For many people in the communities we serve, Umrah is a lifelong dream that poverty puts out of reach. An Umrah package covers flights, accommodation, transport and guidance for one person, travelling with an experienced group.
Recipients are nominated by local partners and imams, with priority for those who have served their communities or endured hardship. This page shows sample content while HMD finalises the programme details.
“I prayed for everyone who made it possible, by name, at the Kaaba.”
Why we do it
“From one Umrah to the next is an expiation for what is between them.”
Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim
