About
Bread Baked in Gaza, for Gaza
Bread is the base of every meal here. For families who have lost their homes and their income, a steady supply of it is hard to find. UMMA runs a bread program inside Gaza that bakes and delivers fresh bread every week. No middlemen. No waiting. Bread made locally and handed straight to the families who need it.
Each week the program produces and distributes 150 bread packages, reaching around 150 families. Every package holds 12 to 15 freshly baked pieces, enough to cover a family's daily bread. This is real help that arrives on a schedule families can count on.
Work That Restores Dignity
The bread is made by hand by five women who are facing hardship of their own. They prepare, bake, and package every piece. The program gives them steady, paid work and a role that matters. This is how UMMA builds. We create jobs while we meet a need, so help moves in more than one direction.
A Need That Returns Every Day
Hunger in Gaza is not a one-time event. Families need bread today, and again tomorrow. That is why this program runs week after week, not once. Your support keeps the ovens on, the women employed, and the bread moving to the families counting on it. Build. Serve. Scale.

What Is Happening
Families in Gaza have been displaced again and again, and the markets, clinics and water systems they relied on are gone. Hunger here is not a slow decline. It arrives in weeks, and it reaches children first.
What UMMA Is Doing
We work through kitchens and medical teams already inside these communities, because they know which streets to reach and they are there before we are. Your donation buys ingredients, fuel, medicine and the transport that gets all three to families who cannot travel to collect them.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
