The Holy Quran: 76:8-9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to your generous donations, our food hampers have already made it’s way to Yemen and cities across Iraq, including Baghdad, Balad, Kirkuk, Najaf and Karbala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holy month of Ramadan is a blessing, it the month of purity and a month of giving to charity. In 2021, we live in a world of abundance, yet hunger is still one of the biggest problems that we as a global community face. No one\u00a0should have to worry about when their next meal is coming, but millions do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunger is a vicious cycle, when a family struggles with chronic hunger, it prevents them from being able to work, go to school, and improve their lives. Not only does this make this life very hard, but those suffering from chronic hunger are often overwhelmed by illnesses, developmental disabilities, and low productivity. Ramadan is an opportunity for true, meaningful change. As God tests our obedience and patience, He also gives us the chance to transform our lives through charity. Every good deed in this month is multiplied and rewarded many times over. This Ramadan, let\u2019s be the change the world needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Noor Orphans Fund, we work to reach those in need by tackling hunger year-round by providing help and support to orphans and widows living in Yemen and Iraq. According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UNICEF, and the World Food Programme (WFP), 40% of\u00a0Yemen’s population was expected to suffer from acute food insecurity because of the war, flood, coronavirus, and locust swarms, by the end of 2020.\u00a0[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Iraq, while the\u00a0overall situation has been improving\u00a0since the defeat of (ISIL) at the end of 2017, significant challenges remain \u2013 including economic instability and persistent low standards of living.\u00a0The humanitarian situation is still precarious in many of the conflict-affected areas. The poverty rate stands at 22.5 percent, as Iraq ranks 120 of 189 countries in the 2019 Human Development Index.[2]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Our charity focuses on helping orphans and widows, who are in some of the most vulnerable groups. Your donations can alleviate the suffering of those who struggle every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Holy Prophet (pbuh) has said, ‘If the servant was to fathom the worth of Ramadan, he would wish that Ramadan lasted the whole year.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bihar Al-Anwar, P. 346, No. 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t waste this precious opportunity to make a change to the lives of those struggling in Yemen and Iraq. Make this month count by helping us provide iftar hampers to those who have endured unimaginable hardship. From as little as \u00a315 you can relieve hunger this Ramadan and feed a family, ensuring they receive the essential nutrients they desperately need.
