Hot Iftar meals for the Fasting in Gaza and Syria

Dear Friend,

Ramadan has come and gone. And because of you, thousands of fasting families in Gaza and Syria didn't have to break their fast alone—or on an empty plate.

Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to provide hot, nourishing iftar meals every single day throughout the holy month. In Gaza, where hunger has become a daily reality for so many, your support meant a mother could place a warm meal in front of her children at sunset. In Syria, displaced families living in camps sat together and shared food with dignity—something many of them hadn't felt in a long time.

We saw it all. Children waiting eagerly for the Maghrib call. Elders thanking Allah with tears in their eyes. Families eating together, smiling for just a moment despite everything.

We've attached photos from our Ramadan distributions—meals being prepared, food being shared, and the joy that your kindness brought to so many tables. These are the faces of your generosity.

Ramadan is over, but the need continues. Families still struggle to find their next meal. Your support during the holy month was a lifeline. Please don't let that lifeline run out.

Continue your giving. Help us provide daily meals beyond Ramadan.

With deep gratitude,

The Smile Givers International Team

Dear Supporter,

As we approach the sacred month of Ramadan, beginning this February, our hearts and efforts turn towards ensuring that families in Gaza and Syria can observe this time of reflection and community with dignity. Your support for this campaign is transforming into tangible preparations to deliver hope and nourishment.

While recent reports indicate some improvement in food supplies entering Gaza, the situation remains catastrophic for hundreds of thousands. UN-backed experts note that over 100,000 people were still experiencing "catastrophic" levels of food insecurity, and the destruction of livelihoods continues to push families to the brink. In Syria, years of displacement have left countless refugees without reliable resources. Our team is actively on the ground, finalizing partnerships with local distributors and procuring staple foods to assemble nourishing Iftar meal packs and food baskets. This pre-Ramadan work is critical to ensuring your donations reach those in need as soon as the month begins.

Seize the opportunity now because Ramadan is a time of multiplied rewards and open generosity. We invite you to join us in making this a Ramadan of resilience for our oppressed brothers and sisters in Syria and Palestine. Your support now allows us to act swiftly and effectively.

Thank you for being a source of hope. Together, we are providing more than a meal; we are offering dignity, community, and the strength to face another day.

With gratitude,

The Smile Givers International Team
