As winter wraps its chilly arms around those in need, UMR steps in, giving a warm embrace on the coldest night. In our mission to cater to the diverse needs of those weathering national crises, UMR ensures that every individual receives specific aid meeting their unique requirements. Here’s how we’re weaving warmth for everyone in need.

UMR’s Winter Relief Campaign begins a heartwarming initiative for children by distributing winter coats. If you want these children, regardless of circumstance, to be dressed in brand-new winter coats, UMR is the organization to collaborate with. This way, we get to keep the cold at bay and care for the young hearth and keep them in a cocoon of protection.

We understand that winter attire means more than just clothing. UMR takes another compassionate spin by offering jackets, sweaters, scarves, gloves, raincoats, and hats. This is one of the ways we can address all the needs of the devasted families and ensure their overall well-being.

In the freezing grasp of winter, UMR is also distributing heaters—sending warm hugs to their homes. To help them fight the winter bite, UMR provides them with diesel or kerosene heaters that deliver warmth. Other than providing comfort, this initiative aims to prevent cold-related illnesses, a prevalent risk in communities facing harsh winter conditions.

As the winter nights grow longer, UMR understands the significance of a good night’s sleep. Our provision of warm blankets and bedding can cradle families in comfort throughout the frosty nights. Participate in this program to offer the people a sense sense of security.
Displaced populations live in makeshift tents, which is often the only option available. UMR is providing thermal tent installations instead of just providing a roof over these people’s heads. You can create a space of stability and security in the face of adversity.
