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.
