    Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah grant us the strength to make the most of this blessed month and improve in every way, Ameen.

    As every Ramadan, we are continuing with the Shamma Ramadan Food Packages (RFP) project. We started yesterday to ensure families receive their groceries on time.

    Our approach is simple and effective: In the areas where we operate, we partner with selected local businesses based on quality, price, and distance. These businesses accept our €50 vouchers* and provide essential groceries to those in need.

    Even before Ramadan begins, we start receiving requests for RFPs, which we verify through local contacts and key community figures. The next step is handing over a voucher worth 10,000 PKR*, allowing families to choose their own groceries based on their specific needs.

    This method reduces waste and ensures that families get exactly what they need for their Ramadan meals.

    Since the exchange rate between Euro and PKR fluctuates, your €50 may be slightly more or less than 10,000 PKR. In either case, Shamma will adjust the donation to ensure the full value is delivered.

    Support a family this Ramadan! You can donate your RFP via: Stichting Shamma NL62ABNA0462562956 Mention: RFP 2025 in your transfer.

    Your generosity can make a real difference. Donate now and spread kindness this Ramadan! Let me know if you’d like any refinements.

  • Shaadi project 30

    Shaadi project 30

    Over the past period, we have been working on various projects, Alhamdulillah. We aim to actively share updates again.

    Shaadi Project 30 involves the daughter of an imam from a local mosque. The imam does not have financial stability, and thanks to the generous donations from supporters, the required budget was almost complete—except for the final 150,000 PKR (around €500).

    We are grateful to Allah, the Almighty, for allowing us to contribute to this wedding, supporting a family in need.

    We request duas for this young bride, that she may have a marriage filled with happiness and success, Ameen.

  • Shaadi Project 29

    Shaadi Project 29

    We are grateful to Allah, the Almighty, for allowing us to contribute to this wedding. This young woman had only been married for a few months and was living happily with her husband and in-laws—until tragedy struck. Her husband suddenly passed away. إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ (‎Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.)

    In an act of kindness and care, her mother-in-law (in consultation with all involved) helped arrange a new match to ensure her future stability. However, the family’s financial situation was difficult, and Stichting Shamma was requested to help cover wedding expenses.

    With the generous support of our donors, Shamma provided 300,000 PKR (around €980) to make this possible, Alhamdulillah. We kindly ask everyone reading this to make dua for the mother-in-law and the bride—that Allah blesses them both abundantly.

    ✨ Your support helps build futures! Let us continue standing with those in need.

  • 150 food packages

    150 food packages

    Alhamdulillah, a beautiful act of generosity! Since the start of Ramadan, 150 food packages, each worth 15,000 PKR / €50, have already been distributed to families in need.

    May Allah accept this effort and richly reward every contributor in this life (Duniya) and the Hereafter (Aakhirah), Ameen.

    ✨ Your support is truly making a difference—may this kindness continue to spread!

    We are once again blessed to be in the most beautiful month of the year—Ramadan, Alhamdulillah. May Allah grant us the strength to make the most of this time and improve ourselves in every way, Ameen.

    This year, Shamma Food Packages continue to reach those in need, following our trusted approach: We work with selected local shopkeepers, chosen based on product quality, pricing, and accessibility. These shopkeepers accept €50 vouchers and provide essential groceries directly to the beneficiaries.

    As Ramadan approaches, requests for RFPs begin to flow in. Verification is conducted through community contacts and key figures, ensuring aid reaches the right people. Once verified, recipients receive a voucher worth 15,000 PKR*, allowing them to select the groceries they truly need, minimizing waste and maximizing impact.

    Due to exchange rate fluctuations, your €50 may convert to slightly more or less than 15,000 PKR. In all cases, Shamma ensures the donation rounds up to the stated 15,000 PKR.

    To contribute to an RFP or a portion of one, you can donate to: Stichting Shamma NL62 ABNA 0462 5629 56 Mention: RFP 2023

    ✨ Your kindness brings light into someone’s life—thank you for making a difference this Ramadan!
