<div>This <strong>Ramadan</strong>, we are raising funds for a small, grassroots charity doing life-saving work on the ground in Somaliland, where hunger, poverty, and drought continue to affect thousands of families every day.
</div>
<div>Risiq Wadaag Charity Organization (RWCO) is not a large international NGO. There are no salaries for organizers, and no layers of bureaucracy. This is a community-led charity where volunteers show up every single day to cook, serve, teach, and care for people who urgently need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every dollar goes directly to people in need.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During Ramadan, Risiq Wadaag Charity Organization (RWCO) provides iftar every single night for anyone who comes, no questions asked.
</div>
<div>300–400 people are fed every night
</div>
<div>30 nights of Ramadan
</div>
<div>Cost per person per iftar: approx. $4 CAD
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>YOUR IMPACT AT A GLANCE </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• $4 CAD (≈ $3 USD) feeds 1 person one iftar
</div>
<div>• $120 CAD (≈ $90 USD) feeds 1 person for all of Ramadan
</div>
<div>• $450 CAD (≈ $335 USD) feeds a whole family for the month
</div>
<div>• $750 CAD (≈ $555USD) - 250 people for one Iftar (average amount served per/day) 
</div>
<div>——————————————
</div>
<div>• $900 CAD (≈ $670 USD) feeds 10 people for all of Ramadan
</div>
<div>• $1350 CAD (≈ $1000 USD) feeds 15 people for all of Ramadan
</div>
<div>• $1800 CAD (≈ $1332 USD) feeds 10 people for all of Ramadan
</div>
<div>For many families, this iftar is the only guaranteed meal of the day.
</div>
<div>“Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs.”
</div>
<div>— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
</div>
<div>This is your opportunity to turn that hadith into real impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Feed a Family for an Entire Month</strong>
</div>
<div>Outside of daily iftar, RWCO also runs monthly food distributions for struggling families, providing essentials like:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Rice
</li>
<li>Flour
</li>
<li>Oil
</li>
<li>Potatoes
</li>
<li>Canned goods
</li>
</ul>
<div><strong>It costs only:</strong>
</div>
<div>~$135 CAD (≈ $100 USD)
</div>
<div><strong>to feed an entire family for a full month</strong>
</div>
<div>That means your donation doesn’t just help, it completely sustains a household.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Somaliland Needs This Now</strong>
</div>
<div>Somaliland continues to face:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Severe drought
</li>
<li>High food insecurity
</li>
<li>Limited access to healthcare
</li>
<li>Widespread poverty in rural and displaced communities
</li>
</ul>
<div>Many parents are forced to choose between feeding their children or sending them to school. Many elderly people and orphans have no safety net at all.
</div>
<div>RWCO exists to fill that gap, immediately and directly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>More Than Food: Community, Dignity &amp; Hope</strong>
</div>
<div>RWCO also supports:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Free education for orphaned and underprivileged children
</li>
<li>Adult literacy and vocational programs
</li>
<li>Public health and water distribution
</li>
<li>Eid and winter clothing for orphans and poor children
</li>
</ul>
<div>They even run a free school, where:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Children study in the morning
</li>
<li>Women receive free education in the afternoon
</li>
</ul>
<div>No tuition. No fees. Just opportunity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Truly Grassroots Organization</strong>
</div>
<div>This campaign matters because:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Most organizers are 100% volunteers
</li>
<li>They donate their time, energy, and often their own money
</li>
<li>Only essential workers (like cooks and cleaners) are paid modest wages
</li>
<li>Funds are used immediately, not stored or delayed
</li>
</ul>
<div>When you donate, you’re not funding overhead, you’re funding tonight’s iftar, this month’s food basket, a child’s education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From Canada to Somaliland, With Trust</strong>
</div>
<div>We are a Canadian family raising funds for people we know, communities we’ve seen, and work we trust.
</div>
<div>This Ramadan, your sadaqah and zakat can:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Feed hundreds of people every single night
</li>
<li>Sustain families for an entire month
</li>
<li>Multiply your reward during the most blessed days of the year
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please Donate, Share &amp; Make This Ramadan Count</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign is also a form of sadaqah.
</div>
<div>Let’s make sure no one breaks their fast hungry this Ramadan.
</div>
<div>Thank you for giving.
</div>
<div>Thank you for caring.
</div>
<div>May your generosity be multiplied.
</div>
