Amidst cultural genocide, 50,000 Uyghur refugees sought refuge in Turkey. Let's reflect on the profound difference between our everyday privileges and the struggles faced by these Uyghur children.

While we feel excited for our lunch, all the flavours, the cuisines, and the ease with which our meals arrive, for Uyghur children, food is a luxury.

This Ramadan, let’s unite and extend the joy of food to children who dream of simple pleasures we take for granted.

At just 14, Abdullah faces the heart-wrenching reality of being torn apart from his parents and four siblings, a consequence of displacement and persecution – the toughest challenge he has ever known.

Imagine being Abdullah, feeling alone without your family around. Every day can seem very long and sad when you miss your family and worry about when you'll see them again.

But then, something good happened. Abdullah started getting meals at school. These meals did more than just fill him up; they made him feel cared for and hopeful. Now, he can think about a future where things are better and he's happy.

Extend your hearts to Uyghur refugees like Abdullah this Ramadan.
