Esa, Zayd and Nusayba's Fight Against Famine
About our Purpose
This Ramadan, Esa, Zayd, and Nusayba will take part in the Kids Fight Famine challenge for Islamic Relief Canada's Ramadan Food Pack program to help fight hunger across the globe.
Esa has pledged to fasting all 30 days and attend taraweeh prayers on non-school nights. Zayd has pledged to fast a few full days and some half days. Nusayba has pledged to have super good behaviour during this Ramadan. We will be collecting donations for over 12 countries across the world.
A little about us: Our names are Esa, Zayd and Nusayba Khan. We are 11, 7, and 4 years old. We love to be outdoors, biking, hiking, and playing sports like hockey, ballet, and basketball. We enjoy reading books and drawing. We also love to play video games. This is our third year doing this campaign, Kids Fight Famine. In our first year with Islamic Relief we raised $8400! the year after that almost $9000. This year we started late so we hope we can raise at least $5000, but it would be really awesome if we beat our last year's record.
Please help us with any amount possible. We hope to help as many people as we can.
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.
