Campaign Story
Turkey is currently home to many Uyghur refugees. Uyghur Muslims first started coming to Turkey in the 1990s, fleeing persecution in their home of Xinjiang, China (East Turkistan) since the Chinese government was committing human rights abuses on local Turkic populations such as Uyghurs and Kazakhs. International rights organizations and some Western countries including the U.S. say China has arbitrarily detained more than 1 million Uyghurs and other Turkic ethnic groups in internment camps in Xinjiang since early 2017.
They have been subject to compulsory sterilisation, physical and sexual abuse, repression of religion and the destruction of religious buildings, and an unending stream of state-sponsored propaganda.
More than 50,000 Uyghur refugees have sought refuge in Turkey since. As refugees, they now live in overcrowded households, struggling to meet their food needs, pay their bills or access education, employment and healthcare. May families are living with severe limitations and it is very difficult to meet the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. Temperatures in Kayseri can fall as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius (-13 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter.
Donations to this campaign will help provide food baskets for 500 Uyghur refugee families in Kayseri, Turkey.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter. And whoever covers (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will cover (his faults) for him in the world and the Hereafter. And Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother.” [Tirmidhi]
