The splendid beauty of Tanzania makes it easy to forget that this East African nation is categorised as a least developed and low-income food deficit country with more than 40 percent of the population living in chronic food-deficit regions, where irregular rainfall causes recurring food shortages.

Poverty remains widespread in Tanzania, where more than 58 percent of the population lives on less than $1 per day. According to the 2004/05 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey, 38 percent of children under five in the country are chronically malnourished.

Since 1964, the Bilal Muslim Mission has been instrumental in carrying out various programmes and initiatives in the areas of Tabligh, education and relief for the African community in East Africa. Today, its Tanzania chapter, the Bilal Muslim Mission of Tanzania (BMMT) has 33 branches which are run by African Muballigheen and teachers trained at its Hawza in Temeke. Thanks to the vision and efforts of the organisation’s founding leader, Marhum Maulana Sayyied Saeed Akhtar Rizvi, BMMT continues to reach out to thousands upon thousands of individuals in Tanzania in a concerted effort to invite people to walk the path of the Ahlul Bayt (AS).

RAMADHAN RELIEF IN TANZANIA
To feed so many people in the month of Ramadhan is an enormous task; but for the committed volunteers of the Bilal Muslim Mission of Tanzania, this is an opportunity to earn the blessings of Allah (SWT).

This Ramadhan, BMMT will Insha’Allah serve men, women, children, orphans, widows and the disabled across 60 centres in Tanzania in the cities of Arusha, Coast, Dar-es-Salaam, Dodoma, Kilimanjaro, Kigoma, Kagera, Lindi, Mtwara, Mwanza, Ruvuma, Singida, Tanga, Tabora and Zanzibar.

Through its Ramadhan Relief Fund, The World Federation of KSIMC is working in corporation with BMMT to make sure that our brothers and sisters living in Tanzania will be able to fast in peace, knowing they will be cared for at the end of the day.

In order to make this happen, we need donors like you to help fund the Ramadhan Relief Programme. Your contribution will enlighten the homes of the less privileged this Ramadhan. Here’s how:
