Hot iftars, full hearts: your impact in Gaza/Syria

By Samy Refaat | Relations Officer

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
