Each year we run a Ramadan appeal raising money to support our work with the most vulnerable communities around the world.
Whether it’s providing essentials like food and water, fighting poverty or building resilience against climate change, our Ramadan appeals are one of the best ways to donate to a cause close to your heart.
At ActionAid, we already work in countries around the world and help provide water and food like rice, flour, lentils, beans oil, salt and sugar.
We are also helping improve the long-term conditions for families living in poverty by building wells, providing education, and supporting people to rebuild their lives.
But we need your help to reach as many people as possible. Start your Sadaqah Jariyah gift anytime or during next Ramadan.
Ramadan FAQs
Our previous Ramadan appeals
In 2022, you helped raise funds for communities struggling with climate change.
Around the world, millions of people are facing hunger. Droughts, floods, soaring temperatures, conflict and existing poverty in countries like Somaliland, Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are leading to severe food and water shortages around the world.
But your donations are helping to ensure women like Amina, pictured, can access water and rebuild their livelihoods.
Lack of rain and rising temperatures in recent years have meant that Amina's livestock no longer has much pasture to graze on. In addition to selling milk from her livestock, Amina is also dependent on her crops, and without water, she has lost their entire livelihood.
She says: "I have seen severe droughts for the last few years, [but] in my view, this is the worst drought."
Give Sadaqah during Ramadan on any time of the year to help women like Amina.
The role of Ramadan is undeniable in showing what co-operation, empathy, and respect for one another other can do in building bonds of friendship, equality and unity in the Muslim world.
It is what incredible charities such as ActionAid – who already have a proven track record in working with the most vulnerable of communities – have been doing for many years, with great success. Not only do they provide immediate, humanitarian aid but they also stay back and work together with communities to provide long-term, sustainable solutions.
