Your Zakat Transforms Lives.
Help displaced families this blessed month.
Education
Education is a powerful tool that can provide a pathway out of poverty and increase the life chances of young people. We currently run two educational centers, the first provides free education for orphaned children from deprived backgrounds in Pakistan and the second provides free education to Syrian refugee children in Sanliurfa, Turkey.
Emergency Relief
We respond immediately to both natural and human disasters around the world, this has included helping those affected by devastating floods, earthquakes and are victims of war.
Medical
Access to medical advice and healthcare is among the many struggles that displaced and vulnerable people face. Where possible we have set up field hospitals as well as doctor appointments, advice and medication in our key regions.
Access To Clean Water
Clean water, sanitation and effective water management are paramount to addressing the water crisis. Everyone has the right to access clean and safe water. Unfortunately, 1 in 3 people do not have clean water. UCF is striving to bridge this gap and we’re always looking for new water sanitation projects to get involved with. To this date, we have provided water pumps in Mardan and Sindh, in Pakistan.
Food For All
We work hard to distribute food to those in the UK and around the world who are hungry and struggling. UCF provides food packs, food distribution and a targeted malnutrition programme in refugee camps across the world and supports local food banks within the UK.
Spotlight on Palestine
Ummah Care Foundation has spread awareness and been on the ground with various projects delivering aid (including medical supplies: medication, medical equipment, food and winter aid) in Palestine for over a decade. We are continuing to fundraise and are sending necessary aid through the borders when possible.

New Initiative: Women’s Workshops
Many Syrian women have faced severe trauma throughout the last decade; from losing wider family members, husbands, or their children in the conflict, looking after children with complex needs and disabilities, facing discrimination as they’ve relocated, or sadly like many women around the world, facing domestic abuse. On top of these struggles, many displaced women are unable to access the resources and support they deserve, to find a way out of these difficult and distressing situations, to finally feel safe and secure.
Our weekly women’s workshops aim to create a space that they trust and can come to for help; while enjoying a range of activities, advice, and talks that comfort, empower, and nurture them.
So far, our workshops have included fun weekly Zumba classes, tea & coffee afternoons, where women come to chat, share any personal issues and get support from the group, medical awareness (we recently had a breast cancer check-up talk, along with screenings and appointments), cooking classes and more.
With additional funding, partnerships with organisations, and wonderful volunteers, we want to give hope to female refugees; through creative sessions, support, and plans for those vulnerable and stuck in challenging circumstances.
