About
A Family on the Brink of Tragedy
Two Children in Pain. One Last Hope.
A six-year-old girl and her baby brother, both suffering, both in pain. Their parents had already buried one child. Now, two more lives hung in the balance.
But this time, the story was different. This time, there was hope.
Thanks to generous donors, these children received the life-saving surgery they desperately needed. Today, they are healing. They were given a second chance.
But for so many other children in Yemen, time is running out. They are still waiting, still suffering, still in danger.
It Only Takes One Act of Kindness
For just $700, this family's story changed forever. A simple surgery saved two lives. Imagine what your generosity can do for another child.
You Can Be Their Lifeline
No Parent Should Have to Bury Their Child
For families in Yemen, medical care isn't just treatment, it's the difference between life and death. No child should suffer from a treatable condition. No parent should feel helpless, watching their child slip away.
Be the Reason a Child Gets a Second Chance
One donation, one surgery, one saved life. Will you be the reason a child wakes up tomorrow with hope?
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.
