Trekking Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Human Appeal because they are on the ground delivering vital aid.
Event: Ultimate Kilimanjaro Trek 2021, June 2021 (postponed from February 8)
On Thursday 8th October I was given the heartbreaking news that my dear beloved father had departed this world (May Allah Rest His Soul In Peace & Grant Him Eternal Paradise)
It breaks my heart knowing that many of the family and community couldn’t even be present with him at the funeral due to the COVID restrictions.
I have so many childhood memories of dad, most notably changing his lifelong habit of not eating ice cream and chocolate at the age of 96.
He was always having fun and jokes with his grandchildren and often spoke and joked about taking them to visit the queen when he turned a 100.
What an amazing man gone far too early who has left a massive void not only in the family but in the community too. I am drawn to tears just typing this but I wish and pray I can do more in the name of my Father.
It is in the name of my father ‘Siddek Ali’ I intend on raising as much funds as possible to help “The World In Crisis Appeal” by taking on the challenge of my life by trekking Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world.
May Allah swt grant my efforts in loving memory of my dear beloved father and be a source for his door to paradise.
Everywhere we look, the world is in crisis:
- Yemen is crippled by six years of conflict, famine, and disease with over 24 million people needing urgent humanitarian aid.
- Syria has millions displaced due to the nine year long conflict.
- Gaza in Palestine, according to the United Nations could become uninhabitable by the end of 2020.
- Iraq continues to experience an unstable and critical humanitarian situation with 6.7 million people needing immediate assistance.
- Rohingya refugees, described by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres as the most discriminated people in the world.
- Refugee camps around the world are further aggravated by the threat of coronavirus upon their lives.
Last year we all helped Human Appeal to change the lives of 1,349,536 people, including supporting 11,845 orphans in nine countries, as well as providing 42,110 people with vital and timely food security. During the harsh winter over 13,000 people were given the support they required to weather the tough conditions of these difficult months.
Human Appeal is on the ground in Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq, Myanmar and Bangladesh, but can only deliver vital aid with your help. Your support means the difference between life and death for people experiencing unimaginable suffering.
This winter give the gift of warmth to the people of Rohingya, Yemen, Gaza, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan and the street children in Bangladesh. DON’T let them FREEZE, ACT NOW!
This winter as temperatures plummet, millions of displaced people in refugee camps and conflict zones will have to battle the cold weather conditions. Already struck with homelessness, hunger and unsafe living conditions they are at high risk of a deadly virus, COVID-19.
For children living and working on the streets of Dhaka, winter is a particularly challenging time. On the streets, the children are homeless, ill-fed, ill-clothed and devoid of parental care. Barefoot and typically with just one thin layer of clothing to their name, a cold winter’s night is a considerable hardship and increases the risk of children falling into unsafe practices as a means of generating an income or to stay warm, making them extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
Yemen – £240 will provide a Winter Kit to a vulnerable family (5-7 people) in Yemen, containing warm clothes, blankets and mattresses for the whole family, helping them to survive winter.
Syria – £140 will provide an Emergency Winter Kit to a vulnerable Syrian family, containing warm blankets, sleeping mats and rugs, shelter reinforcement, fuel for heating, and soap, helping them to survive winter.
Bangladesh – £100 will provide Emergency Winter Kits to 5 vulnerable children living or working on the streets of Dhaka containing warm winter clothing, helping them to survive winter.
Give the gift of warmth – Act now and help save lives and shield the dignity of vulnerable families and children.
These items could mean the difference between life and death, in the first and most vulnerable moments during an emergency, for a family who have lost everything.
