We have used your Sadaqat al-Fitr to give Eid gifts to 1,000 orphans and cash assistance to our Rohingyan sisters in Bangladesh as an expression of compassion, solidarity, and shared joy during this auspicious occasion. By giving gifts to the poor, we not only bring happiness and comfort to their lives but also reinforce the bonds of community and kindness that are central to the teachings of Islam. It’s a way to ensure that everyone can partake in the festivities and experience the joy of Eid, regardless of their circumstances.

The living conditions in war torn Gaza is exacerbated by the aftermath of conflicts and blockade. Access to basic necessities such as clean water, electricity, and healthcare remain a huge concern. As-Salaam Foundation is still operating on the ground and distributing essentials. We are operational both in the North and South and have already sent out two deployments to pass aid through the Rafah border.

The Rohingya refugee camp Cox’s Bazaar, Bangladesh is the largest and most well-known of these camps is Kutupalong-Balukhali, where a significant number of Rohingya refugees have sought shelter since fleeing violence in Myanmar. As-Salaam provided 90 direct families (450 individuals) strategically comprising vulnerable individuals, orphans, and widows with not just essential food items, warm blankets, and safety kits.

The devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake killed over 3,000 people and left thousands. Families were displaced, homes were destroyed, medical aid was urgently required and hunger and thirst become widespread. As-Salaam’s UK team were on the ground on two separate deployments and provided 729 food packs, 226 blankets, 100 mattresses and 100 hygiene kits in areas most affected including the High Atlas mountains. Thank you for providing life saving essentials to those who needed you the most!

It’s been harrowing since Storm Daniel struck Libya, leading to the devastating collapse of two dams. The aftermath is unparalleled in recent memory. Over 12,500 souls have been lost, and a staggering 10,000 remain unaccounted for. The floodwaters have shown no mercy, particularly affecting the north-eastern cities of Benghazi, Sousa, Derna, and Al-Marj. Entire neighbourhoods, once bustling with life, have been annihilated in the torrents. Many Libyans have lost everything: their homes, their cherished possessions, and for some, their loved ones. We have supported these victims with £10,000 worth of emergency aid including food, water, shelter, clothing and hygiene kits. Our distribution between Oct and Dec 2023 have eased the lives of so many.

In Bangladesh 20.5% of the population live below the national poverty line (2019), the proportion of employed population below $1.90 purchasing power parity/day in 2022 was 2.7% and for every 1,000 babies born in Bangladesh in 2021, 27 died before their 5th birthday due to hunger. As part of As-Salaam Foundation’s objectives to empower communities, we were able to distribute 10 milk cows to those who need it most. We are hoping that this acts as a means for them to generate a steady income for their families so that they can swim to the top of this vicious cycle of hunger. We also provided a comprehensive 10-week sewing course to 20 determined women. Upon successful completion of the course, these women were presented with a brand new sewing machine. This isn’t just a machine; it’s a key to self-reliance and financial independence. The training and machine together will allow these women to earn a steady source of income for their families.

Aggression in Gaza resulted in over 25 deaths and 70 injuries in May 2023. With access to healthcare and food being restricted by the blockade and aggression in Gaza, our volunteers have been working tirelessly to provide humanitarian aid to those who need it most.

Throughout the blessed month of Ramadan, two Masjids have been constructed in Uganda, where we believe they are needed most. This will allow communities to thrive as these Masjid’s will prove a safe haven to worship and as a community hub for the locals. For £5,000 you could allow us to build masjids where they are required most, with a capacity of 100 people. Remember the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stated “whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” so by donating, not only will you be providing a place of worship but laying foundations for your own spiritual rewards in this life and the next.
