Ramadan Fundraiser - WAVE

Next month is Ramadan, the most sacred month for Muslims around the world, including many of the community we serve at Wave. Ramadan is a 30-day period of fasting, one of the main pillars of Islam, whereby Muslims abstain from all food and drink every day from dawn until sunset.

Ramadan is much more than fasting and is a time of self-reflection, patience, compassion, community, and gathering. It is when everyone comes together to share meals and prayers.

Each day begins with a meal before dawn called Suhur. After sunset, the fast is typically broken with dates, water, and a meal called Iftar. We aim to raise €1000 to purchase costly ingredients such as dates, yoghurt drinks, meat and chicken. Offering meat is very much appreciated at this time but prices have soared recently. With the funds raised, we plan to cook special meals, soups and desserts with our community for Iftar and provide extra food for Suhur throughout the month of Ramadan. This year is significantly important as It is the first time since 2019 that we can host people indoors and celebrate communally at our centre!

This is where we ask for your help. Please consider donating to help us reach our goal and ensure that we can provide special meals every day of Ramadan. Any donation, regardless of size, will support our community and people-on-the-move in Thessaloniki.

Thank you from all at Wave!
