Allah ﷻ says in the Holy Quran, “And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive…” (Al Insan).
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Show affection to the orphans and feed the poor”.
The Gambaru and Ngala region of northeastern Nigeria lived under the violent rule of militias for many years before being pacified by the central government at the turn of 2017. The conflict left the local population living in camps in acute need of food, health care, and clean water – surviving on less than a liter of water per person per day. Here are some photos of the orphans in Gambaru and Ngala villages that Tariqa Karkariya is dedicated to supporting financially and providing food and water.
