Every widowed mother wishes to feed her children. Donate food parcels for Ramadan. For hundreds of thousands of orphan and widowed families who have lost the breadwinner of their house, either in an accident, to sickness or a disease, or as a result of conflict, our food parcel becomes their lifeline.

Delivering Food Parcels to Save Lives

If it wasn’t bad enough dealing with the loss of a loved one, widows are illtreated, often abused and taken advantage of, and because of their status their children are also subjected to the same treatment. Without an income or any financial support, widowed women are unable to feed their orphan children.

For just £30 you can feed a family of five for an entire month, that’s less than your average weekly food bill.

Orphans in Need relies on your generosity to provide food parcels to widows and orphans to help relieve some of their hardships. We deliver support to 15 of the most impoverished countries in the world including Somalia, Kenya, Afghanistan, Kashmir and Sri Lanka. Last year, your donations meant we were able to provide over 8 million meals to needy widows and orphans, and with your help we aim to provide 10 million meals this year.

What our Food Parcels Provide

The pandemic has doubled the amount of people suffering from acute hunger, that’s 272 million people, and until it is safe for our orphans and widows, we will be continuing to give hygiene kits with every food parcel donated.

Each food parcel generally contains rice, flour, oil, lentils, pulses, spices, tea, sugar, vegetables, dates, soap and sanitation products. In addition, we make sure that all the produce is sourced locally with a focus on nutritional benefit and longevity. Not only will you be helping vulnerable widows and orphans, but your support will help local economies prosper.

Help us feed the fasting.

This is Khadija Abdi

Khadija Abdi moved into an IDP camp with her mother and four children, after she lost her husband. IDP camps are overflooded with refugees and are known for their lack of hygiene, food and clean water. 

This is Daddy Mammy Coker

As part of our visit to Sierra Leone we spoke to many children in the hope of finding out more about the lives of orphans in Freetown. We asked the usual questions about their favourite subjects, their hobbies and what they want to be when they grow up.

This is Yusupha

Yusupha is the mother of 4 children. Yusupha’s husband passed away in 2015 from a stroke after this, she became a widow and her children became orphans. Because there was now no sole breadwinner in the family, Yusupha struggled to provide food. Her daily income only carried the family through a day or two at most.

Providing a safer future for Widows and Orphans in need

To make it easier for you to donate we provide the option for one-off £30 donations or monthly recurring £30 donations that allow us to better plan for providing future support. Donors can also provide a one-off donation of £360 (less than a £1 a day) that will ensure a family in need is given food parcel support for an entire year (12 months).
