10 years of Service and more appreciated

On Sunday September 5th on the back streets of Downtown Los Angeles, an assembly took place. The Coalition to Preserve Human Dignity (CPHD) returned for its annual event. Ramadan a fasting month for spiritual reflection, improvement and obligated charity. Humanitarian Day has been apart of the Los Angeles Muslim community for the past 10 years. A social network of volunteers, organizations and institutions forms this interfaith coalition. Sharing resources addressing advocacy of homelessness,  its misaddressed policies and most of all the provision of medial, meals and new items for those in need. The CPHD will begin to address America's social ill - homelessness.

Humanitarian Day increased in relationships this year. Strong institutions supported the coalition's efforts with in kind donations, presence and event planning. Existing partners such as Hearts of Mercy, Orange County Islamic Foundation, Islamic Community of Irvine were joined by the Los Angeles Police Department and Macy's Department Stores. Muslim Society of America (MAS Valley) sponsored the long awaited H-Day bags, relationship is what make this event so special. 

In ten years H-Day has always been sponsored from the generosity of the coalition. The Church of Latter Day Saints partnership provides hygiene and schools - medical services are provided by the Umma Community Clinic, makes H-Day health conscience event. Los Angeles alone has 200,000 homeless individuals living below standards. 

Over the past ten years, H-Day has been featured in over 20 cities across America serving 60,000 people with the help of nearly 20,000 volunteers; making Humanitarian not only a tradition, but the largest gathering of Muslims serving humanity in the United States. In 2007 international site were added; Indonesia and Ghana. Both having very different demographics from each other and the United States, but all serving the people with Dignity, Love and Respect.

Humanitarian Day International


Humanitarian Day (H-Day) a domestic direct service, having its origin in Downtown Los Angeles' Skid Row community. An event during Ramadan providing needs, goods and services for; individuals, families in transition, and the homeless.

In 2007-2008  H-Day's outreach expanded internationally to, Ghana and Indonesia. There our focus is more on medical and nutritional support, youth development and urban planning. Over the years, your contributions have gone forth to provide...
  • Medical and Nutritional support in Indonesia
  • Youth Development and Education for healthy bodies and minds in Ghana
  • The completion of facilities for community services and hygiene support
  • Community iftars during Ramadan
Now in 2012, H-Day International has started grass-root efforts in Jedda, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia. These efforts are the beginning and vision of H-Day's mission statement, Convert one into a Life's Mission. In Ethiopia, your contribution helped provide an iftar for Orphans; and Ghana was education and asisstance for students. A healthy meal for growing minds and education for healthy minds, Thank you!
ILM Foundation's Naim Shah Jr. in Ghana for H-Day Ghana



H-Day Ethiopia's Iftar
Recently the H-Day soul has arrived in Jedda, Saudi Arabia. The Coalition to Preserve Human Dignity are  providing health care packets for those residents who are less fortunate. Watch here, out of respect this clip only documents what is necessary; safe guarding privacy and one's dignity.


 H-Day international is growing and we need your prayers (dua) support to continue this work, that provides blessings for everyone. 
Humanitarian Day is dedicated to direct social services and education for those displaced or homeless in America and abroad. We are not a political party and/or group who deals for with domestic or foreign policy matters. We pray for Safe Spaces for those unprotected, homes for those unsheltered, jobs for those unemployed, and basic necessities for all in need. Thank You for the Opportunity to Serve!

We apologize for any inconvenience

As'salaamu alaykum,

Ramadan Mubarak... It has come to our attention the Los Angeles Police Department issued parking citations, during your charity work. In the 13 years of Humanitarian Day, we have never had a problem with parking.

Coincidence, a local community event, street closure extended into our parking area. This logistic we did not see coming and was not prepared for and we do apologize for the inconvenience.

Hopefully you know this was out our control. We will visit the City of Los Angeles this week and see how they can alleviate this burden. Our Security Lead did collect your contact information and citation numbers and we are working trying alleviate any if not all cost of these citations. If would not please pay these citations to avoid any penalties. Those we collected, we will be in contact and keep you updated this week.

Despite the heat, we were able to 600 and additional 400 deliveries directly to the people. May Allah Accept our action and deeds...amin and thank you.

"Today we earned our iftar, enjoyed it and keep us in your dua"
