Help Burmese Refugees:

Burmese refugees, particularly the Rohingya minority, urgently need your Zakat. Termed ‘boat people’ by the global media, they have been central to a migration crisis since early 2015, facing persecution for their Muslim faith.

Fleeing to Southeast Asia in tens of thousands, many have become forgotten, living in poverty within refugee camps. Some, at the mercy of human traffickers, end up abandoned at sea. Those who survive face rejection by unsympathetic nations, drifting aimlessly on the open seas in a daily battle for survival.

Donations for Burmese refugees are crucial, with over 25,000 refugees leaving Burma in the first three months of the previous year. The United Nations deems them the most persecuted globally, even in their own country. Oppressed for their faith, many surrendered their savings to unscrupulous traffickers, promised safe passage but met with terror instead.

Refugees in small boats sought safety in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, but were not always welcomed. The world watched in horror as some countries pushed abandoned boats further out to sea, seemingly indifferent to the fate of those on board.

Your Zakat Donation Will Save Lives:

For those reaching dry land, the struggle continues in neighboring refugee camps, where poverty, hunger, disease, and ill health are constant threats. Your Zakat payment, an annual obligation under Islamic law, can make a significant impact through Ummah Relief International. Even a small contribution can go a long way in preserving lives and offering a chance for a future free from poverty.

Sadaqah Donations Make A Real Difference:

If your Zakat is committed elsewhere, consider a Sadaqah donation through Ummah Relief International to help Burmese refugees. Every donation, regardless of size, is utilized to alleviate suffering for those in the most desperate need. Your support can make a real difference in their lives.
