Feeding Programmes

Worldwide, over 735 million people suffer from chronic hunger, with 2.4 billion lacking year-round access to adequate food (UN, 2024). Extreme poverty forces millions to go days without eating, leaving families malnourished and vulnerable. Our Feeding Programmes aim to alleviate hunger and food insecurity through both short-term relief and long-term solutions.

As-Salaam Foundation’s Feeding Programmes deliver vital support through food packs, hot meals, and Qurbani and Aqeeqah distributions. We believe access to nutritious food is a basic human right. Our initiatives not only address immediate hunger but also work towards building sustainable food security, helping vulnerable communities achieve dignity, stability, and hope.

The Covid-19 pandemic worsened the global hunger crisis, pushing already food-insecure families to the brink of starvation. According to the UN, its effects nearly doubled the number of people at risk of hunger, creating what was described as a potential “hunger pandemic.” Today, with food prices soaring, conflicts escalating, and livelihoods destroyed, the situation remains critical.

Every night, one in ten people goes to bed hungry — an increase of over 122 million people since 2019. Many are forced to eat food lacking nutrients, eat less than needed, or skip meals entirely.

With your support, we can continue fighting hunger, feeding families, and transforming lives across the globe.
