About
Sudan Is Bleeding. But Tonight, People Will Not Break Their Fast Alone.
Sudan is living through one of the most devastating and overlooked humanitarian crises in the world. Millions displaced. Communities shattered. A conflict that the world has largely forgotten but that we refuse to ignore.
This Ramadan, our teams are on the ground across two camps in Sudan, serving hot Iftar meals to families who have lost everything. Not food parcels. Not dry rations. A real, warm, dignified meal served at the moment the Adhan calls.
600 meals. Two camps. Two days. Every plate a statement that these families are not forgotten.
That is what your donation makes possible. And there are still nights ahead.
The World Looked Away. We Showed Up.
Look at this image.
Men and children, seated on mats laid out on dusty ground, sharing plates of warm food as the sun sets over Sudan. UMMA banners behind them. Our teams carrying trays of rice, meat, and dates through the crowd.
This is not a relief camp in a news headline. This is real life. These are real people displaced by a conflict that has torn Sudan apart and pushed millions to the edge of survival.
They did not ask to be here. They did not choose this Ramadan. But here they are and here, tonight, because of your generosity, there is food on their plates.
Our teams have been present across two camps, distributing 600 hot Iftar meals over two consecutive days. Real meals. Warm food. Served with care, with dignity, and with the intention that every person seated on those mats deserves to break their fast like a human being; not like someone who has been forgotten.
Because the truth about Sudan is this: the world has largely moved on. The cameras left. The headlines stopped. But the displacement didn't stop. The hunger didn't stop. The families sitting on those mats are still there every single day waiting for someone to remember them.
We remember them. And with you, we show up.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs." (Tirmidhi)
600 meals. 600 rewards written in your name. In a country the world forgot in the holiest month of the year.
Do not let Sudan break their fast alone.
Sudan
What Is Happening
War has emptied whole neighborhoods in Sudan. Families who had a home in the morning are sleeping somewhere else by the evening, and the markets that used to feed them are closed, looted, or priced out of reach.
What UMMA Is Doing
We work with local kitchens and volunteers who are already inside these communities. Together we cook and hand out hot meals, and we go back to the same places so families can count on it. Your donation buys the ingredients, the fuel, and the transport.
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.
