Ramadan
Food Appeal: Helping Families Break Their Fast
This Ramadan, thousands of families in Gaza, Yemen, and Pakistan are fasting without knowing what they’ll eat at sunset.
At Akram Aid, we’re working to ensure they don’t face it alone. Through our Ramadan Food Appeal, we’re delivering food packs and iftar meals to families in crisis with a 100% Donation Policy so every penny you give goes directly to the cause. You can be the reason a mother smiles when her children are fed. The reason a fasting person says Alhamdulillah before their meal.
How Can I
Help Families this Ramadan?
It only takes one sincere act to bring comfort to your brother or sister during the entire month.
Sponsor a family for Ramadan
Help ensure they have enough food to get through the month of fasting.
Donate an iftar meal
Help serve warm meals to those who would otherwise break their fast with very little.
Give for those unable to fast
support families by covering missed fasts through food provision.
Whatever you give, give it with sincerity and trust that in this blessed month, Allah accepts every intention, multiplies every reward, and places barakah in every effort.
The Virtue
of Feeding Someone Who Is Fasting
“Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.”
— Tirmidhi
Feeding someone in Ramadan is more than a kind gesture. It’s a spiritual opportunity. A way to earn reward, relieve hardship, and show gratitude for what we’ve been given.
This simple act giving an iftar carries the weight of immense reward in the sight of Allah. Whether you feed one person or one hundred, the Prophet ﷺ promised that you share in their reward without reducing theirs in the slightest. It’s one of the most accessible ways to earn continuous blessings in this sacred month.
So give — not just from your wallet, but from your heart. And let every iftar you support be a du’a answered, a reward written, and a step closer to Jannah.
Who Are We
Supporting This Ramadan?
We’re reaching families who are:
Living in war zones and conflict-hit areas
Headed by widows or single mothers with no breadwinner
Struggling with chronic poverty or rising food costs
All distributions are carried out by trusted volunteers and partners on the ground — with care, discretion and dignity.
The Prophet ﷺ said
“You will not enter Paradise until you truly believe, and you will not truly believe until you love one another.” [Narrated by Muslim]
Gaza
Ramadan Food Appeal
In Gaza, poverty is no longer a number — it’s a daily reality for every family.
Gaza’s economy has dropped by 87% in just two years (Al-Jazeera)
2.3 million people now live below the poverty line
By mid-2026, 132,000+ children under 5 may suffer from acute malnutrition
This Ramadan, we’re working on the ground in Gaza to deliver food packs and iftar meals where they’re needed most. Your donation through the Ramadan Food Appeal can help families break their fast with dignity and warmth.
Yemen
Ramadan Food Appeal
Yemen’s crisis continues to deepen, year after year.
4.5 million people are currently displaced
Over 18.2 million need urgent food and protection
By early 2026, half the population will face severe hunger
This holy month, help us reach those who are clinging to hope. Your support means a warm iftar, a food pack, a sign that they haven’t been forgotten.
Pakistan
Ramadan Food Appeal
Poverty is rising fast in Pakistan — and families are feeling it where it hurts most: the dinner table.
13 million more people fell into poverty in 2023–24
82% of the population can’t afford a healthy diet
18% of children under 5 are affected by acute malnutrition (World Bank)
This Ramadan, let’s help them eat well, even if just for one night. A simple food pack, an iftar meal — it can mean everything.
