$30 Provides 360 meals This Holy Month of Ramadan



وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا

And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,- (Quran 76:8)

14 million people are at risk of Famine

Your Zakat/donation of $30 can provide a family 360 meals to families in need during this Holy Month of Ramadan.

This 20th Day of Ramadan, we have reached 1200 families with 7,2000 members with food baskets providing them 14,400 meals that sustain them for this Holy month of Ramadan. 

This Ramadan, Yemeni are facing COVID19 with catastrophic consequences because the immunity of the population has been compromised by famine and diseases.

Yemen is experiencing the largest Humanitarian crisis in the word with 22 million people in need of aid and 14 million people are at risk of famine.  85,000 Yemeni children under five years die of malnutrition and infectious diseases annually.  Yemen is a place where your contribution of $30 can feed provide 360 meals for family of six during this holy month of Ramadan.  

All your donation goes to provide the food baskets, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation covers the cost associated with the delivery.  We work in most devastated areas by the war and in hard to reach area due to geography or war.

As the world struggles with COVID19 and many people are losing their source of income, the situation in Yemen is compounded as many of those who were able to support their families and communities can no longer do that.

600 people experienced kindness of our donors this Ramadan



بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

Al-Salaam Alikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barkatuh and Jumaah Mubarakah,

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. 

https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/feed_1000_families_in_yemen#!/

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 past donation to support our relief work in Yemen.  Jazakum Allah kul khair.  Please consider donating again, or including us in your zakat, to alleviate some of the 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.

https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/feed_1000_families_in_yemen#!/

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

Support Yemeni Families this Ramadan

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.

Please support our campaign in Yemen!

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


C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0016.jpg


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. 

C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0026.jpg

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. 

C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0023.jpg

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!

Gratitude for your support

Salaam/Peace friends,

Thank you very much for your very generous donations.  I am happy to share with you that we have reached 2,818 families this Holy Month of Ramadan with food baskets that feed each family for one month.  We still have 100 food baskets to distribute tomorrow insha-Allah.  By the end of Ramadan, we would have provided  35,016 meals to 17,508 people. We also supported over 350 orphans with monthly funds and Eid funds.  Finally, we are planning to support the orphans this Eid, this Sunday, with bags of goodies.  All funds donated go to provide services to those in need. 

May God reward you for supporting our work in Yemen.

Jazakum Allah Kul Khair and Eid Mubarak.  Aisha

A message of Gratitude

Salaam Alikum wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barakatuh,

Alhamed lillah, we were able to reach 2000 families to date this Ramadan with food baskets feeding 12000 family members for one month.  We are grateful to all our supporters who made this possible.  We will continue to provide baskets as donations come in because we know how crucial this work is.  Unfortunately, what we feared most occurred with COVID19 spreading and calming many lives.  

The head of the UN Refugee agency in Yemen today said:
"We know that the immunity among the population is very low. We are speaking here about people who maybe eat once a day." Mr Bouze said.

As we approach Laylat Algadar, I pray that you and your loved ones will be safe and be engulfed in Allah's mercy.  

May I ask that you share our campaign with family and friends.  

Jazakum Allah Kul Khair.
