Uyghurs are amongst the most forgotten communities in the world. Droplets of Mercy is one of the leading charity supporting Uyghur refugees, and it is only possible with your continued support.
This project is supported by Imam Omar Suleiman and many other scholars. It is being conducted in collaboration with Droplets of Mercy, Blue Crescent Humanitarian Organization and Satuq Bughrakhan Foundation for Science and Civilization.
UPDATE
Your donations have made a tangible difference. We saw Uyghur children thriving in school and enjoying every bit of their education, families sharing Iftar meals that we were able to cook a hearty meal for them, and lastly we were able to see widowed women sustaining their livelihoods. While progress is evident, more support is needed. Let's continue standing with the Uyghur community. Jazakallah Khair for your unwavering support. More details in the update section.
ZAKAT VERIFIED
Free Uyghur Now and Droplets of Mercy is on a mission to empower an Uyghur Orphan in Turkiye who has recently been accepted to a University in Malaysia but is struggling to make ends meet. Before Free Uyghur Now heard of this concern, she has been forced to put their dreams on hold because of a lack of funds. Education must be a priority for the growth of our society and by empowering Uyghur youth we are not only building a stronger future for the individual, but we are strengthening a community. With the help of Droplets of Mercy, join us today in making a positive impact on the Uyghur diaspora.
THE UYGHUR COMMUNITY IN TURKIYE
There are an estimated 60,000-100,000 Uyghurs settled throughout Turkiye. They have all escaped extreme religious and cultural persecution to seek refuge. The vast majority are women and children without husbands or fathers, without stable income, living below the poverty line and in dire need of the most basic resources. This is the harrowing reality for over a million Uyghur men, women, and children. Displaced from their homes, torn from their families, with many children forced into boarding schools to erase their Uyghur Muslim identity. Fathers disappear, leaving behind families clinging to hope.
FOOD DISTRIBUTION
Droplets of Mercy collaborates with Blue Crescent (a local NGO in Istanbul) to give out food kits to Uyghur widows on an ongoing basis. We are the largest supporter of the Uyghur community in Istanbul.
In 2023 alone, our team visited the Uyghur refugees twice, witnessing firsthand the critical need for support. Our vision? To purchase a building that will serve as a lifeline for the Uyghur community:
▶️ Food Bank to nourish bodies and souls.
▶️ A Training Facility where Uyghur widows can learn sewing and more, crafting a new beginning.
▶️ An Education Centre for Uyghur children, a sanctuary of learning and hope
Thanks to your generosity, we've already allocated an impressive $1.5 million towards this project. But our story isn't finished. We need your help to secure the remaining funds to bring this vision to life, to give the Uyghur community a place where they can thrive, not just survive. Imagine being part of a story where you're the hero. Your donation can write a future filled with hope for the Uyghur refugees. Let's not allow their stories to end in despair. Together, we can offer a new chapter, one of hope, resilience, and renewed life.
Join us in this mission. Your support can turn the tide for the Uyghur refugees in Turkiye. Let's make this vision a reality. Donate today.

Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of Uyghur orphans, adults, and families seeking a beacon of hope and a path to self-reliance.
