Dear Generous Donors,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who has stood by the people of Yemen during these challenging times. Your unwavering support has made a significant impact.

Your compassion and generosity have made a difference, and we invite you to continue supporting our Ramdanmpaign to distribute food baskets to those in need.  This Ramadan, please consider donating and/or sharing our campaign with family and friends to help us provide essential relief to those in need. Together, we can create positive change and alleviate suffering.

I am sharing some photos from this Ramdan’s food distribution.

Thank you for being a beacon of hope for Yemen.

With warm regards,

Aisha Jumaan

Al-Salaam Alikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barkatuh,

We are pleased to report that the first 100 families, 600 people did not have to go hungry this Ramadan, thanks to your generous and kind donation.  Jazakum Allah Kul Khair.

As we reach the middle of this Holy Month of Ramadan, I pray that you and your family and loved ones have had blessed days, and that the second half of Ramadan will be filled with serenity and peace. 

Many of us take our blessings for granted; yet the war in Yemen demonstrated how everything can be taken away without any warning.  The people have lost peace, homes, jobs, and even their ability to provide a meal a day for their families and loved ones. 

The Quran recounts multiple times the reward for those who feed the hungry.

"أَوْ إِطْعَـٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ١٤ يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ١٥ أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ١٦ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ١٧ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ١٨"

“Or feeding, on a day of severe hunger, an orphaned relative, or a needy person in distress. And to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to perseverance and urge each other to compassion. These are the people of the right.” (Qur’an 90:14-18)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known to have said: “An individual should not eat until they feed someone who is hungry.”

Thank you very much for your donation to support our relief work in Yemen.  Jazakum Allah kul khair.  Please consider donating again to alleviate some of their suffering.  It only costs $2 to feed a family of 6 a day. If you can’t donate, please share our campaign with family and friends.  If not, please make Doua for peace in Yemen.

May your prayers be accepted; your Doua be answered, and your good deeds be rewarded.

Salaam all and Ramadan Mubarak,

We are reaching out to you during this month of Mercy to ask that you support hungry families in Yemen.  It cost $2 per day to feed a family of six per day.  One good deed is worth 10 rewards as specified in our holy book, the sacred Quran.

May you, your families and loved ones enjoy this blessed month.

Salaam all,

We have been blessed with generous donors such as yourself.  We have done a lot in our relief work in Yemen with funds that was donated.  Please check our updates.  We continue to reach those most in need and especially in hard to reach areas. 

Please also consider supporting our current campaign. 

Thank you for your support.

I am reaching out this Ramadan as the situation in Yemen deteriorated.  Please consider giving Saqaqah and Zakat to feed the hungry.  https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/ramadan_month_of_giving?src=internal_discover#!/

Jazakum Allah kul Khair. 

Al-Matammah and Al-Motoon Districts – Al-Jawf Governorate

Please support our latest effort to support hundreds of Yemeni families: https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/save_a_life_in_yemen_7?src=update

Al-Matammah and Al-Matoon are districts in Al-Jawf Governorate that house over 100,000 people. The local people continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict. 

Families struggle to make their ends meet. Their living condition has dramatically deteriorated at the household level, leaving them vulnerable to preventable diseases. Children experience a very high rate of malnutrition. 

Moreover, hundreds of displaced families have taken shelters in both districts.  Their living condition at the random IDP settlements is even far worse than that of the host communities. 

YRRF provided 200 families (600 people) with food baskets targeting the most vulnerable families. 

We ask for your support again!

Due to COVID-19 economy, many countries are cutting their support for the Humanitarian aid in Yemen. USAID, WFP have already announced deep cuts and the UN announced that it is cutting 31 of the 41 programs in Yemen.  Now, more than ever, your support is needed to help those most in need.  Please consider donating and sharing our campaign with family and friends.  Jazakum Allah Khair.

Salaam alikum and Khawatum Mubarakah,

As Ramadan is entering the last 10 days and as we approach Laylat Al-Qadr, I am writing to ask that you consider supporting families in need in Yemen.  In these blessed days, feeding the hungry is one of the activities that brings us closer to the Allah.  The Quran, through many verses, encourages us to give to those less fortunate and feed the hungry.  Surah Baqarah, 2:215 States:

يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنفِقُونَ قُلْ مَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا تَفْعَلُواْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ

215. They will ask thee as to what they should spend on others. Say: “Whatever of your wealth you spend, shall (first) be for your parents, and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer; and whatever good you do, verily, God has full knowledge thereof.”

There are at least 14 millions in Yemen who are the verge of famine.  You contribution will save lives.  

Please support our campaign and share it with family and friends following the guidance of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who said, "Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action".

Salaam/Peace friends,

Ramadan Mubarak.  We are delighted to share with you that we started out first Ramadan distribution today, Friday, May 3rd in Sana'a with 100 food baskets, feeding at least 600 people for the Holy month of Ramadan.  Families of children with special needs were the recipients of these food baskets. 

This year, we decided to start early so that people can start Ramadan knowing that they have food.  We will continue our distribution throughout Ramadan and during Eid.  I am attaching a few pictures from today's distribution.  

Please share our campaign with family and friends.  Your support is crucial to ensure that many families spend this Holy month knowing that kind and generous people do care and would like for them to have a peace of mind about feeding their families.

Thank you for your support. 

Salaam/Peace friends,

We made it; we now have bought 1300 water filters and got a donation of another 700 for a total of 2000 water filters.  We will continue to update you as we ship and distribute them.

We also want to share with you other good news from Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation.

We are delighted to share with you that we have reached about 110,000 people in Yemen with food rations that sustain them for one month in 2018.  All the funds donated were used to provide much needed food, school bags and supplies and warm clothing to the most in need.  Our volunteers at Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, reached the most inaccessible areas of Yemen.  Our teams traveled up to 16 hours to reach the most difficult places where no one else had provided aid. 

I am happy to share the most recent photos of food baskets distributed to 300 families in Aslim, Hajjah, whose children are hospitalized for severe malnutrition.  This area borders Saudi Arabia and is not accessible to most aid agencies.  However, because we work with Yemeni volunteers, we were able to be there and act in your behalf in delivering aid. 

Between Thanksgiving and Today, we distributed food baskets to 1400 families and provided internally displaced children with school bags and supplies and provided shelter for the space they are using to attain their education, picture attached.  I was informed that the children and the community were very happy.

On Behalf of the people who received relief services, we wish to extend our gratitude for your support and wish you, your families and loved ones a happy and prosperous New Year.

Salaam/Peace all,

We have been blessed with raising fund for our food baskets.  We have distributed 600 baskets feeding 3600 people from those funds.  LaunchGood is giving away funds to campaign that gain support from their donors.  We are reaching out to ask your support so that we may get the extra funds.  

We are also blessed to have been able to reach about 100,000 people with food baskets in Yemen.  Your donations have saved those lives.

"and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind" Quran 5:32

Please share our campaign with family and friends on this giving Tuesday.

We are delighted to share with you the good news from our campaign.
