Free Food, Education, Zakat & More: 10 Charities In UAE To Contribute To This Ramadan

Charity is a vital aspect of Ramadan and is mandatory for all able Muslims. Giving back is a vital habit all year long, but it is especially important during the holy month. Individuals in need turn to charitable trusts for the assistance they require. And in contrast to other months, assistance is greater during Ramadan. Now let’s take a look at the 10 Ramadan charities that assist the poor in the UAE during the holy month.

1. Emirates Red Crescent


Ramadan: Continuous Giving, an initiative of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), has begun this year. The initiative, which was started under the guidance of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafra Area and Chairman of the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), intends to assist more than 2.1 million individuals worldwide. With more than AED 36.8 million in funding, ERC’s Ramadan programmes include Iftar, Zakat-al-Fitr, Eid apparel, and projects for breaking the fast.

2. Dar Al Ber Society

The “Al Ajwadi in Ramadan” initiative, sponsored by the Dar Al Ber Society, intends to raise 140 million dirhams in Dubai. It will aid the less fortunate during the holy month.

Out of 140 million dirhams, 65 million will be used as zakat funds for activities like providing fasting people with breakfast, distributing garments for Eid, providing Ramadan food baskets, and others. The reminder will be used for other resourceful activities.

The programme will continue until the end of Eid Al-Fitr, helping thousands of UAE residents, including widows, divorced women, low-income families, and labourers.
