Share Your Zakat to Feed Muslim Families in Crisis

Dear Donors,

For many displaced families in northeast Nigeria, hunger is not about missing a favourite meal. It is reaching the end of the day and having nothing left to cook.

Years of conflict have forced families from communities where they once farmed, raised livestock, traded, and provided for themselves. Some fled without knowing when they would return. Others have been displaced for years. When farmland, livestock, homes, businesses, and income disappear, putting food on the table becomes a daily struggle.

Children carry much of this burden. A growing child needs regular, nutritious meals, yet many displaced parents are forced to reduce portions, skip meals, or depend on whatever assistance they can find. Older people, people living with disabilities, pregnant women, and families caring for several children can face even greater difficulty finding enough food.

The scale of the crisis remains alarming. The World Food Programme reports that nearly 5.8 million people in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe are facing severe food insecurity in 2026, while 2.3 million people remain displaced by violence and insecurity across northeast Nigeria.

This is why your Zakat matters.

Through Share Your Zakat to Feed Muslim Families in Crisis, we plan to provide food parcels, nutritious meals, clean water and basic healthcare to Muslim families facing hunger and displacement.

A bag of food may look ordinary, but to a parent with hungry children, it can mean breakfast tomorrow morning. It can mean preparing dinner without wondering which child should receive the larger portion. It can mean an elderly person eating a proper meal instead of going to bed hungry.

To our donors, thank you for remembering these families. Your Zakat carries a simple but powerful message to someone experiencing hardship: you have not been forgotten.

There are still many families waiting for help. Please share this project with relatives, friends, mosques and Muslim communities so that more people searching for a way to give their Zakat can learn about families in need.

May your generosity bring relief to a family facing hunger and put food where today there may be none.

Dear Donors,

For many displaced Muslim families in northeast Nigeria, the question each morning is painfully simple: What will we eat today?

Years of conflict and repeated displacement have taken families away from their homes, farmland, livestock and sources of income. Parents who once grew their own food or earned enough to provide for their children can suddenly find themselves living in displacement camps or struggling within host communities, dependent on humanitarian assistance for their next meal.

The hunger crisis in northeast Nigeria remains severe. The World Food Programme reports that 2.3 million people are displaced by violence and insecurity across the region, while nearly 5.8 million people in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe are facing severe food insecurity in 2026. In Borno alone, more than 3 million people are acutely food insecure.

Behind these numbers are families.

There is a mother trying to divide a small amount of food among several children. There is an older person who may have lost the strength and income to provide for themselves. There are children whose growing bodies need nutritious meals but whose families cannot afford enough food. There are also people living with illness who need medical attention but must choose between buying medicine and buying something to eat.

For children, prolonged hunger can become dangerous. UNICEF reports that around one million children across Borno, Adamawa and Yobe are expected to suffer life-threatening severe acute malnutrition in 2026.

This is why Share Your Zakat to Feed Muslim Families in Crisis remains necessary.

Through this project, Zakat will help provide food parcels, nutritious meals, clean water, basic healthcare and other relief to Muslim families affected by conflict and displacement. Priority will be given to households facing the greatest hardship, including children, women, older people and people living with disabilities.

Zakat given to a family facing hunger can mean food in an empty home. It can mean a mother preparing a proper meal for her children. It can mean an older person eating that day. It can mean basic medical care for someone who has nowhere else to seek help.

For families who have lost almost everything, these acts of kindness matter.

To every donor who has shared their Zakat through this project, thank you. Your generosity reminds families living through displacement and hunger that they have not been forgotten.

The need across northeast Nigeria remains immense. Please continue to share this project with your family, friends and Muslim communities. Someone looking for a place to give their Zakat may simply need to hear about a family waiting for help.

May every gift bring food to a hungry family, comfort to someone living through hardship, and relief to those who need it most.

Thank you for remembering them.
