Dear Donors,
Thank you for caring about Muslim children and families facing hunger in northeast Nigeria.
A child does not understand insurgency.
A child does not understand displacement.
A child only knows when there is no food on the table.
Years of conflict have forced millions of people from their homes across northeast Nigeria. Many families have lost their farms, livestock and sources of income. Some now live in crowded settlements where food, clean water and healthcare are difficult to access.
For mothers and fathers, the pain of watching a child go hungry can be difficult to describe.
They want to provide.
They want their children to eat well.
They want them to grow, learn and have a future beyond the crisis.
But many families simply do not have the means.
This is why we are asking Muslims to share their Zakat with families facing hunger and hardship.
Zakat support from this project will help provide food parcels, meals, clean water and basic healthcare to vulnerable families, with priority for children, women, older people and people living with disabilities.
A meal can mean a child goes to bed with something in their stomach.
Clean water can protect a family from preventable illness.
Basic healthcare can help someone receive care when they have nowhere else to turn.
Your Zakat can become food, water and care for a family in need.
May Allah accept every sincere act of giving and reward those who remember families facing hunger.
With gratitude,
Zahra Yasir
