HotMeals for Struggling Communities in Africa

After a tiring day at work, that feeling of being hungry and unfulfilled…

Having to count every second until you can finally go back home and eat…

The thought of a meal after a tiring day making your mouth water…

It has to be one of the worst feelings ever. Fortunately for most of us, this is a rare occurrence in our lives.

But, how would you feel if this was your reality every day?

Worse still, how would you feel if you, as a parent, could no longer afford any meal at all and were forced to watch your children go to bed hungry on a daily basis?

How would you feel if your only source suddenly went away and you had not even an ounce of savings in your bank account?

We ask this because in Africa, especially in the East and South, over 66 MILLION people go through these exact situations every day.

Here’s what’s happening:

Africa houses some of the poorest economies in the world today by per capita income, and the ones who are suffering the most from this reality are the people in rural areas of the region.

In these rural places, you will find tribal areas where people live in mud huts and are chained in ruthless shackles of poverty.

As these people continue to feel their strength drain out of their bodies, the struggle to survive becomes harder every passing second…

Knowing this is happening on our watch, should we — as fellow Muslims and humans — just stand by and do nothing?

Did You Know?

There’s a lot going wrong in the world right now. And one of the most prominent of these “wrongs” is the fact that MILLIONS of people go to bed hungry every day.

Sadly, a large portion of the victims of this crisis live in East & South Africa.

In fact,

❌️ Over 66 million people are food insecure in the region

❌️ 40.2% of the population in Eastern & Southern Africa was undernourished in 2022

❌️ More than two-thirds of the population in Central Africa, Eastern Africa and Western Africa does not have access to adequate food…

A basic meal in the region costs no less than $6. 

Can you imagine how entire families would be getting through on less than $0.96 a day? 

According to the World Health Organization, not having proper nutrition means…

  • Deteriorated infant, child, and maternal health
  • Weakened immune system
  • Unsafe pregnancies and childbirth, 
  • Higher risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease) 
  • Low life expectancy
  • High rates of malnutrition
  • Poor productivity, weakened learning capacity, loss of living opportunities

In other words, an entire nation is helpless & being destroyed at the hands of hunger and poverty!

But…

“And whoever saves a life, it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind”

Quran 5:32

Every meal you sponsor can help us save lives and provide lifesaving nutrition to the most vulnerable of people in these communities.

And for every life you save, it will be added to your good deeds such that you have saved all of mankind!

Most of all, helping us feed these people in need is the test of your faith too. Because, according to Islam, helping those who are hungry is one of the best acts of charity and compassion.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbor to his side goes hungry.” (Sahih Bukhari)

These teachings confirm that your contribution today not just helps us feed a person — it also helps you beautify your Akhirah. 

But every passing day… 

More lives and livelihoods are lost to this ruthless battle with hunger in these communities. And that means, we do not have much time to sit back and think.

Here’s What YOU Can Achieve By Donating Today…

Whether you contribute €3 or €3000 today,

Your contribution helps us achieve our goal, and helps us solve one of the biggest humanitarian problems in the region.

Best of all, the profundity of the impact is far greater for both you and the person you help us feed because in doing so…
