10 Years of Ramadan Charity Basket

For the 10th year running, SimplyIslam.sg is happy to continue our annual Ramadan project where we provide food and financial help to 200 needy families in Singapore in time for Eid al-Fitr.

Watch a video of one of our recipients here: https://www.facebook.com/simplyislam.sg/videos/10155558736106264/


Our Partners
In the early days, we organised the charity drive with only Muslim Kidney Action Association (MKAC). They provide care and support to Muslims who are suffering from kidney failure and chronic ailments and providing financial assistance to their families.

Over the years, we've collaborated with more organisations and groups, thereby increasing the Ramadan Charity Basket recipients!


This year, on top of MKAC recipients, we will also be helping recipients from Marine Parade Family Service Center. They have a list of needy recipients that we deliver the Baskets to! We are grateful to the Malay Activity Executive Committee (MAEC) for collaborating with us this year!





Giving food, Eid goodies and cash to 200 needy families

Eid, or Hari Raya, is a time when families cook delicious food, wear beautiful clothes and spruce up their homes in anticipation of guests. In Singapore, celebrations go on for a month long! 

Not all families can afford what the 'typical' Singaporean family enjoys and especially during Eid, it can feel even more lonely.

The food provisions include rice, milk, sugar, dry foods and other basic amenities including Eid novelties, and some cash.

Please donate generously so we can make Ramadan & Eid better for these families.


Annual Packing + Delivering

If you would like to volunteer to PACK and/or DELIVER the Baskets, please email your Name and Contact Number to enquiries@simplyislam.sg or call 65474407.

Delivery of the Baskets will be on Saturday, 10 June and Sunday, 11 June 2017, 2pm to 6pm. Please volunteer to deliver especially if you have a vehicle!

How You Are Helping

Each Basket has rice, milk, sugar, dry foods and other basic amenities including Eid novelties, and some cash (if we collect more). They cost around $175 each.

We need to raise $40,000 to continue providing for 200 needy families this Eid. If we raise more, each family will get some cash inshaAllah.

6 days left to our annual Ramadan Charity Basket Drive!

Assalaamualaikum everyone!

Alhamdulillah, thanks to YOU, we've managed to raise $36,118. We are only about $4,000 away from our goal of $40,000 and we're confident we'll reach it inshaAllah!

Here's a special GIF for you to post on your social media!



You can right-click on it and "Copy Image Address" and paste it on your Facebook status. Once you've posted, it will 'play' automatically.


We're grateful for your support and ask Allah to reward everyone with the best of rewards in this life and the next, accept your fasting and your prayers and your charity and all your good deeds, and remove all your difficulties, ameen!

The groceries are arriving next week and our volunteers will start packing them into 3 big bags for each family. If we raise any excess funds, they will be distributed as cash for the families in need. As we know, there are additional expenses when Eid comes around.


Thank you once again and if you'd like to watch a short video we made of one of the recipients of the Ramadan Charity Basket, please click here: https://www.facebook.com/simplyislam.sg/videos/10155558736106264/
