In the month of 2025 Ramadan, where mercy and blessings envelop the entire Islamic world, as every year, we, as the Çare Association, embark on a journey to aid our needy brothers and sisters in 14 countries across 3 continents, thanks to the blessings of Ramadan and the support of our donors. This month, which is more auspicious than a thousand months, is a prescription for salvation against all adversities, with its brotherhood, sharing, happiness, and beauties it offers. Therefore, we initiate this meaningful journey with the call "Let Our Table Be the Remedy!"
In the 2025 Ramadan month, the month of mercy and forgiveness, we set up iftar tables, distribute food packages, perform optional sacrifices, and deliver cash donations such as zakat, fitra, fidya, and charity to those in need. We also organize iftar dinners for orphans and students of religious education in orphanages and madrasas.
With our 15 years of experience since 2009, we continue to be the remedy for the needy this Ramadan. You too can contribute to our humanitarian efforts extending from Afghanistan to Uganda, from the Philippines to Palestine through your donations and prayers. The recent oppression in Palestine, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deeply wounds our hearts. Opening our tables to our Palestinian brothers and sisters in the atmosphere of mercy and blessings of Ramadan and alleviating their suffering is our duty.
Emphasizing the importance of sharing and being together with the call "Let Our Table Be the Remedy," we aim for our tables to be a remedy not only for ourselves but also for the needy around the world. Thus, we believe that each donation and support makes for a hopeful new beginning, making the spirit of the blessed Ramadan month even more meaningful.
Let's make room at our tables for our neighbors, our country, the oppressed regions, and Gaza!
In the 2025 Ramadan month, although we have different colors, languages, races, and geographies, our hearts and intentions are united and the same. We gather with our brothers and sisters in distressed regions worldwide to share the blessings and unity of Ramadan by sharing iftar tables. We offer iftar meals to orphans continuing their education in our orphanages and other needy individuals with your contributions.
Through our humanitarian aid efforts in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, we witness the profound humanitarian crisis in the region. Every day of Ramadan, we traditionally set up iftar tables in our orphanages and nearby areas.
You can choose a country and cover the cost of a day's iftar, either alone or as a group. You can host orphans at your table during this special month. The cost of iftar per country, taking into account the economic situation and various factors, is as follows:
In line with the spirit of solidarity inherent in the month of Ramadan, we deliver food packages for sahur and iftar to earthquake victims based on your assistance! These packages consist of basic food items determined according to the needs of families in the region.
Join us in supporting earthquake victims and helping to heal their wounds. Let's alleviate the burdens and difficulties of earthquake victims together. It's time to kneel side by side at the same table and show solidarity!
One of the prominent features of the 2025 Ramadan month is the increase in the sense of unity and solidarity. With these feelings in mind, we reach out to our brothers and sisters worldwide and send food packages to them to share the blessings and unity of Ramadan. Our food packages consist of essential food items needed for sahur and iftar for those in need. These food items, varying according to the region, are carefully selected to be both delicious and nutritious.
We need your support to help those in need in many parts of the world. By joining us, you can extend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in need worldwide. Foreign food packages are the finest example of our culture of mutual assistance. You can join us to spread this culture and stand by our needy brothers and sisters worldwide.
Let our hearts' brotherhood and our tables' blessings be one!
Zakat, one of the obligatory acts of worship imposed on Muslims, provides relief to those in need. As the Çare Association, we work to deliver your zakat not only in Turkey but also to those in need worldwide. By giving your zakat, you can help orphans, those in need, refugees living in camps, victims of internal conflicts who have lost everything, and our brothers and sisters suffering from poverty and destitution. With these aids, you can be a source of hope in the hearts of our brothers and sisters.
Zakat is the share of a Muslim brother in another Muslim's property, and it is an act of worship that reminds us that we are one ummah, building bridges from heart to heart.
Charity, linguistically meaning "to be true; to be truthful," refers to voluntary or religiously obligatory material aid given to those in need to earn Allah's pleasure. Fitra (alms given at the end of Ramadan) is an obligatory charity given during Ramadan. While charity can be given at any time of the year, fitras must be delivered before the Eid al-Fitr prayer. Fidya is a religious and financial obligation paid when certain acts of worship are not performed or when some deficiencies occur during their performance. Fidya related to worship is mentioned in fasting and Hajj. Those who cannot fast due to old age and incurable illness and cannot make up for it later pay fidya for each day they cannot fast. It is stated in the Qur'an:
“Those who can afford it should pay the fidya, a penalty of feeding a needy person for each day they miss.” (Al-Baqarah, 2/184)
As the Çare Association, we will continue our assistance to earthquake victims during Ramadan. Earthquakes have become a reality in our country, and unfortunately, thousands of people lost their lives due to the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş last year. When earthquake victims are left homeless, they have to struggle with difficult living conditions. We deliver your zakat, charity, fitra, and fidya donations to earthquake victims to meet their needs during Ramadan.
"We are only the means."
