Why Food?

Every Muslim who fasts knows the discomfort of hunger. Your mind gets cloudy, your body weak, and a workday, without energy, feels unbearable. But that’s nothing compared to actual starvation and living with hunger and malnutrition every single day. A balanced diet ensures that children grow healthy and have strong immune systems. Proper nutrition means pregnant mothers don’t run the risk of dying during childbirth, or losing their babies.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Muslim Global Relief to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Muslim Global Relief we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Muslim Global Relief to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Muslim Global Relief will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Muslim Global Relief receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

How it Works
MGR works to reach people tackling hunger all year round, but in the month of Ramadan and during Eid ul-Adha, we’re able to boost our efforts. Last Ramadan, your donations enabled us to feed 12,000 people across Asia, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. From providing warm iftar meals to 500 Palestinian’s a day in Gaza; to distributing food packs to 5000 people in three Gambian villages – your support made a huge difference.

£6: This can give one person two warm meals a day. During the month of Ramadan, £6 is also the cost providing a suhoor/sehri and iftaar meal to one fasting person, for one day. Donating two meals makes a world of difference to someone who faces hunger every day. It means one child won’t have to go to bed hungry tonight; or that one expecting mother can eat her fill for two.

The Food Issue
Hunger kills. Every day, 8,500 children die of poor nutrition and hunger related diseases. They die quietly before they’ve had a chance to live. 98% of the world’s undernourished people live in developing countries. Hunger is most prevalent across Asia, and then Sub-Saharan Africa. Out of those affected worse by hunger are women and children. Thousands of pregnant women in the developing world die during childbirth for lack of proper nutrition and maternal care. Most infants are born underweight.

World hunger is a cause of social inequality, which means that while some enjoy surplus wealth and resources, others are being crushed by a lack of the most basic human needs. The Global Food Crisis isn’t something we can solve over night. But we can work to ensure less people go hungry.

What We Do
We provide food aid in villages across two continents. We provide food for people in communities crippled by poverty, conflict or natural disasters. We tackle hunger and malnutrition in a variety of ways.

We supply food parcels
MGR food packs include staple foods and basic necessities like wheat grain, rice, pulses, oil and sugar. The contents of each pack will vary according to region as well as the context in which they are being distributed. Food packs are also provided in times of emergency: during a conflict or following a natural disaster. They are a life-line for families who have been misplaced or have little to get by on.

We distribute food seasonally
Our work to provide food for people tackling hunger continues throughout the year. But seasonally, we’re able to boost our efforts. During the month of Ramadan, we provide food parcels, warm meals and bottled water for fasting Muslims in developing countries.

We distribute Qurbani meat
Qurbani distribution is another one of our seasonal projects. Every year, MGR performs Qurbani on behalf of donors during Eid ul-Adha. The sacrificial meat is distributed among people in poor villages around the world. Often, Eid ul-Adha is the only time of year most of these people are able to eat meat.

We distribute Aqiqah meat
In the Islamic tradition, Aqiqah is an animal sacrifice performed after the birth of a child. Similar to Qurbani, MGR carries out Aqiqah on behalf of donors at any time during the year. The sacrificial meat is distributed among poor families in remote villages for whom meat is a rare luxury.

We give fruit trees and crops
We gift and plant fruit trees in poor villages to support families. Once a fruit tree has reached maturity, it can become a life-long source of food for a poor family. It can also serve as a source of income. Families can sell or trade the surplus fruit and fruit products to buy other foods and needful items. Find Out More
