The war and massacres continue in Gaza. Since October 7th, conditions have worsened with each passing day. The number of martyrs has exceeded 40,000, with thousands injured and missing. Israel has targeted all civilian areas, leaving no safe place for Palestinians to seek refuge. They bombed tents set up in areas designated as safe, burning people alive, and rained bombs on schools where displaced people had taken shelter. The attacks are still ongoing. 

The food and water crisis in the region has reached critical levels. Children are walking miles to find clean water, and if they manage to find it, they have to carry heavy water containers back to where they live. Access to basic necessities, especially food, has become extremely difficult due to the challenges faced by aid trucks trying to enter the region.

As Need Charity, we have been working from the very first day to support the people of Gaza through various campaigns, such as water distribution and hot meal distribution. With your donations, we reach out to families in the region, showing them that they are not alone, and ensuring they have a hot meal. We invite you to contribute to this good cause and make donations for ongoing needs like hot meals. 

Gaza has been suffering from a severe water crisis due to prolonged conflicts and blockades over the years. Since the war that began on October 7, access to clean water has become increasingly difficult for hundreds of thousands of people living in Gaza. The limited availability of potable water sources and the destruction or contamination of existing sources have become life-threatening issues for the people of Gaza. Due to the water shortage, hygiene problems are escalating, and diseases are spreading.

Women and children have to walk several kilometers to water sources, wait in line to collect water, and then carry it back several kilometers every day.

Our Water Tank Campaign as Need Charity

As Need Charity, we are launching a water tank campaign to alleviate the water crisis in Gaza to some extent. Through this campaign, we aim to provide water to families and communities suffering from water shortages in Gaza. By installing water tanks, we will help our brothers and sisters in Gaza access clean water more easily.

Let us not forget that one of the best ways to show gratitude for the blessings Allah has given us is to share those blessings with others. By providing water to our brothers and sisters in Gaza, we can touch their lives and earn the pleasure of our Lord. Let us come together and support this campaign to meet the water needs of our brothers and sisters in Gaza and bring smiles to their faces.

In recent weeks, there have been some heavy and unexpected rains in Afghanistan despite the season. The heavy rains have triggered flash floods, which caused the destruction of homes, buildings, and agricultural lands. The aftermath of these natural disaster has left many families homeless, vulnerable, and some children orphans like there wasn’t already so many in the country. All of them need urgent assistance. 

As the floodwaters are gone, the true extent of the damage becomes increasingly obvious. Families have been displaced, crops have been destroyed, and essential services have been disrupted. Many people are dragged out from the rumbles, some children were saved from the mud that was about to swallow them. 

In times of crisis, it is essential for us to come together and extend a helping hand to those in need. As NEED Charity, we try to help the Ummah as much as we can during challenging times. We recognize the urgency of the situation and are committed to providing immediate relief to the flood victims in Afghanistan. Our dedicated team will be on the ground, distributing hot meals, bread, and water to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the floods.

The provision of these basic necessities is a small yet crucial step towards rebuilding the lives of the affected people. Through our collective efforts, we aspire to bring hope even if it’s little and comfort to those who have lost so much from their hard-earned houses and loved-ones.

As the Eid Al Adha approaches, we, as NEED Charity, are launching the Qurbani Appeal to be the bridge between you and the needy. This year, we are going to do our projects in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Uganda, Syria, and Yemen. Furthermore, we are glad to inform you that two of our teams will travel to Afghanistan and Uganda to see and supervise the sacrifices, ensuring that your contributions reach the neediest people directly.

This is a great opportunity to reach out and bring joy to the needy communities struggling with poverty, conflict, and displacement. Thanks to your generosity, we will be providing nutritious meals and a light of hope to those who need the most. By only contributing $120 per share in Asia and Africa, or $350 per share in Syria and $160 per share in Yemen, you can make a significant impact in the lives of countless individuals during this blessed time.

When you choose to trust us, you can be sure that your donation will be conveyed efficiently and effectively. As a non-profit organization, we prioritize transparency, accountability, and to reach the right people. With our 10 years of experience, we are ready to convey your amanah.

May Allah allow us all to reach and benefit from the blessed days of Eid al Adha, and to do our part properly.

As Muslims around the world, we have spent a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, we bid farewell to Ramadan with a mix of gratitude and nostalgia. Throughout the month, we tried to strengthen our connection with Allah. In the nights, we woke up to eat Suhoor, nourishing our bodies for the long day ahead. Throughout the day, we thought and appreciate the blessings that we often take for granted. In the evenings, we gathered in mosques for Taraweeh prayers, recite the Quran and attended dawah lessons.

In Ramadan, we always feel very generous. Most of us give charity constantly, to support the less fortunate, and extended a helping hand to those in need. Our hearts filled with compassion and empathy, engaging in acts of kindness and brotherhood. Each day passed with a growing hope, drawing us closer to the joyous celebration of Eid.

However, while we wait for the Eid, it was always impossible to ignore the heartbreaking reality that our brothers and sisters in Gaza have been experiencing for months. As we prepared for a joyous Eid, they were mourning. Their homes were reduced to rubble, their loved ones taken away by unfathomable violence. The echoes of bombs drowned out the sound of their prayers, and their joy was clouded by despair.

While we exchanged gifts and gathered with our families to feast on delicious meals, the people of Gaza sought refuge and solace in makeshift shelters, their minds filled with anguish and their hearts heavy with grief. The usual celebrations, the excitement, and the laughter that filled the air in previous Eids were replaced with mourning and sorrow.

As we raised our hands in prayer during the blessed time, we always remembered the people of Gaza. We always make dua to Allah (swt) to ease their suffering, to bring peace upon their lands, and to grant them the strength and resilience they need to rebuild their lives. May our hearts remain open, and our commitment to aiding those in need only grow stronger.

Alhamdulillah, Ramadan is almost here! Less than 25 days left until the first day of Ramadan. As we all know, Ramadan has a different spirit, and we really start to feel it when it comes. The days feel different, the prayers feel different, and the urge to increase all the ibadah hits even different.

As NEED Charity, we are almost ready to implement your dream projects. Our Ramadan kitchens in different countries are ready to cook and distribute delicious iftar meals and waiting for your support! Our teams are ready to find the owners of your zakat, and the needy people are looking forward for your support to reach them!

In this Ramadan, we will be doing our projects in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Uganda, Madagascar, Syria, and Yemen. Also, our plan is to reach as many people as possible in Gaza, as well. It’s a bit harder to do projects in Gaza but with Allah’s (swt) help, we believe that we will be able to take care of our brothers and sisters in Gaza!

So, in this Ramadan, NEED Charity will be working to reach the needy in many countries. We will be distributing delicious hot iftar meals, 100% of your zakat in cash form, food packs and also we will implement your dream projects such as masjids, schools, water wells and whatever you have in your mind.

Don’t forget to follow us on our social media accounts and don’t hesitate to reach us for any questions on your mind. May Allah (swt) make this Ramadan better than the ones we had spent before. May Allah give barakah to all our works and ibadah, and accept from all of us.

In the midst of the ongoing conflict and harsh winter conditions in Gaza, Need Charity has been blessed with a beautiful step forward to provide essential warmth to those in need. As part of our humanitarian efforts, we have distributed blankets to individuals and families affected by the war and displacement.

Gaza has long been embroiled in conflict, facing the brunt of violence, displacement, and economic instability. The region has witnessed the devastations of g*nocide and the enduring consequences of prolonged t*rrorism. Amidst such turmoil, the arrival of winter exacerbates the challenges faced by the residents, particularly those living in tent camps and makeshift shelters.

Understanding the urgent need for warmth and comfort, Need Charity opened a blanket distribution campaign to provide relief to the people of Gaza. Blankets serve as a lifeline during the cold winter months, offering protection against the harsh weather conditions and helping to alleviate the suffering, although it is never enough.

With your generous support, as Need Charity, we were able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families in Gaza. Your contributions have helped us provide the blankets and comfort to the families. Together, we are trying to cover up one of the difficulties they are facing.

As NEED Charity, we were able to distribute blankets and we couldn’t miss the chance. So, we acted as quick as possible and thanks to your support, alhamdulillah we were able to provide 100 blankets to families. And we will continue to support the people of Gaza as much as we can, as Allah (swt) allows us, until Palestine is free inshaAllah. May Allah allow us all to see the end of the t*rrorsit state and the freedom of Palestine 🇵🇸

“Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record1 since the day He created the heavens and the earth—of which four are sacred. That is the Right Way. So do not wrong one another during these months. And fight the polytheists together as they fight together against you. And know that Allah is with those mindful ˹of Him˺.”

(Surah At-Tawbah,36)

As Allah says in the Holy Quran, there are 4 sacred months which means haram. These are Dhul – Qa’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Al-Muharram and Rajab. Since the beginning of time, it has been forbidden to fight in these months. The reason for this was to protect the pilgrims who are going to Makkah in Hajj season and in the Umrah season, before Ramadan.

Rasoolullah (saw) said: “Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha’ban is my month and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah.” (Suyuti) Can you imagine how honored you are that Allah (swt) accepted you to His month as a Muslim to benefit from it immensely.

The most important event to take place in this month is Al-Isra’ wal-Miraj! Rasoolullah (saw) was ascended to heavens and 5 daily prayers become fardh for all the Muslims.

As NEED Charity, for the 1^st day of this sacred month of Rajab, which was on 12^th of January, we opened a Masjid appeal. There are hundreds of unfinished masjids in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Local people gather and start to build these masjids, but they cannot finish since they cannot find enough funds. That’s where we, NEED Charity, step in to complete these masjids. We wanted open this appeal because if we start on time, this masjid will be opened in Ramadan, inshaAllah.

May Allah allow and help us to spend this month in the most beneficial way possible. Let’s remember the dua Rasoolullah (saw) made during this month: “O Allah, bless us in Rajab and Shaban and allow us to reach Ramadan.”

As NEED Charity, it’s been quite a difficult year for us. 2023 was the year of catastrophes; at the beginning of the year there was an earthquake in Türkiye and Syria unfortunately. It was a really big disaster and we had to move quickly. We gathered a team of 9 people and hit the road in 2 days to Hatay. We distributed many aids including hot meals, food boxes, heaters, coal and many more. We stayed there for a couple of days and distributed your amanah to the needy people. Also, our team in Syria distributed many aids and we started a campaign for 100 houses in Syria, alhamdulillah!

 And there was another earthquake in Afghanistan, unfortunately. It destroyed many homes and killed many people. May Allah have mercy on them. We also distributed hot meals, zakat, blankets, and many more to those people as well.

And Gaza, the bleeding wound of the Ummah! We cannot say enough about Gaza and our efforts are always not enough, but may Allah give barakah to all organizations’ work. We have been distributing hot meals in Gaza from the beginning of the resistance, alhamdulillah. We have been distributing not only hot meals but also food packs, zakat in cash form, medical supplies and more as much as we can. However, the sources are limited and it got harder and harder to distribute, but then Allah always opened another window for us and we always conveyed the amanah!

Also, there were 2 ships to go to Gaza from Türkiye, in the protection and control of Turkish government. We had to take the chance to send whatever we can. As NEED Charity, In the first ship we have sent 500 ready-to-eat food packs, and in the second ship we have sent 15 tons of flour with your support, alhamdulillah!

Other than all these urgent needs, we have opened many water wells and madrasah, we have slaughtered hundreds of qurbani both in Eid al Adha and as sadaqah and aqiqah qurbanis. We make hamd to Allah (swt) for allowing us to help the Ummah and we thank you dear NEED Charity donors for always trusting and supporting us!
