Will you join us in walking for #Yemen?
The Prophet (saw) said, 鈥楾he best of men are the men of Yemen, belief is Yemeni, and I am Yemeni鈥�. (Ahmad). He (saw) also said, 鈥楩or me to walk to for my brother鈥檚 need is better for me than secluding in worship in this Masjid of mine for a month'.听(蚕补诲补-耻濒-贬补飞补颈箩)
We are inviting you to challenge yourself, get active and raise life-saving relief for the people of Yemen. Are you ready for a challenge?
Walk For Yemen
Alhamdulilah we currently have 43 participants taking part in our Walk For Yemen, and so far, they have raised 拢2650, which will provide bread to 37,100 people in Yemen. Insha鈥橝llah we are hoping to reach our 拢15,000 target over the next month which will help to feed 210,000 people. Will you help us to feed the people of Yemen?
Our star fundraisers Nayla and Fariha wanted to tell you why they got involved in our walk:
鈥淚 have wanted to improve my health for ages. I have arthritis in both of my knees and joined the gym a few weeks ago but was still finding it hard to go by myself. I saw this event on Instagram so signed up straight away, and now I鈥檓 using this event to focus on building up my stamina and my fitness levels.
I am going to the gym 3/4 times a week now and I have also encouraged my sister to sign up. So far, we have collectively raised 拢1000 by encouraging our friends and family to donate and we are hoping to raise 拢1500. This is our first 51品茶 events and we鈥檙e really looking forward to the walk". - Nayla
Fariha also had to say:
The U.N has described the situation in Yemen as 鈥榯he worst man-made humanitarian crisis of our time鈥� and the spread of Coronavirus has only made it more difficult for them. There鈥檚 a lack of healthcare, clean water, and food 鈥� which is only allowing to disease to spread. But you can stop this.
Every 10 minutes a child in Yemen dies from preventable causes such as the lack of food and water 鈥� and this is where your donations to our bread factory will help save a life. 鈥榃hoever saves one [life] - it is as if he had saved the entirety of Mankind鈥�. [The Noble Qur鈥檃n, 5:32]
