“He is not a believer who eats his full and leaves his neighbour hungry.”

(Hadith)

• 795 million people, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2014-2016
• Did you know a child dies every five seconds from hunger-related causes?
• 10 million children under the age of five die every year, mostly from preventable illnesses.

An important part of our work at SMT is food distribution to impoverished communities across the globe. It is a well established fact that in a time of crisis such as war and famine this saves lives. During the most important month of the Islamic calendar; the period known as Ramadhan when fasting is obligatory during the entire month; SMT has been working on behalf of the British Muslim community to bring happiness and joy to poor and needy people across the world. Imagine spending the whole day fasting and then ending with no food in your kitchen to open your fast? Imagine having to tell your children that they must go without a full meal? This is the situation thousands face around the world every day.

All year around and especially in the month of Ramadhan each year SMT’s Food Aid Programme provides food packages for the poor and needy in Pakistan, Kashmir, Syria, Palestine, Mali, Uganda, Tanzania, Burkina Faso and other parts of Africa. Each pack consists of rice, flour, sugar, oil, lentils and dates.
