Support our Emergencies Fund
Your donation helps us save lives
A lifeline for families in need across Somalia
By donating to Zamzam UK’s emergencies fund, you can provide a real lifeline to displaced families driven from their homes by drought, floods, and conflict.
In 2024 Zamzam Foundation provided vital food aid, shelter kits and cash assistance to 82,734 people across Somalia. Of these, 58,746 people received hot meals or food packs lasting a month.
Zamzam’s emergency teams prioritise meeting the basic needs of the most vulnerable people driven from their homes by extremes of weather or by conflict. Our focus is on providing food, water, healthcare and shelter. In some camps we also provide education for children who would otherwise miss out.
Your donation could make all the difference for someone in need. Donating just £3 provides a hot meal for a displaced person, while £7 enables us to deliver enough clean water by truck to meet a family’s needs for a week.
A bigger donation of £70 provides a food pack for a family of six. Each of our food packs provides enough supplies to enable a family to prepare their own meals for a whole month, including flour, cooking oil, cereal grains, milk powder and sugar.
Our website offers the choice of making a one-off donation or becoming a regular giver – we value whatever support you can give. Please consider making a monthly donation if you can, as regular giving provides Zamzam Foundation UK with a steady income so that we can get behind Zamzam Foundation in Somalia in its efforts to support the communities it serves all year round.
The positive difference you can make
Success story
Haawa Ali Abdi’s story shows what a positive difference you can make when you donate to our aid projects in Somalia through Zamzam Foundation UK.
Thanks to Zamzam Foundation’s emergency response programme, 35-year-old Haawa and her children have access to food aid and clean water in the Al-Hidaya camp near Mogadishu. Thanks to the work of our health and education teams, all six of her children are going to school for free and the whole family can get basic health care when they need it.
“When I fled here from Lower Shabelle, I had no hope,” says Haawa, who works as a cleaner in a market in Mogadishu. “Zamzam has provided education for my children and given me hope for tomorrow.”
