Response to Humanitarian Crisis

Sri Lanka's worst economic crisis since independence has led to food insecurity, threatened livelihoods, shortages of essential medical supplies, and rising protection concerns, exacerbated by reduced agricultural production, fuel and electricity shortages, inflation, and skyrocketing food prices, leaving the most vulnerable populations in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Zakat Foundation of America’s Seasonal Islamic Giving provides a reliable source of food security, particularly during Ramadan with Iftar meals helping thousands in need. During Hajj and Eid al-Adha, field teams oversee the Udhiyah-Qurbani sacrifice of locally raised cattle, distributing thousands of pounds of protein-rich meat to struggling families.

Irfan

At just 14, Irfan has faced more hardship than most. Orphaned young, he now lives with his elder sister, who struggles daily to provide for them. Food insecurity was a constant worry until supporters of our Food Security program changed Irfan’s life. Now, with bi-weekly food aid, Irfan no longer studies on an empty stomach, and his sister can breathe a little easier. “You’ve helped us more than you can imagine,” Irfan says.
