Eid gifts

You can spread joy this Eid by giving gifts to orphans and vulnerable children.

A widespread tradition of Eid is the exchanging of gifts, known as Eidi or Eidiya.

Eid gifts are a special part of Islamic Relief’s global programme, and for communities and children living in poverty, it can be transformative.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged this practice by saying:

Our Eid Gifts Programme

Every year, Islamic Relief runs a global programme to provide gifts to vulnerable children and orphans, whose caregivers are unable to do so, giving them something to smile about while they face difficult circumstances.

Our programme has provided for the most vulnerable groups of child rightsholders and orphans under the age of 18.

These gifts provide children with useful items such as new clothes, school bags and other educational equipment. We also provide items which will simply be enjoyed by children, such as toys, balloons and sweets.

Last year, we delivered 31,605 Eid gifts to nearly 50,000 children across 17 countries, across the world in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
