As winter approaches, tens of thousands of families worldwide struggle without sufficient food, heating, or warm clothing. The challenges of rising living costs, ongoing conflicts, and an increase in natural disasters—exacerbated by global warming—further intensify the hardships faced by those trapped in poverty and displacement.

When temperatures drop, the most vulnerable are at an increased risk of severe illness and even death. This includes refugees living in tents, exposed to the bitter cold with little more than a thin layer for protection. These are families with young children and the elderly who have fled conflict zones, been displaced multiple times and are struggling to find shelter. Many are homeless, forced to sleep on the streets, facing the harsh realities of winter. They rely on the kindness and generosity of people like you to help them endure the cold.

In response to this situation, Muslim Hands teams will be distributing winter kits to Syrian refugees in Turkey, families in Swat, Pakistan, and the internally displaced in Ma’rib, Yemen.
