About us
A small charity, minutes from Al-Haram.
Who we are
Sadaka Live is a small nonprofit that does one thing: it turns donations into food and gifts, handed out personally in Makkah — the city of the Qibla, where every day thousands of pilgrims, workers and travellers end up far from home with very little.
The organization was founded in 2025 by Stanislav Iliukhin, a Muslim who lives in Makkah, a short walk from Al-Haram. What began as a personal habit — buying food before maghrib and giving it to whoever was breaking their fast on the street — grew into a documented, year-round practice, and then into a registered charity so that people anywhere in the world could take part in it.
What we do
- Hot iftar meals — for people breaking their fast around Al-Haram and at the mosques of Makkah. Through Ramadan 1447 (2026) we ran a daily iftar series: thirty days, every day filmed.
- Printed mushafs — placed in the hands of worshippers who came without one.
- Prayer rugs — for those who spread cardboard on the marble.
- Cold water and dates — in the Makkah heat, the simplest sadaka there is.
Everything is bought locally, in the same city, usually the same day. No warehouses, no shipping, no middlemen taking a cut on the way.
Why you can check us
We publish our work instead of describing it. Over 300 dated posts and videos are open on our Instagram and YouTube, and the distribution log on the main page links straight to them. If a distribution is not documented, we do not count it.
