We give up food during Ramadan... Please GIVE FOOD

During the Holy Month we abstain from eating during daylight hours. Not having what we normally take for granted enables us to realise how blessed we are in our own lives and think of the less fortunate.

What if you had to fast 24 hours a day due to a lack of nourishing food?

Giving up our fast each evening is a welcome part and important part of each day, but here’s a fact that you won’t see in the news. Approximately 26,000 to 30,000 children under the age of 5 living in extreme poverty die each day.


Why should we accept this as an inevitability in our lives? 


Feeding the hungry and helping the poor is an integral part of MGR and along with our donors we work hard to uplift the poor as they struggle with poverty and hunger.
We hear their desperate cries and take swift action, bringing positive and lasting change to these communities.

MGR’s FeedMe project helps the poorest people to have at least one nourishing meal every day. We also provide families with wheat grain, pulses, lentils, ghee, sugar and oil to name a few. Throughout last year nearly 70,000 people were fed.

How you can help?

Iftari/Sehri project: Help hundreds of people everyday with their daily requirements of food and water to enable them to fast. Donate just £6.00 to give a hungry person a healthy and fulfilling meal.

Goats: Providing healthy, living goats to poor families in order to provide milk to drink and produce their own cheese - surplus milk and cheese can be sold for some income or exchanged for other edible items. Donate just £120.00 for one healthy goat to a poor family.

Chickens: Each chicken can lay around 5 eggs a day which not only provides families with protein in their diet, but allows the surplus to be sold to buy/exchange for other commodities. Donate £10.00 to provide 3 healthy chickens.

FOOD PARCEL Project: Food prices in developing countries have more than doubled, pushing millions more into poverty. More and more people now rely on food parcels for just the essentials like milk, bread and flour. £60.00 to provide a family with one month’s essential food rations.
