Qurban 2019

Posted on | by Henry Montesano

Summary

  • A staggering 820+ million people worldwide live with food insecurity every day.
  • Embrace Relief offers you the chance to feed people in need by donating a Qurban meat package to families in Africa, Yemen, and elsewhere around the world.
  • As a trusted nonprofit with more than a decade of experience in helping people worldwide, you can be assured that your donation will go directly towards vulnerable families in more than a dozen countries.
Summary

According to the United Nations, more than 820 million people are experiencing food insecurity right now. Hunger affects people in every corner of the world as a result of poverty, unemployment, political and civil unrest, climate change and conflict.

Embrace Relief’s annual International Hunger Relief campaigns are designed to combat the world hunger crisis and help as many people as possible by collecting funds to buy and distribute Qurban meat packages.

This meat is humanely and hygienically handled coming from goats, sheep, and cattle. Since refrigeration is a rarity in places like sub-saharan Africa, many people cut, salt, and dry their Qurban and eventually reduce it to a powder-like substance so it can last them up to a year of vital protein.

Our Qurban campaigns feed tens of thousands of vulnerable people each year in more than a dozen countries, including conflict-stricken Yemen, communities in need in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mali, Nigeria, and more.

Because Embrace Relief is a 501(c)(3) humanitarian nonprofit organization based in New Jersey, USA, that has been awarded and recognized by numerous independent rating organizations for our trustworthiness, reliability, and transparency, you can be assured that your Qurban donation will be delivered safely. For more than a decade, Embrace Relief has built relationships with a global network of partner organizations in more than 45 countries, creating strong bonds and trust that have allowed us to reach millions of people across our many programs.

Sponsor a Child’s Happiness and Life

Posted on | by Henry Montesano
Childhood is a time to be happy, carefree, hopeful, and excited about life.  Unfortunately, there are over 52 million orphans in Africa alone, with this number increasing everyday.  Kenya, Tanzania, and Nigeria are home to more than 4.3 million of these orphans, who account for one of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Having to fend for themselves, they face the daily struggle of locating food, water, and shelter.  Furthermore, they are forced to live with this instability and fear every single day.   Wanting nothing more than to play, laugh, grow, and learn, these orphans rarely get the opportunity to experience such a childhood.  But, this can be changed. Luckily, there is still hope for these orphans who feel like they have been forgotten.  Through our Sponsorship Program, you can sponsor a child and change their life today.  This will supply a child with food, water, shelter and education. These basic human-rights are essential for a productive, healthy, and long life. By sponsoring a child through Embrace Relief, you can better and save the life of an orphan who feels lost and forgotten.   To learn more about how you can help restore lost hope for an orphan, Click Here, 

Turkish Refugees Fundraiser

Posted on | by Henry Montesano

Today, and every day, our hearts are heavy due to the refugee crisis that is happening around the world.  Did you know that every day thousands of refugees seeking asylum?  Furthermore, hundreds of Turkish refugees are fleeing to Greece to seek safety and asylum. These refugees flee from violence, political, and ideological persecution. 

Unfortunately, they are forced to uproot their lives and relocate in hopes to find a better life and future for their children. These refugees need assistance and help to learn a completely new way of life in order to not just survive but to also thrive. 

Right now, there is a group of Turkish women who desperately want to help these people who do not feel accepted anywhere. The thought of not having a place to call “home” breaks their hearts, as it does ours.  These women are passionate about saving lives and wish to raise money for the Turkish refugees through Embrace Relief’s campaigns.

Due to gracious donors and volunteers, Embrace Relief is able to provide food, healthcare, shelter, financial, psychological, and legal support to those who need it most.  Embrace Relief is also in the implementation phase of offering English courses to these Turkish refugees.  Many want to learn English because it is a prominent language in Europe and around the world, just in case they want or have to migrate to a different country.  

Right now, our goal is to raise 11,000 USD (or more!) to help aid these refugees that are in desperate need.  Donate below so you can become a worldwide hero and start changing lives today: 

Share Food, Give Happiness

If there is one thing in this world that is true, it is that everyone loves food.  Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity, resources, or ability to access even one meal a day.  Everyday, millions of people suffer from malnutrition which causes chronic hunger, disease, and even death. One of the most important sources of food is protein from meat.  This protein contributes to a long and healthy life, which many people around the world do not get to experience.  There are people in places such as Africa, Greece, Yemen, and even the United States, who are denied the chance at a prosperous life.  But, not all hope is lost. As it does every year, Embrace Relief is raising funds for International Hunger Relief to distribute Qurban meat to those who need it most. Coming from goats, sheep and cattle, this meat is humanely and hygienically handled, meaning it adheres to common dietary restrictions. Now, you can even track your donation and get a notification when it has arrived to a family in need. To become a hero by contributing to International Hunger Relief today, Click Here.

Bringing Digital Literacy to Sub-Saharan Africa

Posted on | by Henry Montesano
In Sub-Saharan Africa, very little of the population has access to computers or the internet, not to mention the wealth of information stored on both. Approximately 32.6 million primary-school-aged children and over 25.7 million adolescents do not, or are unable to attend school. Emerging technology and advances in infrastructure now offer low-cost teaching resources, providing greater inclusion and improved education quality. This fall, Embrace Relief is donating over 300 brand new computer processing units (CPU) that will be delivered to Tanzania and Uganda. Each computer will provide access to a world of knowledge for these children. Through support and contributions from donors, we were able to reach phase one of our goal to have the full units ready for Tanzania and Uganda by this fall. Bringing this technology and educational programs to these countries means further educating the world so we can all see and experience a brighter future. Our next step will entail a goal of distributing 1000 computers with the ICT system to schools in Sub-Saharan Africa, opening more doors to education.  

Digital Literacy for Sub-Saharan Africa

Posted on | by Henry Montesano

In today’s technologically-driven world, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are essential to education. They provide easy access to the totality of human knowledge, empowering innovative ideas and solutions for community development. In sub-Saharan Africa, accessing information instantly is virtually impossible – a serious hindrance to the expansion of education. Increased exposure to educational technology enhances the effectiveness of learning.

Thanks to this campaign, 324 computers with the ICT system are planned on being distributed to students in Tanzania and Uganda in the fall. Our next step will entail a goal of distributing 1000 computers, providing even easier access to a world of knowledge.  

By contributing to this campaign, you help prepare students in Tanzania and Uganda for the future.

The Refugee Crisis in Tanzania

Posted on | by Henry Montesano
Every year, millions of people are forced to flee from their homes due to war, political instability, economic decline, disease, and violence.  Embrace Relief helps those who are displaced by providing food packages, legal counseling, guidance through the asylum process, and rent assistance.   In Tanzania alone, there are over 318,000 people who have nowhere to call home.  While the country has long welcomed refugees, it does not have the capacity or resources to accommodate all those who are seeking refuge.  Unfortunately, many experience malnutrition and other deprivations. For the majority of these people the closest thing they currently know to safety are refugee camps where they are neglected and lack basic necessities. Embrace Relief goes beyond just collecting and sending money.  Our organization has many volunteers on the ground in Tanzania.  Over the course of three days this week alone, they will deliver 500 food packages, which will help an ever-expanding number of people.  With every passing day, more and more people hear about this help and flock to seek refuge in the arms of those who care. Through our multifaceted organizational system, Embrace Relief is able to provide physical, mental, and monetary support to those who need it most.  Embrace Relief assists in helping people rediscover hope in not only life but also other people. By no longer having to worry about where their next meal will come from or where they can lay their head at night, they can focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
