š Ramadan in Yemen: Put Bread on a Family's Table
In Yemen, years of conflict and economic collapse have left millions struggling to afford even the most basic food.
As Ramadan unfolds, families are fasting without knowing if they will have bread to break their fast.
For many households, bread is not a side dish; it is the meal.
This Ramadan, UMMA Foundation is distributing bread bundles directly to vulnerable families, ensuring they can break their fast with dignity.
Hunger Has Become Daily Reality
Yemen remains one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises.
Millions face:
- Widespread food insecurity
- Soaring food prices
- Loss of income and livelihoods
- Dependence on humanitarian assistance
Families survive day to day.
Parents stretch one bundle of bread across multiple meals.Children break their fast with only a few pieces to share.
During Ramadan, the hardship becomes even heavier.
Fasting without proper nourishment places vulnerable populations, especially children, at serious risk.
Our Ramadan Mission: Bread Distribution
UMMA Foundation is distributing fresh bread directly to vulnerable families across Yemen.
Bread is simple.
But in Yemen, it is life-sustaining.
Each distribution helps ensure:
- A family can break their fast
- A child does not sleep hungry
- A parent can fast with dignity
- A household feels remembered
Relief does not always have to be complicated.
Sometimes, it is as essential as bread.
Why Feeding the Fasting Matters
The Prophet ļ·ŗ said:
"Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs."
Feeding someone who has fasted all day is one of the greatest acts of charity in Ramadan.
Your support becomes:
- Immediate nourishment
- Physical strength
- Emotional comfort
- Multiplied reward
Stand With Yemen This Ramadan
When the call to prayer is heard across Yemen, families should not gather around emptiness.
Your charity can become bread.
Your generosity can become relief.
Yemen
What Is Happening
A decade of war has left Yemen with a broken economy, a health system running on almost nothing, and millions of people who cannot afford the food that is on the shelves. It is one of the longest emergencies in the world and one of the least reported.
What UMMA Is Doing
We deliver food parcels and fund the medical care people would not otherwise get, working through teams who live in the communities they serve. Your donation pays for supplies and for the treatment behind 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.
