This Ramadan, we will take part in the Kids Fight Famine Challenge with Islamic Relief Canada to support the Islamic Relief Ramadan Food Packs Program, in over 12 countries!
About our Purpose
Tayba Elementary School is a charitable not-for-profit, private full-time Islamic School, for grades JK-Grade 8, located in Waterloo, Ontario.
The name “Tayba”, was inspired by the name of the city where the Prophet PBUH raised his companions and taught them Iman, Quran and the true morals of Islam. It was where the seed of Islam was planted and where it thrived to be the great religion we know it to be.
Part of that is giving back to the community, especially during the month of Ramadan - a month of guidance and spiritual reconnection.
Tayba will be partaking in many different Ramadan activities to raise money to support Islamic Relief's work.
Islamic Relief's Food Programs
We are helping to feed nearly 900,000 people each year across the world in countries, including Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and Palestine.
We work to provide sustainable long-term food solutions for communities in need, as well as offering short-term lifesaving interventions in response to global emergencies.
We distribute seeds and train locals to improve agricultural production, we introduce small-scale fish farming to enable families to improve their diet and increase their income and we establish community-run food banks to help as many people as possible.
With additional school gardens to help children in local communities and irrigation schemes to increase agricultural productivity, we’re enabling communities to grow more food. What’s more, when war, conflict and natural disaster-hits, we’re straight on the ground to support communities in need.
We set up and support emergency feeding centres to support severely malnourished children, provide emergency food packs and food vouchers to help feed a family and individuals in crisis and also distribute fresh meat during Ramadan and Qurbani to offer a vital protein source for malnourished families.
By supporting our Islamic Relief, you’ll be helping to feed families in times of emergency and to fight food poverty, to ensure hunger no more for communities over the long-term. By providing food support, you’ll be crucially saving lives.
