About
A Hot Meal That Tastes Like Home
Hunger in Gaza is not only about empty stomachs. It is about children who have forgotten what a treat feels like, and families who miss the taste of home. So UMMA cooked, two ways. Fresh, hot burgers for the children, the kind of meal a kid actually gets excited for. And Qidra, the traditional Gazan dish of yellow rice and tender meat, slow cooked the way it has been for generations.
Every week we prepare and deliver 200 freshly cooked hot meals, reaching around 200 people. A crispy burger and a cold juice for a child. A warm plate of Qidra for a family. Handed over fresh, made with care. Not a ration. A real meal, and for a moment, a reason to smile.
Cooked Fresh, Served With Love
Every meal is made by hand in our kitchen and handed over in person. No cold handouts. No endless lines that lead nowhere. A burger that makes a child grin. A plate of Qidra that tastes like the home a family remembers. For people who have lost almost everything, that meal says someone still sees them.
Keep the Meals Coming
Hunger comes back every single day, and so does the longing for something good. That is why these meals go out week after week, not once. Just five dollars puts one hot meal in someone's hands, a burger for a child or a plate of Qidra for a family. Your donation covers real food, real delivery, and a real smile. Give today. 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.
