A Singapore-based charity has completed the transfer of the final tranche of S$1.1 million raised during Ramadan to UNICEF to support humanitarian efforts in Gaza. The funds were collected as part of a large-scale fundraising campaign.
The charity, which has requested to remain unnamed, has been at the forefront of several humanitarian initiatives over the years, particularly in regions severely impacted by conflict and poverty. This year’s Ramadan fundraising campaign was one of its most successful, rallying support from the local Muslim community as well as non-Muslims who were moved by the plight of Gaza’s vulnerable population.
The final transfer, amounting to S$1.1 million, marks the culmination of months of efforts to gather and distribute the donations efficiently. The funds will be utilized by UNICEF to provide essential supplies such as food, clean water, medical supplies, and educational resources to children in Gaza. UNICEF, a leading global organization dedicated to the welfare of children, has been active in the region, working tirelessly to mitigate the impact of the ongoing conflict on young lives.
The charity’s campaign is part of a broader effort by various organizations in Singapore to respond to global humanitarian crises. Over the years, Singapore has built a reputation for its charitable contributions to international causes, often rallying significant funds during times of need.
UNICEF has also acknowledged the contribution, emphasizing the importance of global solidarity in addressing the needs of children in conflict zones. A representative from UNICEF said, “The support from the Singapore community is invaluable. Every dollar raised will go a long way in providing critical support to the children of Gaza, who have endured unimaginable hardships.
