Mali and Kenya are among the regions facing significant hardship. Years of internal conflict, political instability, and severe climate crises hitting the Sahel region—particularly drought—have made access to basic food and clean water nearly impossible for many. A large portion of the population struggles to survive below the hunger threshold and is in urgent need of humanitarian aid.

Millions of people across Africa face severe food insecurity. Due to ongoing conflicts, hundreds of thousands have been forced to leave their homes and are internally displaced. Limited access to education, healthcare, and infrastructure leads to an increase in epidemic diseases and health issues related to malnutrition.

Islamic Relief has been actively conducting humanitarian aid operations in Africa for many years. We do not only provide food aid during Qurbani and Ramadan; we also open permanent clean water wells, support educational projects, run orphan sponsorship programs, and build sustainable agricultural projects focused on the development of women.
