An estimated 1.7 million people succumb to winter deaths annually around the world.

We can help protect these families from predictable, preventable winter suffering by sending blankets, warming stoves, and winter clothes to people who need them most. Baitulmaal is sending this life-saving winter aid to people in need, but we need your help to ensure that the most vulnerable among us can survive another winter before it’s too late.

Your contribution of $100 helps provide an entire family with winter essentials in countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, and Yemen. A $20 donation can help one person and any amount you can give will make a difference.
