IN MEMORY OF OMAR BARZAK

Inna lillahi wa inna alayhi raj'un.

To Allah we belong and verily to him we return.

Friday 26th April 2024

This morning, our brother Omar (known as Barzak) passed away in a fatal car accident. He was a beloved brother to all and a pillar in the community. Insha'Allah in June, a water well will be inaugurated in his memory as a form of Sadaqah Jariah. The water from this well will help communities in farming, cleanliness and hydration.

We will also do various other Sadaqah Jariah projects in his name worldwide.

Please kindly donate generously so we can continue Barzak's legacy.

“Whoever saves the life of one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind” (Quran 5:32)

350,000 children facing starvation.

After little to no rain for three entire seasons, hunger in East Africa is higher than has been for thirty years. Devastating losses to crops and livestock have caused an unimaginable increase in hunger levels, with a staggering 55% increase in severely malnourished children being admitted into clinics.

$100 will provide a family with a nutritious food parcel to last a month and clean water.

A person dying every 48 seconds

Almost half a million people in the Horn of Africa are facing famine-like conditions, with one person dying every 48 seconds, according to a new report.

In East Africa, 90% of all districts have been hit by drought, with people forced to flee their homes in search of food, water and pasture for their livestock. The uncertainty of displacement puts vulnerable families at risk of disease, poor hygiene, and gender-based violence.

The worst hunger levels in three decades are a culmination of cyclical droughts, conflict, climate shocks, rising food prices, and national debt. There is no end in sight as the nation continues to await the mercy of rain.

As conflict in Ukraine has set prices soaring, families in East Africa that were already struggling to afford food now face famine if help is not received imminently.

Your support is urgently needed to help save lives.
