Winter Is Tough

Across the world, millions of people have to battle the elements just to survive. For those who have already lost their homes or families due to conflict or violence, or are struggling against illness, infirmity, poverty and adversity, winter is the time of year that they dread.

Impoverished communities already struggling for food security at other times of the year face even greater pressures during the winter months as a scarcity of food resources is compounded by harsh, environmental conditions which restrict their mobility and their ability to grow produce or provide livelihoods for their families.

Islamic Help teams are on the ground in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, providing as much as we can to help protect families from the winter cold. However, to do that we urgently need your support. A donation of £30 will help us reach people in need this winter with lifesaving food, clothing or fuel packs.

Refugees living in makeshift shelters or tents have little or no protection from the freezing temperatures and snow. Not only do they struggle for food, water, medicines and protection from the elements but they are at increased risk from illnesses and fatal diseases.
