Giving during Ramadan
Ramadan is a time for fasting and charitable giving, offering spiritual rewards for those who help the hungry. Embrace Relief works globally to provide food aid, aiming to expand its impact in 2025 through donor support.
The useful part before the long read.
Zakat is a pillar of Islamic belief, with donations during Ramadan providing greater spiritual rewards.
An estimated 700 million people worldwide did not have enough food in 2024.
Embrace Relief has provided food to over 5 million people across 50 countries since 2013.
A $35 donation can provide a family of five with enough food for a full week.
The Spirit of Giving in Ramadan
Ramadan is about more than fasting from sunrise to sunset for a full month. It’s also a very important time for Muslims around the world to give to charity and help their fellow man.
Zakat, the act of charitable giving, is one of the pillars of Islamic belief. Each donation of one’s surplus food or money represents a purification of the soul. During this holy month, each gift to those in need provides an even greater spiritual reward, while also providing a Ramadan blessing to someone less fortunate.
Global Hunger and Embrace Relief’s Mission
Donating food is a particularly great way to help out during the holiday. The daylong fast that Muslims undertake throughout Ramadan is just a small reminder of the suffering that hundreds of millions of people live with during the other 11 months of the year.
Despite the progress we’ve made over the past several decades, there are still many people going to bed hungry every night all around the world. An estimated 700 million people on Earth – that’s one out of every 12 people – did not have enough food to eat during 2024.
Embrace Relief has made it a core part of its mission to directly provide food to people in numerous countries where it is very badly needed, especially during Ramadan. Since 2013, we have:
