Deliver Food Aid to the Hungry
Hunger is a major problem affecting hundreds of millions across the world. Every day, families struggle to find enough food to eat, while many children go to bed hungry.
In some regions, famine and conflict have worsened the crisis, leaving entire communities malnourished. In others, chronic poverty and a lack of economic opportunities prevent families from affording basic meals. The grinding hunger that characterises these parts of the world leads to malnutrition, illness, and in the worst cases, death.
Nowhere to Turn
Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger are usually poor and lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programmes. When a family cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help.
‘The best of you are those who feed others.’ [Ahmad]
Ummah Welfare Trust emergency food packages are composed of a variety of staple foodstuffs which cover the major food groups. These nutritious staple foods sustain families during crises, natural disasters, and extreme poverty.
