Food Baskets for Ramadan, 2009
This year Small Kindness aimed to lend the most practical help possible to the needy people of Iraq by preparing special Ramadan food baskets. Each basket contained high quality essential goods, including eggs, bread, flour and cooking oils – all of which have increased significantly in price over the past year and are thus unaffordable for a large number of Iraqi people.
While security in Baghdad remains a significant concern, distribution of these baskets was undertaken with the utmost diligence by our field staff to ensure that the food reached those most in need during the holy month. Some of the orphans who have been helped by your donations wrote a handwritten sign wishing you a blessed Ramadan.read more.

About Small Kindness
Founded in 2000, Small Kindness was one of the first charities to offer practical support to the many thousands of refugees left destitute by the war in the Balkans.
Today Small Kindness is a UN affiliated NGO with field offices across the globe, and is actively assisting in some of the largest humanitarian crises facing the world today. These include the aftermath of the Asian tsunami of 2004, the Kashmir earthquake of 2005 and the current conflict in Iraq. In tandem with emergency relief work, the charity devotes much of its resources to sustainable development projects, educational initiatives, and orphan/family sponsorship.
By visiting the Small Kindness website you can find out more about our ongoing programmes, and read moving stories from some of those who have benefited directly from the charity’s work – made possible through the generosity of donors and supporters.
