Quman Egeh Jibril, a 52-year-old mother of six, has faced crisis after crisis. After losing her husband, famine swept through her village, killing their livestock — the family’s only source of income.
To survive, Quman began collecting milk from nearby rural areas to sell in the market. It was just enough to manage — until the drought worsened. Soon there was no milk to sell, no food to prepare, and her children went to bed hungry night after night.
When ARF reached Quman, her story deeply moved us. With support from donors like you, we delivered emergency food assistance to her family. As she received the food package, she prayed aloud: “May you never know hunger.”
Your generosity gave a mother running out of options renewed hope — and gave six hungry children a reason to smile again.

"If anyone relieves a Muslim believer from one of the hardships of this worldly life, Allah will relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection." (Muslim, 29)
Sadly, Quman’s struggle is the reality for millions.
