This winter is particularly challenging for the most vulnerable families across the globe. With high energy and food prices, more and more people have been pushed into poverty. Support our Winter Appeal and help families survive the harsh winter weather.
Families struggle even more in the midst of winter’s plummeting temperatures and harsh weather. They face a struggle to feed themselves, a struggle to keep warm, a struggle to keep safe, and a struggle to survive.
Many are also prone to serious illnesses in these conditions. Children are particularly vulnerable, and as well as falling sick, many are unable to study and go to school.
Adults face an even greater struggle to work, pushing many families further into poverty.
In Gaza and Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of people face a brutal winter in makeshift shelters, not knowing where their next meal will be coming from.
In Yemen and Syria, too many face a struggle to feed themselves and keep warm.
Our Winter Appeal is a lifeline for families in crisis. Whether they need food, hygiene items, supplies to repair their shelter, firewood, cash or vouchers to buy warm clothes – your support can mean their survival.
In 2023, thanks to the generous contributions from our donors and supporters, we were able to deliver winter essentials to over 475,000 people in 18 countries. Together, we distributed thermal clothing to families in Albania and Bangladesh. We renovated and winter proofed houses in Chechnya, and distributed tents in Nepal. We delivered food to hungry communities in Kosova and North Macedonia.
This year, more is needed – so we are expanding our programme to reach families in crisis in 19 countries.With your support, we can help more people than ever to survive winter.
This winter, be a lifeline for these families, by helping them to get through winter without worrying about how to feed their children and keeping them warm. By donating to Islamic Relief’s Winter Appeal, you can help save lives.
Please help vulnerable families survive this season: give generously to our Winter Appeal.
