The Spirit of Ramadan: More Than Fasting
Ramadan is a time of reflection, gratitude, and generosity. While millions fast from dawn to dusk, the true essence of this holy month lies in its power to unite communities, uplift the vulnerable, and inspire lasting change.
For families struggling in poverty, conflict zones, or displacement, Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food—it’s about survival.
The Harsh Reality for Many This Ramadan
- 1 in 5 Muslims worldwide live below the poverty line (World Bank)
- Over 150 million people in Muslim-majority countries face hunger daily (WFP)
- 3 million children in war zones will break their fasts without adequate food
This Ramadan, your generosity can rewrite their story.
