Food & Medical aid for Afghanistan

I am proud to be participating in UWT's 'Food and Medical Aid Campaign for Afghanistan' by joining a group of cyclists to embark on a 3-day journey covering 191 miles across England and France. Our aim is to contribute to this noble cause and provide necessary aid to those in need.

Afghanistan is facing another manufactured crisis. Crippling sanctions and the freezing of the country’s assets have left millions here facing hunger.

At least a million children could starve over the coming months. They are being denied the right to live only because they wish to live as an independent nation.

A broken healthcare system is exacerbating Afghanistan’s poverty crisis. Forty years of war and neglect means, across the country, hospitals lack proper equipment and supplies, staff remain unpaid, and specialist practitioners continue to be unavailable.

The country has one of the world’s highest maternal and child mortality rates. In rural areas, sick patients must travel huge distances to cities just to seek routine treatment. And even then, the care they receive often isn’t adequate.

‘…and whoever saves the life of a person is as if he has saved the life of the whole of humankind.’ (5:32)

The balance of wealth and justice remains absent in the world today. For at least three quarters of the world’s population, poverty is a fact of life. Hunger, sickness, homelessness and more cast a heavy shadow over their lives as they struggle to survive with little or no support.

Ummah Welfare Trust formed as an NGO in 2001 with the goal of challenging this state of affairs. Inspired by the Islamic teachings of empathy and selflessness, the charity would strive to support and uplift the impoverished through the beautiful act of charity.
