This is What Winter Feels Like in Emergency Zones

Muslim Hands

As temperatures drop below freezing, many vulnerable families have no protection against the biting cold. No warm clothes, no blankets, just tents or makeshift shelters, barely protecting them from the harsh weather.

Children lie awake shivering, hungry and unwell, with little access to food or healthcare.

This is the harsh reality for thousands of families worldwide.

At Muslim Hands, we believe no one should suffer through winter without protection. That’s why our teams are on the ground—whether in conflict zones, disaster areas or poverty-stricken communities—to support those most in need. This winter, we are working with Syrian refugees in Turkey, and vulnerable communities in Pakistan and Yemen.

Your generosity can make a life-changing difference.

  • $XX can provide a family with essential winter clothing—coats, sweaters, gloves, and socks—to help them stay warm.
  • You can also send a Winter Emergency Food Parcel to families facing hunger, reminding them they are not forgotten.
  • Or, contribute any amount to our Surviving Winter Fund, enabling us to respond wherever the need is greatest.

This winter, join us to bring warmth, nourishment and hope to families in need.

Together, we make a difference.
