Ramadan 2021 | #PledgeYourLunch: Thank You From All of Us!

Thank You

This Ramadan 2021, our team set out to support UNHCR’s humanitarian efforts through the fourth installment of our annual #PledgeYourLunch campaign. We aimed to brighten the lives of refugees a meal at a time. Alhamdulillah, our month-long campaign has ended and we have collectively raised USD 3,638 for UNHCR. And we couldn’t have done it without YOU!

You have donated in the blessed month of Ramadan 2021, and have inspired many others to do the same. You have given many refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless individuals and families a new lease on life. Your invaluable contributions have provided them with lifesaving care, shelter, food, water, and medicine.

From the bottom of our hearts, HalalTrip and CrescentRating would like to thank you for being a part of this cause. May Allah reward you abundantly and make your donation a means of salvation in the hereafter. Jazakallah Khair.

"... if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind..."

(Quran 5:32)

 

Listen to First Hand Accounts of those YOU helped!

Reem

Hear more about the situation of the beneficiaries with Reem, a fieldworker helping one of the beneficiaries of the #PledgeYourLunch campaign. As a senior field assistant at UNHCR in Yemen, Reem is part of the dedicated team that works tirelessly to protect refugees forced to flee wars and persecution around the world. Apart from providing life-saving aid such as shelter, food, and water, UNHCR also ensures that their basic safety, rights, and dignity are taken care of. 

Humaira

Humaira, a Rohingyan refugee, was forced to flee Myanmar after the loss of a parent, being separated from her family, and losing her home. Now taking shelter in the refugee camps of Bangladesh, Humaira fights for survival, seeking stability for her younger sisters and herself.

Husain
UNHCR Husain story

He first came to Jordan in hopes of being able to afford his daughter’s surgery. Since then, Husain, his wife, and his three children have been living alongside five orphan children whom they have graciously taken into their home.

Nour Begum
Nour Begum Story

Nour Begum and her children came to Bangladesh to seek refuge from the violence faced by the Rohingya. To this very day, Nour is still unaware of what happened to her missing husband. Displaced in a foreign land, Nour and her family maintain a strong will and perseverance in their daily life at the refugee camps, in hopes of seeing a time of peace and better days ahead.

Fattoum

Widowed and displaced, Fattoum is a Yemeni mother who has dedicated herself to caring for her four daughters. On top of the struggles every mother goes through, she and her family also have to bear the challenges of being displaced.

 

More Opportunities to come

This #PledgeYourLunch campaign 2021 has had a positive impact on all of us here at HalalTrip and CrescentRating. It made us rethink the many blessings we have that others around the world struggle to even acquire in their daily lives. 

We sincerely hope this campaign has touched you as it has with us and we hope to be back next year with another opportunity for all of us to share our blessings with the needy.

Thanks to all your support, people like Humaira, Husain, Nour Begum, and Fattoum may have a better life ahead of them. Insha Allah!
