Al-Hijra Academy's Gr. 3 Students Fight Famine Ramadan 2023
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
Through this challenge, we're encouraging kids & youth to fundraise to providing Food Packs this Ramadan throughout the Muslim world.
Al-Hijra Academy Kids believe that every child deserves to have enough food to eat and live a healthy life. Sadly, millions of people around the world don't have access to the food they need to survive. That's why they’re raising money for Islamic Relief Canada's Ramadan Food Pack program to help fight hunger across the globe.
By donating to their campaign, you'll be making a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling to put food on the table. Just $25 can provide a nutritious meal for a malnourished child, and $150 can feed an entire family for a month. Your donation will go directly to Islamic Relief Canada, who will use it to provide food packs to those who need it most.
Thank you for your support!
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.
