The Pantry for the Needy
Unlocking New Beginnings: Ending the Crisis of Homelessness for Vulnerable Women and Children Worldwide.
"And they give food, in spite of love for it, to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, [saying], ‘We feed you only for the countenance of Allah. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.’"
Surah Al-Insan (76:8–9)
Imagine the gnawing ache of an empty stomach, the heartbreaking cry of a child hungry for dinner, the impossible choice between food and medicine. For millions of women and children, hunger isn’t just a word, it’s a relentless, daily battle. They are mothers stretching meager portions, children too weak to learn, families stripped of dignity by the sheer absence of food.
The Pantry for the Needy, a compassionate initiative of Salams Foundation, stands as a vital lifeline in this global struggle. We don’t just provide food; we deliver nourishment, warmth, and the fundamental hope that allows women and children to survive, heal, and thrive. We believe that no one, especially an innocent child, should ever go to bed hungry.
Your compassion can turn desperation into a full plate. Your generosity can make a profound difference today.
The Urgent Hunger: Why Your Heartfelt Support is Needed Right Now.
The global hunger crisis is escalating at an alarming rate, pushing vulnerable women and children to the brink. Conflict, economic instability, and climate extremes are stripping families of their ability to feed themselves, creating a humanitarian catastrophe that demands immediate action.
Look into these stark and heartbreaking truths from 2024:
A Crisis of Acute Hunger
Over 295 million people across 53 countries faced acute hunger in 2024 an increase of almost 14 million people compared to 2023. The number facing catastrophic levels of hunger reached a terrifying record high of 1.9 million, indicating populations on the verge of starvation.
Billions Without Reliable Food
Beyond acute hunger, approximately 2.33 billion people nearly 29% of the global population experienced moderate or severe food insecurity in 2023, meaning they lacked regular access to nutritious food.
Children Suffering Malnutrition
A staggering 38 million children under five years old were acutely malnourished across 26 nutrition crises in 2024. Globally, 1 in 4 children (181 million under five) are experiencing severe food poverty, putting them at immense risk of irreversible malnutrition and life-threatening illnesses.
Every empty plate is a cry for help. Every missed meal is a future jeopardized. Your immediate action can fill these voids.
