Every Ramadan, Islamic Relief provides food parcels containing essential items such as oil, flour and dates to families in need across the world.

Many of the people we reach have been affected by disasters and are supported by Islamic Relief’s humanitarian emergency programmes. The food parcels allow them to be better prepared for the month of Ramadan, easing their worries about how to access food with which to start and end their fast.

Our annual Ramadan campaign enables people to share the blessings of the holy month with families across the globe. The donations we received last year alone allowed us provide food to more than 900,000 people in 33 countries during Ramadan.

“Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person will have the same reward as the one [who fasted] without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person,” (Hadith, Tirmidhi).
