI UK’s Ten Outstanding Young Persons (TOYP)” to name a few, with many more national accolades under his belt.
Within the last few years Sajid has supported numerous different charities, communities and causes. This has been achieved through voluntary work and fundraising to strengthen humanity's fight against poverty, social injustice and natural disaster.
He is now working in association with Charity Right who are an international food programme that provide regular life changing meals to the most vulnerable children in the world. They have dedicated teams on the ground who understand how the Coronavirus is impacting on the people they regularly help and the support they need right now.
What's Happening In Pakistan?
Since a national lockdown began in late March incomes have been tied down for many Pakistanis who rely on low-paid work to survive.
Although the number of coronaviruses cases moved past 5,300 in mid-April, the most immediate concern for people is not COVID-19 but a fear of going hungry.
As a result, Charity Right have already distributed emergency food packs to over 1000 families who live in the Tharparkar Desert and currently we are identifying the most vulnerable families who live in cities and doing all we can to provide them with potentially life-saving food packs.
What's Happening in Bangladesh?
The Bangladeshi government has imposed a complete lockdown to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. But the move is bringing hardship to tens of thousands of people, including many daily wage workers who live in the slums of Dhaka and Rohingya people living in refugee camps in the city of Cox's Bazar.
We are taking action in the following ways;
Dhaka Slums
Our teams are distributing food to families with young children and families who send their children to a Charity Right school. This means we are continuing to support children who have received our free meals in schools over the past 6 years.
Cox's Bazar
Our teams are continuing to source food locally so they can provide meals to the Rohingya children in nine schools located in the refugee camps. As normal, we're also providing our food packs to Rohingya families who have no means of sourcing their next meal.
What Our Family Food Packs Typically Contain?
Our food packs are designed to provide a family of four with all the essentials they need to feed themselves.
- Flour (20kg)
- Lentils (5kg)
- Rice (3kg)
- Sugar (2kg)
- Cooking Oil/Ghee (2.5kg)
- Gram Flour (1kg)
- Salt (1kg)
For just £20.00 will feed a family of four for a month.
WE ARE HERE TO MAKE A CHANGE!

There is no better reason to do this than for charity, living in the UK we are fortunate enough to have a roof over our heads and food on the table, however the crisis in Pakistan/Bangladesh and other parts of the world suffer from necessities that we take for granted.
