Ramadan
Giving Day 13: UMR in Yemen
United
Mission for Relief & Development (UMR) is a non-profit organisation focused
on providing disaster relief and recovery services to the underserved both
domestically in the U.S. and internationally across the globe. UMR was first
created by a student body in George Mason University in response to the 2010
Haiti earthquake.
In
2013 they transitioned from being a student led humanitarian movement to being
a professionally staffed organisation. They maintain their student movement
roots through their chapters at universities.
UMR
is on the ground in Yemen hoping to help as much as possible with donations. Currently, the majority of the Yemeni
population is malnourished and starving.
UMR are raising funds for food baskets for the people of Yemen for the month
of Ramadan.

Narrated
Ibn ‘Abbas: “The Prophet ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of
Allāh be upon him) was the most generous person, and he used to become more so
(generous) particularly in the month of Ramadan…more generous than the fast
wind in doing good” (Bukhari).
