Assalamu alaikum!

We've had a busy end to the year, with our annual winter distributions beginning, alhamdulilah! Your support will help provide winter blankets, food and fuel for warmth and cooking to those most in need during these cold months. Our teams will be on the ground in locations such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Kashmir and the UK.

The Open Kitchen in Hounslow also celebrated its 2nd anniversary - it's stayed open every single day since the 8th December 2018 and has provided 100,000 meals in that period. During the peak of the COVID pandemic, the Open Kitchen doubled its monthly meals to 6000. We thank you for your immense support and pray Allah swt accepts the efforts of our donors, volunteers and staff.

We've also had images from our country offices around the world, updating us on all your tube wells they're building, food distributions, COVID awareness workshops & so much more. Let's take a look:

Your aid is bringing joy and hope!
Alhamdulilah our events coordinators and volunteers in London distributed 22 sleeping bags and 40 COVID 19 kits to those on the streets over the weekend. This will help keep rough sleepers warm during these harsh winter months, and also safe,

The hygiene kits include hand sanitiser, masks, alcohol wipes, and gloves - which will also keep them safe!
We'll be having many, many more distributions at home and globally and only with your mercy can we continue helping those most in need this winter!

The Guardian this week reported that, 'an estimated 2 million families, including a million children, likely to struggle to afford to feed themselves, stay warm, or keep clean as the recession deepens'.

Now is the time to come together and open our hearts for others.
Alhamdulillah, this week we celebrated the two-year anniversary of The Open Kitchen! We opened our community kitchen in Hounslow back in December 2018. Ma sha' Allah, with your support, it has now been open every single day for the last two years, serving 100,000 meals so far!

The gift of water saves lives, which is a hugely rewardable action. Allah says in the Qur鈥檃n, 鈥楢nd whoever saves one [a life] - it is as if he had saved all of mankind鈥.
