Islamic Relief UK
This Ramadan Islamic Relief UK is asking people if they can be 5.32: “Whosoever saves a life, saves the whole of mankind.” (Qur’an 5: 32), and help it save more lives than ever. The UK Government will also match £2m of the total raised in Islamic Relief UK’s Ramadan appeal, which will fund its work in Ethiopia addressing drought. The project will help keep livestock alive in times of drought & provide 3,000 pastoralists with ways to cope with drought using innovative insurance and technology.
