The blessed month of Dhul Hijjah is just around the corner and with it the celebratory days of Eid-ul-Adha!

Many of us have plans to go to a farm with our family this Eid and uphold the Sunnah of our Prophet (SAW) by sacrificing an animal and sharing the meat. However, there are some members of this Ummah who aren’t able to partake in this blessed act and are in need of our support. 

When Eid arrives, the destitute and needy families feel helpless

Many villages in Morocco are extremely remote and not as developed as other parts of the country, as a result thousands of families are forced to live in extreme poverty and do not have the resources necessary to provide food and water for their families, which leaves makes many to wonder where their next meal is going to come from.

These are the people whom their Eid feast turns from an opportunity for joy to an occasion of sadness in which the taste of happiness has been lost, and the days of this religious celebration go through them with bitterness and deprivation. In fact, they are really compelled by the severity of poverty to the point that they would hide from views during the day of Eid while people are enjoying eating meats of their sacrifice.

They sadly do so, simply because they are very poor financially as they are either one of these categories;  "elderly people who can’t support themselves and are unable to work",  "widowed women who struggle and work from hand to mouth to feed their kids and need to cover other expenses like rent, water and electricity bills".  Likewise, poor families, orphans, and underprivileged people who suffer financially throughout the year due to the job that earns them basic wages which only brings basic food and nothing more at all. 

Who are we?
