Winter Aid

Help Vulnerable Families Survive Winter

Skyrocketing food and fuel prices have pushed more and more people into poverty. Research shows nearly half of the world lives in poverty – more than 800 million of which live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.25 a day. Winter’s plummeting temperatures exacerbate the situation, making the struggle for survival that much more difficult.

Islamic Relief is working to provide winter kits to over 200,000 people in need this year. Winter kits vary from country to country, and can include anything from food aid to household items such as blankets, kerosene heaters, and winter clothing. Join us and help save lives this winter.

Islamic Relief’s Dedication to Winter Aid

Despite winter lasting one season, Islamic Relief works year-round to build programming that helps vulnerable people cope with harsh winter weather.

• 14 countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chechnya, Jordan, Kosovo, Macedonia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey
• 16 projects: Global Winterization program (13), Winterization Assistance for Vulnerable Families in Afghanistan (WAVA), Emergency Response to Floods in Bosnia, and Emergency Response for Afghans in Kosovo
