Uplift Newcomers & Refugees

Your Zakat Helps Them Rebuild Their Lives

Meet the Noori Family
Arriving with only their backpacks and a few essentials, the Noori family left everything they knew to seek refuge and safety in Canada. This family of five shares a single room in a hotel, and despite government support, they barely have enough food to feed their family, with no access to halal options.
‍
Supporting Muslim refugees and newcomers is vital to building a community that cares for and uplifts one another. By providing food, rent assistance, and essentials, we can help them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

A simple "thank you" or prayer for you is not enough to express my gratitude. You relieved my hardship and brought joy to my heart and my children's hearts. May Allah bring joy to your hearts, ease your affairs, and grant you goodness in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah open doors for you as you have relieved our worries, O Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. You have proven that the world is still full of goodness, and all praise is due to Allah. My son and daughter pray for your well-being and peace of mind.

Our situation is about to get better as there is a new job I am getting ready for within the next couple of weeks. Your organization was of critical help at a very sensitive time in our lives due to the war in Palestine. Our lives are much better now and we feel we are going to be stable soon.
