I AM HUNGRY!

​This is the cry of thousands of poor people in Southern Africa. Naqshbandi Muhammadi Order of South Africa has been running feeding programs in impoverished areas for 18 years. We normally provide meals to 3,000 poor people daily every Ramadan. For the past 3 years, as a result of the dire need, we are feeding up to 10,000 poor people daily. This translated into over 11 million meals served by us since 2020 to the poor and needy which include orphans and the elderly. We have attached a live link that provides a visual view of feeding programme https://bit.ly/Naqsh-Feeding-Dashboard.
 

It costs us just $0.16 to feed 1 poor person daily. So for $1 we can serve 6 meals.

Zakat, Sadaqah and Lillah are accepted. 100% donation policy. Every cent we receive will be spent on feeding the poor.

EXTENDED TO MALAWI IN 2021
During 2021, we extended our feeding campaign to Malawi. Now we are maintaining our extended feeding campaign in South Africa and Malawi. 

This program requires huge amounts of ingredients, for example 2.5 tons of rice per month, 7.5 tons of legumes per month, 4 tons of meat per month, 3 tons of samp per month, to name but a few. Some of these ingredients have been donated by generous donors. We do, however, have a shortfall and appeal to you to please donate towards our campaign.

UPDATES SINCE THE START OF THE FEEDING CAMPAIGN:

1. Alhamdulillah, three feeding recipients accepted Islam in Eastridge (near Cape Town).

2. Shaykh Shamiel da Costa: "It brings tears to my eyes, how Allah is opening up the hearts of people."

3. Manenberg recipient on the first day of Ramadan: "Jazakallah (thank you), I am so grateful. I didn't have anything (to eat) for iftar."

4. Kayamandi cook: "Very humble program, people are happy and very thankful. More people are coming for food. The food is very good and nice, they are happy. Children being fed have nothing (to eat) at home. The community is happy with the kitchen. We are feeding people every day and we are experiencing more children and we have asked for more volunteers to assist us with cooking, cleaning, feeding and giving love to children. Thank you so much."

5. Heartfelt thank you from Theresa, a feeding recipient from Eastridge, Cape Town. https://youtu.be/ZTtJ5Mi_5hQ

6. Another shahada! Alhamdulillah, the granddaughter of one of our cooks embraced Islam.

7. Alhamdulillah, a 90-year old lady became Muslim at our feeding site in Delft, Cape Town.

8. Due to the dire need we are now feeding over 10,000 poor people every day. Thank you for your generous donations.

9. We have served over 11 million meals since April 2020.

10. Our feeding campaign continues indefinitely. The need is still there. Please continue supporting poor people in South Africa and Malawi.
 

COVID-19 CRISIS = MORE HUNGRY PEOPLE

With Covid-19 we found ourselves in unprecedented times. We could never imagine that we found most of the world in lockdown. This COVID-19 virus has caused us to look at life, the way we know it, very differently.

Many people in impoverished communities have lost their jobs or have seen drastic reductions in their income. People are desperate. They are hungry. They need our help or will face starvation. Some people have resorted to looting due to the dire need. Our people will be helped out of desperation by your donation. Post-pandemic, the need has not dissipated; in fact it has increased. 

PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE.  PLEASE SHARE.

We need your help please. Kindly contribute generously. And please share our campaign with your friends and family members. You may well be a means to others doing good and will share in its reward.

“(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of Allah, saying: We feed you for the sake of Allah alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.” – The Holy Quran. 76:8-9
