One of the most populated and hardest hit nation with respect to poverty is Africa. The Africa Federation reports that: “We have members of our community who have a hard time to put a full meal on their tables. We also have members of the Bilal Missions who equally find it difficult to be able to have Iftaar regularly.”
RAMADHAN RELIEF FUND 1430
As part of its Ramadhan Relief Fund distribution, The World Federation contributed £51,000 GBP to The Africa Federation to provide respite and aid to our needy brothers and sisters (non-Sadaat) during the month of Ramadhan.
