Help Us Feed 10,000 People This Ramadan!

My name is Bashir Isa Dodo, and I am the Hajiya Yaya Charity Foundation chairman.

Building on last year's success (see our transparency message at https://tinyurl.com/HYCFRAMADAN2024UPDATE) and the increased inflation in Nigeria, Hajiya Charity Foundation is launching a special Ramadan feeding program to provide cooked meals for those in need. Our goal is to feed a minimum of 10,000 people, ensuring they have a nutritious meal to break their fast. We need your support to make this possible!

Why This Cause Matters

Ramadan is a time of reflection, compassion, and community. By supporting our feeding program, you are not only providing essential nourishment but also spreading joy and hope during this blessed month.

The Power of Giving in Ramadan and Prophetic Narrations on Feeding the Needy

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the immense rewards of feeding others, especially during Ramadan. He said:

“Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell), even if it be only with half a date fruit (given in charity).” [Sahih al-Bukhari 1413]

“The best of you are those who feed others.” [Musnad Aḥmad 3926]

“Whoever gives iftar to a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward.” [Sunan at-Tirmidhi 807 and Ibn Maajah 1746]
