Under the slogan “Save Lives” the Noble Acts Foundation in Singapore launches the 2022/2023 winter campaign, with the aim of providing basic necessities to confront the winter cold and its dangers. Beneficiaries from the most vulnerable groups in Lebanon and Turkish camps will benefit from necessities such as food, shelter, heating and other relief projects.
This campaign comes at a time when Lebanon and Turkey are witnessing a significant and continuous rise in the cost of living, which from the beginning of 2020 until the end of August 2022 reached 272%, according to the Central Statistics Department. Referring to a report issued by the World Bank regarding the food situation in the world, and the rise in prices in connection with the increase in inflation rates in most countries of the world, food prices in Lebanon increased by 198 percent.

In this context, Noble Acts with the support of philanthropists, is keen every year to implement such a campaign at the beginning of each winter to alleviate the suffering of the needy Lebanese, Syrians and Palestinians in various Lebanese regions, especially the remote border areas and refugee camps in Turkey, and to contribute to saving the lives of thousands of children, women and the elderly in the regions that are most affected.  By contributing in the areas of: food, accommodation and heating.
This reality represents a major challenge for all institutions working in the humanitarian field and requires them to mobilize more resources and a lot of energies in order to contribute to maintaining the safety of these groups and reducing the risks that threaten them.

In view of the difficult conditions experienced by the Lebanese citizens and the refugees in Lebanon and Turkey, which is witnessing its worst economic crisis, Noble Acts appeals to philanthropists to support its campaign for this season so that it can reach the targets and provide them with warmth.

The Care For Orphans campaign includes various activities to offer joy and support to orphans. These types of activities help to foster a sense of community among society’s members. Furthermore, financial sponsorships were granted to 120 orphans throughout March 2022.

Since donations are not limited to cash support, the Noble Acts team with Abdul Karim Bin Sadali (KC), Nur Hafizah Binye Osman (Fiza O), and Mohd Rafaat Bin Hamzah, visited the orphanage and spent time with the orphans where they ate together and did some activities. Moreover, they provided psychological and emotional support to them. 

The Noble Acts Foundation seeks to continue providing its financial and psychological support to orphans by continuing to receive donations for the Care For Orphans campaign.

Thousands of lives have been lost, nearly four million refugees have fled fas cities and neighbourhoods are reduced to rubble. The human suffering in Ukraine has horrified the world as the needs of the innocent and the vulnerable are there for all to see.

But, this crisis will cause waves of need and deprivation in corners of the world far from Europe, in places you probably have not even considered, pushing the world’s hungriest further into crippling poverty. Conflicts remain a key driver of food insecurity in the world. The wider fallout of the crisis in Ukraine will be far-reaching and devastating, especially for countries dependent on food imports and aid, such as Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan.

Ukraine and Russia produce nearly 30 per cent of wheat globally. But, the conflict will disrupt new season’s planting, and prices are already increasing because of a spooked market. This will be another shock to hungry families, where bread is often the only staple keeping their children alive. It could push them over the edge. And, as wheat is a staple in diets across the world, including in some of the most conflict-ridden countries, the flow-on impact could be devastating.

This conflict will send shock waves across 43 countries where 45 million people are at risk of starvation. That 45 million figure was 39 million just a year ago, due to the socio-economic impacts of COVID. Any further shocks will be deadly.

The trouble doesn’t end there. The Ukraine crisis has magnified already rising fuel, fertilizer and freight costs, and is estimated to double or triple the prices of staple foods. Dramatically increased prices of bread, rice, pasta and cooking oil will force aid agencies, such as World Vision and the World Food Program, to source wheat from elsewhere at greatly inflated prices. With the extreme funding shortages across many humanitarian responses, aid organisations will be forced to make the impossible choice – which hungry child eats and which does not.

Noble Acts Foundation calls for an end to and accountability for Russian war crimes, a robust response to meet humanitarian needs in Ukraine, and broad protection for refugees fleeing Ukraine.

Afflicted by widespread hunger, disease and displacement, Yemen’s dire humanitarian crisis is expected to worsen in the coming months, international aid organisations say. Caught between a protracted war and economic collapse, at least 17.4 million people – more than half of the country’s population – are in need of food assistance.

Though the UN considers Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian disaster, a recent pledging conference failed to raise enough money to prevent further catastrophe. Only $1.3bn of a $4.3bn donation goal was raised to address Yemen’s food insecurity.

Earlier this year the World Food Programme was forced to reduce food rations for eight million people, due to their own funding shortages. The projection for famine is expected to grow five-fold and affect 161,000 people by June.

Food prices have doubled across much of Yemen in the past year, and with the war in Ukraine expected to cause a surge in the price of wheat globally, more Yemenis may be forced into needing food assistance. Yemen’s food supplies are mostly imported and the country obtains about a third of its wheat from Ukraine.
