Real numbers. Real people. Real change. A look back at the incredible impact your tins have created around the world.
Every Ramadan, you buy a tin of dates.
A simple £10 act.
A small gesture of love.
A gift shared with family and friends.
But behind every tin is something much bigger — hope.
Thanks to your kindness, generosity, and trust, The Date Project has turned ordinary purchases into extraordinary impact across the world. Here’s what YOU have helped us achieve.
