Muslim Aid has launched a unique campaign to raise £100,000 by Friday 2nd March for the immediate delivery of essential relief to refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria. As the situation within Syria continues to deteriorate the number of affected families caught up in the crisis are finding it difficult to access neighbouring countries. Those which do manage to cross require food, medication and other necessities.
In order to ensure a rapid and effective response, Muslim Aid has pledged to raise £100,000 for the people of Syria via Text Giving by the end of next week. To meet the target, 10,000 people are required to donate £10 each. The campaign was initiated on 22nd February 2012 through a viral campaign of text messages, the Muslim Aid website, Facebook and Twitter. The public is urged to not only donate but also to spread the word of this campaign through their networks.
A spokesperson for the Charity added, “Muslim Aid is on the ground, on your behalf, to help the Syrian people. Our staff and partners are struggling to meet the increasing need of the refugees. The situation is getting worse day by day. We urge the community to come forward with their support to the Syrian refugees who are in desperate need of help.”
