One such family was Halimo, her elderly mother and her seven orphaned children. Halimo’s husband passed away four years ago, and while their living situation was good before then, now she struggles to provide for her children. Halimo makes around £2.50 a day selling charcoal in Mogadishu; however, this is not enough to put food on the table every day. This coupled with the ongoing drought and conflict in Somalia has made things extremely difficult for the family.
‘Were it not for this Ramadan project my children and I would have suffered a lot but now we are so happy with this great donation from our Muslim brothers and sisters for this great charity’
This year, your donations have meant that families in Somalia have each received 25KG of rice, 25KG of beans, 25KG of wheat flour, 10KG of sugar, 2 KG of dates and 3 litres of cooking oil, for the month of Ramadan. When Halimo received her parcel from Muslim Hands she almost cried with happiness. Prior to receiving this aid, she had nothing to support her children with and on the eve of Ramadan she did not know how they were going to survive the month.
