Ramadan is a month of generosity, compassion, and charity. It is a time when Muslims around the world come together to show kindness and love towards one another. During this sacred month, it is customary for Muslims to give to the less fortunate, and one way of doing this is through the distribution of food packages. These packages are given to families in need, to help them celebrate the month of Ramadan with dignity and joy.
This year, with the help of your donations, we were able to provide over 230 poor households in Srimangal and Bhairab Bazar, Moulvibazar area, with our “Ramadan Food Package”. Each package contained a variety of essential items that will help families prepare nutritious meals throughout the month of Ramadan.
