Winter projects that give warmth, and save lives.
Umm Zakariyya and her children were one of the families assisted by receiving winter relief items at an orphanage that was home to Syrian refugees. The project provided 2,500 families with winter jackets, new shoes and socks. Mothers arrived providing a list of every item they needed. One mother requested shoes size 6 and 7. She also needed a small and medium winter jacket. The Islamic Relief staff were fortunate enough to have the exact sizes.
It wasn’t enough just to have coats and shoes, donors made it possible to have many different sizes so that mothers and fathers could find exactly what they needed. Umm Zakariyya was amazed to see such abundant help. “You can see first-hand how your help is reaching the people,” Umm Zakariyyah said.
