Dear Humanitarian

Assalaam Alaikum,

I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits, and that your 2024 has been both rewarding and successful, inshallah. I am seeking your support for the UMR Team that is climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise awareness and urgent funds for millions affected in Sudan.

The recent conflict in Sudan has created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Over 18 million people have been displaced and are facing severe hunger, illness, and disease. Casualties are rising by the hour. The health sector has almost collapsed, leading to a significant increase in untreated chronic illnesses. With more than 17 million individuals lacking access to essential medical services and basic nutrition, the situation is critical.

UMR is currently providing medical kits and supplies to treat more than 50,000 people per month while also providing meals to thousands of households. UMR is working directly and through our partners to deliver 1.7 million meals and supply healthcare facilities. The need is enormous and your help to expand our work in Sudan is urgent.

UMR’s team of 20 climbers includes UMR COO, Mr. Muhieldin Salih, and the UMR Kenya Board Members. They will begin their climb on January 5, 2025 with the hope to reach the summit on January 10th. By January 12th the team is expected to be back safely at basecamp, inshallah.

While the climb is difficult and dangerous and lasts for nine long days, it pales in comparison to the daily hardship of our Sudanese brothers and sisters. They have endured years of worsening conditions and unimaginable suffering, hunger, sickness and death. The climb was developed to highlight the plight of the Sudanese people and to bring the urgent support they so critically need.

Through this tough and challenging climb of Kilimanjaro we hope to inspire you to join us on our mission in Sudan. I appeal for your support and donation on behalf of the millions of unfortunate and suffering Sudanese. They depend on donors like you.

We encourage you to consider becoming a Silver ($75,000), Gold ($100,000) or Platinum ($150,000) Sponsor to make your gift go as far as possible, reaching the most vulnerable families in Sudan.

As we enter a new year, I pray for your health and prosperity. May 2025 bring you peace, success and barakah in all that you undertake, ameen.

Jazakhallah Khair
