Story

I have challenged myself to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world standing at just under 20,000 ft above sea level, in honour of my beloved Father, who returned to his lord on 29.07.20. (May Allah SWT have mercy upon him).

My father was diagnosed with heart failure in late 2015. In 2016 my father's heart was only operating at 25%, this dropped to 10% in 2017. The doctors informed me that my father had less than a year to live.

Support me whilst I embark on the ultimate test of resilience and endurance testing my mind and body to the limit of what is possible in remembrance of my father. 

All money raised will go towards Human Appeal's ‘World in Crisis’ appeal. This responsive Global Emergency Appeal ensures funds go to the most vulnerable families in Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq and Bangladesh.

This winter give the gift of warmth to the people of Rohingya, Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan and the street children in Bangladesh.  DON’T let them FREEZE, ACT NOW!

This winter as temperatures plummet, millions of displaced people in refugee camps and conflict zones will have  to battle the cold weather conditions.  Already struck with homelessness, hunger and unsafe living conditions they are at high risk of a deadly virus, COVID-19. 

For children living and working on the streets of Dhaka, winter is a particularly challenging time.  On the streets, the children are homeless, ill-fed, ill-clothed and devoid of parental care.  Barefoot and typically with just one thin layer of clothing to their name, a cold winter’s night is a considerable hardship and increases the risk of children falling into unsafe practices as a means of generating an income or to stay warm, making them extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

Rohingya Refugees - £70 will provide a vulnerable Rohingya refugee family with an Emergency Winter Kit, containing nutritious food, a warm winter blanket, and covid-19 safety items, including face masks, hand sanitisers and washing detergent.

Gaza - £100 will provide a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Gaza with a Winter Kit containing warm winter clothing for their children, including jackets, socks, hats and scarves, woolly jumpers and pyjamas, helping them to survive winter.

Yemen - £220 will provide a Winter Kit to a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Yemen, containing warm clothes, blankets and mattresses for the whole family, helping them to survive winter.

Syria - £140 will provide an Emergency Winter Kit to a vulnerable Syrian family, containing warm blankets, sleeping mats and rugs, shelter reinforcement, fuel for heating, and soap, helping them to survive winter.

Bangladesh - £100 will provide Emergency Winter Kits to 5 vulnerable children living or working on the streets of Dhaka containing warm winter clothing, helping them to survive winter.

Iraq - £100 will provide a vulnerable family  (5-7 people) in Iraq with an Emergency Winter Kit containing warm blankets, mattresses, stoves for heating, jerry cans for fuel, and handwashing soap, helping them to survive winter.

Pakistan - £80 will provide an Emergency Winter Kit to a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Pakistan, containing warm winter clothes, like socks, gloves, jackets, shawls and blankets, helping them to survive winter.

Give the gift of warmth - Act now and help save lives and shield the dignity of vulnerable families and children.
