Worldwide, food insecurity affects almost three-quarters of a billion people. Poverty, conflict and the climate crisis push the price upwards, leaving numerous families unable to provide sufficient sustenance for themselves and their children.
The dire conditions and extreme poverty prevalent in many communities compel millions of children to engage in labour to earn wages for their families’ survival. Tragically, this perpetuates a cycle of poverty where they are deprived of the education that could break them free from the shackles of poverty.
In response to this pressing crisis, Zia Ul Ummah Foundation has undertaken an essential role in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. Across many communities, our teams have established food banks that are crucial in distributing cooked meals and food packs to impoverished people. On a daily basis, our team strives to alleviate the suffering of men, women and children who are grappling with the harsh realities of hunger and malnutrition. The beneficiaries of these efforts extend to widows, the elderly, orphans, children engaged in labour, and entire families who regularly rely on the support provided by Zia Ul Ummah Foundation.
Zia Ul Ummah Foundation’s commitment to combating hunger and malnutrition is evident in the daily provision of meals and the targeted assistance offered to vulnerable groups. By addressing the immediate needs of widows, the elderly, orphans, and children forced into labour, the foundation aims to break the cycle of poverty and provide a glimmer of hope in the lives of those struggling to survive in the face of severe deprivation.
Hot Meals
Your support is crucial in sustaining our daily food kitchen, which provides hot meals to thousands of individuals every day throughout the year. A mere £20 can supply life-saving food for ten people grappling with extreme poverty. Our food program is Zakat eligible, allowing you to direct your Zakat to a Zia Ul Ummah, guaranteeing that your contribution directly reaches those who need it most.
Join us in this impactful initiative, as your generosity holds the potential to make a significant difference in alleviating hunger and supporting those facing the harsh realities of extreme poverty.
Food Parcels
Our commitment to alleviating hunger extends to providing culturally appropriate family food packs that include essentials like flour, rice, lentils, and key ingredients commonly used by families in the region. Each carefully picked food pack is designed to sustain a family for an entire month, offering temporary relief while efforts are made to address the root causes of poverty. We recognise that a more sustainable solution also involves tackling the underlying issues perpetuating poverty, ensuring that families can eventually break free from the cycle of deprivation and achieve lasting well-being.
