In impoverished countries including Bangladesh, Somalia and Pakistan, deep-rooted poverty affecting large proportions of the population means that millions are food insecure, unsure where their next meal is coming from. Many of the country’s poorer people engage in daily wage labour which offers no security and was drastically impacted by Covid-19 and lockdowns as they were unable to work. Millions were facing their most darkest days in the face of hunger and starvation, making impossible decisions about whether to eat, be clothed, or be clean. Now, as the world is slowly emerging from the pandemic, many communities are facing huge rises in the cost of food and living, with many businesses also having closed and so unemployment also rising.
Millions are living without food, and this Ramadan will struggle to find food to eat for iftar and suhoor. Join us to feed the hungry.
