Hygiene Packs
Hygiene packs provide families with essential items such as soap, toothpaste, sanitary products, and disinfectants, helping them maintain dignity and prevent disease.
In crisis zones and impoverished communities, access to basic hygiene is scarce, and women often struggle the most with essential needs such as sanitary products. Hygiene packs provide families with soap, toothpaste, disinfectants, and sanitary items—essentials that protect against disease, restore dignity, and offer comfort. These packs improve health and give communities, especially women, a chance for safer, healthier, and more dignified living.

Hand pump wells bring clean, reliable water directly to drought-affected communities, transforming villages and providing hundreds with safe drinking water.
Build a water well today in your name, or that of a loved one, and uplift an entire community currently being forced to drink dirty, contaminated water. All wells are hand pumps, with a depth of around 15-20 metres and a life expectancy of between 5-10 years. Don’t worry! we will forever maintain these, so the longevity will be for a long time. Each hand pump will be installed in the most drought-hit communities, helping to transform a village and provide clean water to hundreds of people.

Blankets
Warm blankets offer vital protection from freezing temperatures for vulnerable families facing harsh winters without adequate heating or shelter.
This winter will be one of the harshest winters many families have faced in decades, and it’s not just because the temperature is dropping. Families around the world, especially those who are living in refugee camps and in extreme poverty will struggle to protect themselves during these cold days and nights as the cost of living becomes more and more expensive. Around the world, the basic cost of supplies has gone up, which means more and more people are now finding it difficult to pay for the essentials.
The cost of food, firewood and gas has increased around the globe, these are essential supplies to keep families warm in the winter. As many communities around the world prepare for the freezing temperatures to kick in, we can assist them by providing good quality blankets, to help keep them warm and be the first line of defence against the bitter cold. Each blanket will provide families with an additional layer of warmth this winter.

Clothing Bundles
Clothing bundles provide essential winter protection for families facing freezing temperatures without adequate warm clothing or shelter.
For many of us, winter is marked by gentle snowfall, roaring fires, fluffy blankets and warm clothes. Temperatures fall and roads become icy and wet, but we know that in our homes we are safe, warm and protected. However, for countless people around the world, winter is a battle for survival. However, winter is a crisis they cannot flee. Without winter clothing, they cannot seek refuge from the sub-zero temperatures, snow and freezing rain. Warm clothing will make the world of difference. A typical clothing bundle will include a scarf, coat, socks, a hat and a pair of gloves.

Hifz Sponsorships
Hifz sponsorships provide vulnerable children with the opportunity to memorize the Qur’an while receiving essential care and education.
Learning the teachings of the Qur’an is a vital component of the Islamic faith. But despite this, thousands of vulnerable children and orphans across the world are deprived of their right to an education. In addition, many of these children must begin to earn a living and contribute to their families when they are still very young. We are committed to empowering children from underprivileged families and offering them a Quranic education through our Hifz Sponsorship Programme. This provides them with the opportunity to read and understand the Holy Qur’an, as well as providing a rudimentary secular education. Our Hifz sponsorship programme provides children with food, shelter and healthcare thanks to the generous contributions of our donors. A typical Hifz student will take 3 years to complete their programme.

Orphan Sponsorship
Orphan sponsorship transforms the lives of vulnerable children by providing essential care, education, and the stability needed to build a secure future.
It is estimated that more than 150 million children have been orphaned by war, famine or disease, many with no one to care for them and no family to support them. With little access to food, education and healthcare, they are unable to thrive and achieve their dreams. Help lift orphans out of poverty by providing them with regular meals, access to healthcare, new clothes and a place at a school. We help provide a safe environment for every child while equipping them with the tools needed to achieve safety and security while creating a better life for themselves. Each orphan is beautiful in their own way and we endeavour to match you up with an orphan who you will receive tailored communication from.

Build A Masjid
New masjids transform remote communities by providing accessible worship spaces and creating spiritual centers that bring people together.
Masjids are thin on the ground in places like rural Uganda, amongst other places in Africa. Worshippers often have to walk long distances in all weathers simply to congregate in prayer – this daily challenge, on top of the constant demand to find work, food, and water for their families. But, more than simply a place to pray, a Masjid, by its nature, brings people together to create the heart of a community. And you can help. Your donations provide the means to build a mosque that will transform the lives of people in such communities. For them, less time to walk for worship means more time for prayer.

Cataract Removal
Simple cataract removal procedures can restore sight instantly, yet many remain blind simply because they cannot afford this life-changing treatment.
Cataract removals are simple yet life-changing procedures which restore sight and can remove blindness almost instantly. And yet, many people around the world are living with blindness simply because they cannot afford the medical expense of treatment. We work in places like Bangladesh, as its has one of the lowest cataract surgical rates (CSR) globally, with estimates falling below 2,000 surgeries per million population per year—far below what is needed to address the burden of preventable blindness.

Qurbani | Aqiqah
Our Qurbani and Aqiqah services fulfill religious obligations while ensuring fresh, halal meat reaches families in need during these blessed occasions.
During the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah we select the healthiest and of the correct age animals to perform your Qurbani on. The slaughtering process is carried out humanely and according to the Shari’ah ruling on halal, whilst the meat is processed in a professional, sanitised environment. Moreover, we observe the highest standards in packaging and transportation to ensure the meat doesn’t spoil before it reaches the poor.
The same process applied to Aqiqah where it should be performed seven days after the birth, with two small animals sacrificed for a boy and one for a girl. The meat is subsequently distributed to those in most need.
*Small animals consist of a goat or a sheep. Large animals consist of a cow unless otherwise stated.

Hot Meals
Hot meals provide immediate relief to families experiencing hunger, delivering essential nutrition and comfort when it’s needed most.
Imagine waking up every morning with no food in the house, worried about where the next meal is going to come from for you and your family? Imagine going to bed, hungry, every single night having barely eaten that day. Imagine watching your child cry out from hunger. Food is a basic necessity for survival and also the key to a healthy life. Without regular healthy meals children struggle to go to school, carers struggle to work, and communities are left battling to survive.

Food Packs
When families face impossible choices between food and other basic needs, our food packs provide essential relief directly to vulnerable households.
In impoverished countries including Bangladesh, Yemen and Pakistan, deep-rooted poverty affecting large proportions of the population means that millions are food insecure, unsure of where their next meal is coming from. Many of the country’s poorer people engage in daily wage labour which offers no security. Millions were facing their darkest days in the face of hunger and starvation, making impossible decisions about whether to eat, be clothed, or be clean. With today’s economic environment, many communities are facing huge rises in the cost of food and living making basic items unaffordable.
