The worst season for struggling families is now here.

Winter’s biting winds and rains have arrived, bringing even more poverty and hardship to families across the Ummah.

Higher fuel costs, poor nutrition and a lack of protection against the cold will stretch families in Syria, Gaza and elsewhere to breaking point. The outcome, especially for the young and old, can be devastating.

Despite not being seen as an emergency, tens of thousands of extra deaths occur during winter every year.

It’s up to us to stop this.

‘Whoever relieves a believer from one of the hardships of this world, Allah will relieve him one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection.’ [Bukhari]

Though we cannot stop the cold, we can help needy mothers and their children to stay warm.

For just £50 you can provide blankets and other essentials to a family in Syria, Gaza and elsewhere across the Ummah.
