Due to logistics and costs, we can only consider accepting in-kind donations from institutional donors and manufacturers who deal primarily with in-kind goods as well as other NGOs. The cost to pack, ship, and distribute items from individual donors is typically greater than if they were purchased local to the area of crisis or from a neighboring country. The most effective way to help MIG aid those in need is through a financial contribution. We encourage our donors to support their local community by giving in-kind goods to local mosques or organizations in their area who are best able to distribute the items to those in need.
