Response to Humanitarian Crisis
In 2006, a devastating famine struck the Horn of Africa, affecting over 100 million people. Prolonged drought and poor harvests led to intense poverty and desperation for food. With limited access to clean water, villagers had to travel long distances. Zakat Foundation of America played a vital role in relief efforts through its COVID-19 response, Emergency Food response and distribution including Ramadan Food packages and Udhiya/Qurbani meat shares, school supplies, clean water provision and infrastructure development.
