Marriage Support Appeal

Marriage Support

For a family with no savings, marrying a daughter can mean years of debt. £550 covers the essentials so a family can celebrate without borrowing.

Where we deliver

What's Happening

In the communities we serve, a family is expected to provide household essentials when a daughter marries — bedding, cooking equipment, furniture and basic clothing.

Families with no savings borrow from informal lenders at punishing rates, and spend years repaying a single day. Some delay a marriage for years because they simply cannot meet the cost.

The need is modest and practical: the essential items for a new household, and the cost of a simple ceremony.

Marriage Support — relief work in the field

Our Response

Cases are referred by community leaders and verified by our Pakistan team, who check the family's circumstances before any support is approved.

We buy the essentials directly rather than giving cash, and support a simple Sunnah-style ceremony. Each case is documented and reported back.

“The best of marriages is the one that is least burdensome.”
