RAMADAN - FOOD PARCELS
During the holy and contemplative month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world spend time with their loved ones, fast and pray together. For muslims, in war-torn and poverty-stricken countries, however, the situation is different. They can only look forward to and prepare for this beautiful time to a limited extent, and sometimes not at all. They already lack sufficient food, so that when they break their fast, they have little or nothing to eat to celebrate their fast with their families. For this reason, ASIYAH works annually to assemble balanced food parcels for needy families.
These consist of:
- 25 kilograms of rice
- 1 kilogram of sugar
- 6 liters of oil
Additional country-specific ingredients such as:
- Spaghetti
- Tomato paste
- Cheese
- and more...
During Ramadan 2019, the first food parcels were distributed in Togo and the Palestinian autonomous territories. In the Palestinian city of Nablus, an orphanage with 50 children was provided with food parcels. In Togo, this project was carried out in cooperation with the team of Al-Mabrour. Up to 200 packages were distributed daily in the prayer houses. ASIYAH also ensured the provision of an orphanage in Adidogomé as well as approximately 70 widows, whose food needs were secured for full two weeks.
In order to continue to carry out such wonderful projects and be able to accomplish even greater things, we rely on Your donations!
