The Big Aid Convoy
Over the last two years, with your support, we were able to send over R28 million of in-kind donations, consisting of rice, flour and tinned food to Syrian refugees.
This year we are aiming to fill 100 containers in various masajid across South Africa, the United Kingdom & France.
Each location will ONLY be collecting either rice or flour (5kg, 10kg & 20kg bags only).
*Please check with each location what item they are collecting and ensure all food donations are within 1-year sell-by-date minimum*

The Big Aid Convoy
Two years ago we launched The Big Aid Convoy to bring vital food aid to the starving people of Syria who have been devastated by war.
Your response has been so overwhelming that each year our efforts have increased and we want to continue to build on the incredible support of our donors.
Let's not forget the starving people of Syria this Ramadan.
Feeding Syrian Refugees this Ramadan
Since 2012, Muslim Hands have been working in Syria to deliver live-saving emergency aid as well as providing on-going support in education, healthcare and livelihood projects for Syrian families.
Last year, we were able to support refugees in Syria and provide them with R8 000 000 of in-kind donations, consisting of rice, flour and tinned food. This year, we are going bigger and international, so we can support more Syrian refugees this Ramadan.
