📦 Ramadan Food Packs & Zakat al-Fitr

Together with your support and the support of our global Islamic Relief family, we distributed an estimated 300,992 food packs in impoverished communities, reaching nearly 1.65 million people in need, to make it a Ramadan without hunger.

Food packs were distributed in over 30 countries, including:

📍Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Lebanon, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen

Through this effort, we also distributed your Zakat al-Fitr, Fidya, and Kaffara payments in the form of food supplies to the poorest of the poor, in over 12 countries.

Depending on each region, each food pack holds around 57 kgs or 125 pounds of food on average and is designed to provide the essentials to a family of 5-7 people.

 

🎁 Eid Gifts for Vulnerable Children 

Your kindness gifted smiles to orphans and vulnerable children on Eid day through new clothes, toys, school supplies and shoes. These gifts full of joy were distributed with the support of our global Islamic Relief family across 18 countries, including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Turkey & Yemen!

Thank you for helping us spread the joy of Eid to over 17,558 orphans and children, letting them know that someone is thinking about them.

At Islamic Relief, we believe in transparency. We maintain one of the lowest admin costs whilst adhering to the highest standards when implementing our work.

For every $1 you donate, about 15 cents is incurred as overhead, split into a 4 cents administrative operating cost and 11 cents fundraising costs. That means 85 cents of every dollar is invested in programs delivering relief and development! Alhamdulillah, this is well above the standard recommended!

Did you know? For every 1 cent we spend on fundraising, we raise an additional 10 cents. That’s an extra 90 cents on top of your $1. Your donation is almost DOUBLED.
