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.
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:
- Provided food to more than 5 million people;
- Served more than 50 countries spanning five continents, including two dozen African nations, as well as Greece, Yemen, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Colombia, Brazil, and many others.
- Aided our closest neighbors in the United States with deliveries of food packages, hot meals, and fresh produce to tens of thousands of families.
- We strive to ease hunger wherever it exists, whether in our own backyard or on the other side of the globe. But we can only help our most vulnerable friends with your support!
