How your donation reaches them

  1. Assessment

    Field teams survey households and record who needs support most.

  2. Local purchase

    Food is bought in local markets at fair prices.

  3. Distribution

    Parcels are delivered household by household, with photos recorded.

  4. Follow-up

    Families are revisited so support continues while it is needed.

Food prices rise fastest for those with the least. Our field teams keep a rolling assessment of households in each community we serve, prioritising widows, the elderly and families with disabled members.

Food is bought locally wherever possible, supporting the same markets the families rely on, and every distribution is photographed and recorded.

“The parcel arrived the week we had nothing left. We ate properly for the first time in a month.”
A widow, Farafenni, The Gambia

Why we do it

“They give food, out of love for Him, to the needy, the orphan and the captive.”

Quran 76:8
