The Western University Muslim Students' Association has partnered with Penny Appeal Canada to raise funds for a worthy cause: providing life-saving, nutritious meals to impoverished families around the globe. 

What is the problem?

Around the world, over 820 million people don’t have enough to eat. Every 3.6 seconds, 1 of these people will die due to starvation. If something isn’t done, lives will be needlessly lost. This is where your small contributions can make a Big Difference.

What is Penny Appeal Canada doing about food insecurity?

The aim of the Feed Our World program is to fight hunger and malnutrition in crisis led countries, providing short term relief and long term interventions.  Feed Our World provides millions of life-saving, nutritious meals to impoverished families around the globe.

Throughout the month of Ramadan, we will be distributing food packs containing healthy items to eight countries that will allow them to ensure they have meals for the entire month.

Each food pack costs $65 will contain nutritional items such as: flour, dates, salt, sugar, ghee, lentils, oil, vegetables, herbs and more!

We will be distributing in: 

• Palestine
• Yemen
• Syria
• Pakistan
• Afghanistan

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr: A person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “What (sort of) deeds in or (what qualities of) Islam are good?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, “To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know.” Sahih Al-Bukhari
